Mix TapesEveryone's made a mix tape (or CD, USB stick, or whatever kids do these days). Mostly to get in someone else's pants, but we're sure there are other, lesser, reasons too.
So, who did you make it for and why?
And... what was on it?

the perfect mix tapeI made The Perfect Mix Tape the summer I was 21. It lived in my mate's car and we went everywhere listening to it. It was the perfect soundtrack to a perfect summer - a work of art. Each song led to the next in a flowing, symphonic, brilliant sculpture of sound collage. We sang to it, laughed to it, chilled to it, it was the God of all Things. It soared through the blue skies of our misspent youth.
Yes, that's the past tense I'm writing this in for I have it no longer and because of this my life is now colourless and drab.
What happened to it? This mythical product of fleeting, staggering genius?
My friend, my lovely wonderful friend, sold her fucking car with my fucking tape still infuckingside it.
My heart was all broken and smashed but I learned my lesson. On that I day I swore I would never again dabble in the bewitching sorcery that is compiling songs.
