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?

LowWhen I was about ten I was a bit stuck as to what to get a mate for his birthday. We were both massive MC Hammer fans at the time, and I had a copy of the album so I decided to tape it off for him, using the wonders of modern technology. I even went to the library and photocopied the sleeve into horrible black and white, and glued the two sides together as I couldn't figure out how to get it to copy double-sided.
Even my mum thought this was a bad idea, and suggested I got him something else. "Nah, he'll love it, he loves MC Hammer!" thought I.
On his birthday I awaited his reaction to my gift with baited breath. He opened it and I suddenly realised that it did look a bit cheap. He looked kind of disgusted, but thanked me anything. What made things worse was that one of his other mates had got him the real tape.
We weren't really friends after that.
