This is a question Mix Tapes

Everyone'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?

Before CD players and the likes
I always made mix tapes for my Walkman as I never actually bought tapes.

Not an amusing story but it is funny how sometimes listening to a song I expect one that was in the mix tape to follow...kind of disappointed when it doesn't.

The best bit was making sure your last song ended just as the tape did. Many of my tapes would finish with a track from "Small songs for Small People" just to get to the end.

Also even now if a song from a mix tape comes on I can remember where I was.

Less Than Jake - Look What Happened was me running home from my standard grade music exam in order to watch the France v Senegol game in the World Cup in 2002!


And everyone knows the best part of a mix tape is actually making it...magic times. Now a days everything is a click and drag away :-(

Ah, I know the feeling
whenever I hear Harmony In My Head by The Buzzcocks, I expect Around The World by The Jam to start playing.

I miss my walkman *sniff*

Too right about the making of them being the best part!
