The lost art of the mix tape.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -
I was (and still am) more of an album guy, so I usually just taped an entire album onto a cassette for listening in the car or on my walkman. If I still had room left on the tape, I would usually add another song or two from the same artist, guess I was a bit OCD that way. -

I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

Half the fun of making mixtapes was selecting the perfect back-to-back jammies and mastering the perfect pause technique to match them up with the exact amount of pause between 'em, the other half was breaking out the scissors and glue stick to paste up the insert just right. Man, I miss those countless hours.

Edited to add: I don't regret being caught up in New Wave and Punk immediately prior to "hair bands" so I'll gladly admit to putting those kind of tunes on a mix tape back in the day.Last edited by Makernaut; Oct 19, '18, 2:42 PM.Comment

I can remember doing my own artwork for them. My then girlfriend would get "The Beauty and the Beast Mix" or "The Garfield Mix", etc.
I wish I'd saved some of my custom collages also. I did one for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan that was a bit of a decoupage masterpiece. Although it wasn't a mix tape, just a cassette dub of the LP. But still, custom art.Comment

I mostly had albums. I made mix CDs later on. My friends gave me some mix tapes, though. I remember messing around a little with a recorder. A long time ago, someone I know recorded the opening of Bridge On The River Kwai onto audio cassette. Had a little Art Bell taped too.
That Men Without Hats album had a weird Antarctica song on it! Ha!, ha! I liked it.Comment

Not lost on me! I still have several cassette recorders, (including my classroom), and a co-worker gave me a stockpile of new cassette tapes. Old school all the way!"Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."Comment
