Mixed Tape!
Today was garbage day, so I decided to go through a bunch of stuff to see what I could throw away before the real hardcore packing begins and my trash can is overflowing.I found two Walkmans (the tape playing kind) in my bedroom and then downstairs I found a bag of mixed tapes. Greatest. Thing. Ever.
Tonight instead of listening to my iPod while working, I used the Walkman. I found a tape where I'd taped songs off the radio including such gems as the Monkees "Daydream Believer", Kenny Loggins "Back to Pooh Corner" and Harry Chapin "Cats in the Cradle". I also managed to tape the weather report (looks like snow), the news (President Clinton did something) and ads (the movie rental place had new releases White Fang 2 and Sirens). Given the movies and the weather, I'd say this tape was made sometime around late fall 1994.
I also found a mixed tape an ex boyfriend made for me in college. My car only had a tape player so I was pretty stuck. The tape is an awesome workout tape because he was a DJ on the side and it's mostly dance remixes.
Next up are some much older tapes that I know are my first attempts at creating the perfect mixed tape. I think was 10 or 11 at the time. My week of work has just become a million times more enjoyable.
