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?

Not your usual mixtapeIn the mid 90s, my mates and I regularly made mix tapes for each other as we spiralled off into our own unique voyages of musical discovery. Some awesome songs emerged that ended up becoming staples, such as a Sitar tune where it sounded like a whole chorus were singing "cunnnnt... unnnnt" over and over again. One of us was into obsure punk bands, another into deep funk, another into dance and so on, so eventually our tapes evolved into stupendously eclectic collections that represented thousands of hours of research.
However, the best mix tape I ever made was a 30-min compilation of commodore 64 game tunes on an authentic Boots computer tape. There is nothing tragic about that at all. My mate said it was awesome music for doing the washing up to.
