Mitch Hagan

Once upon a time there was a guy named Mitch Hagan. Up until a recent point in his life, he owned such CD's as Dido's No Angel, Keely Smith's Keely Sings Sinatra, and two R.E.M. albums: Green and Monster.

I know this because I was thrift store shopping yesterday, and had the eerie experience of finding every CD I pulled from the shelf had a personalized "Mitch Hagan" label on it.

This strikes me for two reasons. First, I would think if you're the sort of person who puts personalized labels on your every possession, you would also be [anal/paranoid/etc] enough to peel off said labels when you donate these items to a thrift store. Second, I have precisely the same taste in music as Mitch Hagan's former self. Does this mean that I, one day, will metamorphose into the current Mitch Hagan, decide I no longer like R.E.M., Keely Smith, or that "Thank U" song, and return these discs to the thrift store from whence I purchased them?

What do you think, Mitch? Are you out there?
