Description


The Compilation Compilation documents Jennifer Robbins' annual compilation CD project from 1998 to 2010. In the years between mixtapes and streaming music services, compilation CDs were the way to share music. It was during this era that Jennifer Robbins lovingly crafted yearly mixes to spread the word about her favorite new bands to friends and family. Taken together, the CD project is a testament to her ongoing love of music, design, and community. The playlists, artwork, and liner notes provide a snapshot of the indie music scene throughout the '00s as well a glimpse into one woman's path through single life, marriage, home ownership, professional endeavors, and motherhood. Every CD listing includes QR codes that magically take you to Spotify and Apple Music playlists for that compilation, making it easy to listen along.
