Cassette From My Ex
So this site, cassettefrommyex.com, completely speaks to the nostalgic music lover in me. I just had to dig out a tape from my college years and write an essay about it. Are there some lame songs on it? Yes. Do I still listen to it sometimes? Yes.
Probably more about me than you want to know is laid out in this post, Crazy 8s. But I'd still love it if you'd go visit, leave me a comment, and read through some of the other essays too--while listening to the accompanying mixes, of course. Maybe you have a tape of your own to share (and if so, I must know what's on it). Do people make mix tapes anymore? I think they are the greatest love letters!
This one is my favorite, musically.
Happy Tuesday!

This looks like so much fun that I'm almost scared to go.

I make and trade mix CDs. The best is having a friend to do steady exchanges with. They're a quick way to share music you think someone will love. I've gotten much better at getting a tone for an entire CD. The first mixes I made suffered from multiple personality disorder.

Okay, I dug through my stuff and could only find one playlist I made:
The Beat Generation: Influence
The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
Original Faubus Fables - Charles Mingus
Take Five - The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Break on Through (To The Other Side) - The Doors
Get Behind the Mule - Tom Waits
Walkin Blind - Patti Smith
Tom Dooley - The Kingston Trio
Maxwell's Silver Hammer - The Beatles
Richard Cory - Simon and Garfunkel
Straight, No Chaser - Thelonious Monk
Salt Peanuts - Dizzy Gillespie and His All Star Quintet
Candy and a Currant Bun - Pink Floyd
Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground (This was supposed to be All Tomorrow's Parties but I copied the wrong track.)
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan
E. S. P. - The Miles Davis Quintet
Only one boyfriend made me a CD and I can't find that playlist. It's on an index card somewhere.
