old fashioned mixtapes


Many years ago before iPod playlists the art of mixtape was much more complicated... for a start it was done on cassette so it took about 3 hours to do a 90 minute mix and you had to get all the records out first and sequence them before you started.



A lot of love went into every hissing tune that was hand picked for whoever you were making the tape for. Normally it was made for a potential sexual partner to tell them you had the hots for them and to impress them with your musical taste. Or a musical buddy who you were trying to educate.

E' inutile che posti il cd che Le ho prestato nel vano tentativo di farsi perdonare perché non me lo riporterà mercoledì sera come si era detto...

Comunque, anch'io avevo in mente di parlare di Late night tales e Back to mine sul mio blog.

Le do' appuntamento a quel post, quando arriverà
