Word!<BR/><BR/>I then segued (sp??) into CD mixes as well but lost some of the very special hands-on art of the tape mixes. I moved on to making sleeves on the computer which was awesome but not as crazy and didn't involve markers and stickers so, you know, less ridiculous in a way.<BR/><BR/>Some of my tape mixes also included hits from the radio and an occasional snippet from a movie or tv show that had special meaning or was an inside joke, etc.<BR/><BR/>You are inspiring me to revisit this art very soon. I think markers and stickers should be involved.<BR/><BR/>And I fully support your crazy companion artists. I am quite certain that I have made a mix featuring the unlikely pairings of John Denver/Rob Zombie and also Lynard Skynard/They Might Be Giants. Awesome.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770792935592686288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-76579361816587493252008-09-22T11:11:00.000-04:002008-09-22T11:11:00.000-04:00How much fun is that???

My high school mix tapes were all copied from the radio so they usually cut off like 5 seconds before they should and the tape has been played so much it's staticy, but still fun to find!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928987263976007503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-34918116863247645012008-09-22T10:21:00.000-04:002008-09-22T10:21:00.000-04:00HA Erin - I am not ashamed.

I will even admit I only started listening to them beacuse they were on Bad Boy Records and i was obsessed with all things Puff Daddy in the late 90s, early 00s. I'm not ashamed!<BR/><BR/>Jackie i LOVE me some Tupac. I made a "love songs" mix about 5 years ago that featured "All About U". A wicked romantic song, I know.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330391724110107705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-4887654490626929762008-09-22T10:16:00.000-04:002008-09-22T10:16:00.000-04:00That is seriously a little bit of awesome.

My best friend in high school and I would always give our mixed tapes crazy names - like "Ladels are Fabulous". <BR/><BR/>And yes, TaTu and Fleety Mac most definitely belong on the same CD. In fact, I just burnt a mix that contains nothing less of 2Pac, Frank Sinatra, and Jesse McCartney all on the same disc. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053152.post-86282810539595294512008-09-22T10:14:00.000-04:002008-09-22T10:14:00.000-04:00I'm embarrassed to say it but I actually own the D...I'm embarrassed to say it but I actually own the Dream CD. It gets worse. When the songs come on iTunes I can sing along to them all. So just know that you aren't alone in eclectic musical tastes :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007151733189139559noreply@blogger.com
