For you young puppies, the Mix Tape was a wonderous thing in the 80s and 90s. We didint have digitial music, ipods and spotify..... it was either on vinyl, cassette and later on CD. The Mix Tape was generally used to hand out to friends who could play it in their car tape player - very similar to a Spotify playlist......
The Mix Tape required time, dedication and a good taste of music. My brother was pretty good at them.
Method? You put your CD in, select the song you want to record, press play on the CD player and hit record on the tape player at the same time. The interesting thing is you had to hang around and listen to the song and press pause or stop at the end of the song, so you were prepared for the next song. You get the idea...... in any case, i hope you had a good break over the festive season and i thought i would provide you with my Mix Tape from my various road trips down south......
The FINESPUN Festive Season Mixed Tape - HERE
A Side: Slow soulful stuff which allows you to refelct on the past year and how you never became the person you thought you would. But you know you're better than that.
B SIde: Slightly punchier and pushes you towards (once again) the person you think you will become. Eventually asking you to Wake Up and Say Yes to Life. You are even better than you think you are.
