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?

Driving across Canada in the late 80swith a mate called Mark. He was into Black Box, Five Star, Snap! etc etc. Boy did he love the mainstream.
I was going through an extended Goth/Indie phase that still hasn't really left me.
So I made a tape to play on our trip filled to the brim with tracks I knew he'd hate. I even titled it "BTAM" in nice spidery gothic lettering on the inlay. "BTAM?" I hear you ask. He asked the same thing. Repeatedly.
We'd parked downtown to do some food shopping. Mark was badgering me about this tape and as we returned to where we'd left the car I eventually caved in and revealed BTAM stood for "Bound To Annoy Mark".
He walked up to the car, stopped a moment, and then turned around laughing.
"What's so funny?" I asked, "I thought you'd be pissed off at least."
Mark pointed at the passenger window, "I'm never going to have to sit through that tape again... some fucker's broken in and nicked the tape player."
Didn't nick the tape though (or my dirty washing). I still have it somewhere.
