Some mixtape staples of the nineties.
For the ladies.
Obviously. I think the only friends, male, who received mixtapes of some variety. Colin. Mike D.
Some of these tracks probably made their way into the early oh-ohs. (Is there an acceptable term for this decade?)
I hated the mix compact disc. Mixtapes had character. Now I only operate with full albums. The last mix -- and it was a compact disc -- maybe four years ago?
A highlight of the mixtape. The packaging. I put way too much time into the packaging. For something that looked like an elementary school collage when all was said and done.
Magazines and catalogs were my medium. I made a menswe@r tape. For listening in the Volvo. Denim page of a J Crew catalog.

fyi i actually have every mix tape that you made me while at syracuse. although not the variety as above, mostly hardcore and some metal. now i need a tape deck to enjoy these again. thinking i want to listen to some canon.
Ask. And you shall receive. I will have the Canon seven inch up in the next few days.
Tape decks are few and far between.
