I don't know how you could possibly make such a ridiculous assumption

Also I just realised we have a tape deck with an input doover and all the right cables I can actually make a mix cassette

I think I am going to make one made up entirely of songs that were made before the invention of the CD and give it to a girl who likes redundant technology

Zingoleb:
I am all about the ridiculous assumptions baby

Also, I have a CD player that records tapes. It's a lot easier for me. :p

I may go for this soon.

OK, to kick things off I am going to post the one that I just made today. The tracklist isn't that "new," for lack of a better word - at least to those who frequent the MediaF!re thread or pay attention to music in general. I guess you can decide at your own discretion.

In any event, according to my traditional internet mixtape numbering system, this is volume 11 (I've been making the damn things since 2007... whoa).

From the (rather depressing) note:


--- Quote ---more than anything this one follows a distinct curve: it breaks you, then denies it. then it drags you down, and lifts you back up again.

it was therapeutic for me to make & hear. hopefully it achieves the same for outside listeners.

hope you like it.

I liked this more when we actually sent tapes. Can we do that again?



THE FUTURE STARTS TODAY!

a pack of wolves:
That's a much better idea. Downloadable mp3 mixes just don't work at all, you can skip the tracks too easily (in some ways it's worse if they're all one long track since you end up stabbing wildly to skip things and it all gets far too disjointed). If I was to download the one that's been posted I'd probably give each track about twenty seconds before flicking to the next one and delete the Coldplay and Doves ones immediately on principle. The beauty of a mix is in the transitions, juxtapositions and having someone else's taste forced upon you. You can't do that with mp3s so there's no point. Tapes are the ultimate format for the mix and will never be bettered, although CDs are alright.
