Mixtape Madness
It's funny how one little red button can start a fixation that will last your whole life.
As a child, when I received my first tape deck from a fat man in fancy dress called Santa, I was instantly drawn to the somewhat magical button labeled "RECORD". Initial experiments with this mysterious contraption resulted in 30 minute broadcasts of bird sounds, toilets flushes and arguments with my sister.

As I further refined my skills I realised that it was possible to hold the microphone of my tape deck to the speaker of my TV enabling me to record my favourite songs as they appeared on my favourite music program, Rage.

ReplyDeleteYou know there's people in London hosting mixtape parties now? You have to go along with a mixtape that you've made - put it in like a lucky dip thing and everyone that makes a tape, gets to take someone else's home. Great way of getting to share your music and be exposed to other people's tastes. This would work a treat in Brisbane. There are lots of people there with a bloated sense of self-importance - and some with decent taste in music of course. Lisa S. xx
Reasons why I love London #2543: Mixtape Parties.
ReplyDeleteSounds great Lisa - all they need to do is create a mixtape-party/speed-dating hybrid. Now, that would be fun!
Why would you want to date a mixtape? Weird.
