Remember mix-tapes? Anyone?

[capulet_rose]

So, in a moment of "why the hell not?" I grabbed the 90 minute tape that had been gathering dust on my shelf, sat down in front of my dinosaur of a stereo with my record/CD/tape collection, and made a mix-tape.

AND IT WAS THE FUNNEST THING EVER!
(The Internet has confirmed that "funnest" is actually a real word. *nods*)

The great thing about making a mix-tape, as opposed to a CD or an MP3 track list, is that you actually have to listen to the songs that you are recording, and you have to physically dig through your music collection (Or a time machine to the 90s. Saigon Kick? Really. Yes, really).

Also, you can fit a hell of a lot of tracks onto one ninety minute tape!
