...again. I still have no idea why she came to Harvard (from Ohio?), what she is studying, exactly how old she is, or anything else about her (besides her complete family history, of course).

So here goes, a superstitious mix-tape: Stevie Wonder??s “Superstition” (one of the greatest funk basslines of all time), Janet Jackson’s “Black Cat,” Thelonious Monk’s “Friday the 13th,” Cream’s version of “Born Under a Bad Sign,” and all the great...
