Love Is… A Mixtape of the Unexpected
Growing up, Love Is… was a staple in my house. My parents clipped the comics from the paper and stuck them on the fridge, and of course, I followed suit. Funny enough, the first Love Is… comic was published just days before I was born—so I literally grew up with it. Love is website
Fast forward to college, where love showed up in a whole new way: as a required class called Love & Marriage. The professor? A finance specialist from a local bank, whose love lessons were delivered with the precision of a spreadsheet. One of our assignments was to make a mixtape of love songs. Naturally, I titled mine Love Is…, inspired by the comic strip. Over the years, that mix has evolved, expanding beyond the usual love ballads to embrace love in all its forms—remixed, reimagined, and sometimes delightfully unexpected.
This week, Eclectic Wonderland is celebrating love in all its eclectic glory. From dreamy indie covers to synth-fueled declarations, from classic tracks with a twist to love songs you never expected to fall for—we’re diving deep into the sounds of romance, nostalgia, and connection.
📻 Tune in and turn up the love!
