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?

Mix tapes. I remember them.Songs that started halfway through the intro because I forgot to wind the tape past the clear bit.
Audio levels that went up, down and occasionally non-existent depending on what you were recording from and how knacked it was.
Tape hiss.
Vinyl crackle.
Songs ending halfway through because I didn't have enough tape left.
The song selection getting very strange halfway through side 2 because I was running out of ideas.
The utter bastard ballache of trying to hit the record button at just the right moment.
The whole process taking hours and frequently cocked up by one slipped finger at the last minute.
Oh yes. I remember mix-tapes. Thank Christ for CD burners is all I can say.
Anyway, I did a mixtape for my brother once. 80 minutes of Thrash, punk and Power Metal then "Baby One More Time" to finish. It seemed like a good idea.
