Twitter Round Up - up to 31st October 2009
We mentioned the project on Twtter this week. Amongst the pledges to add a tape, we captured a number of comments about mix tapes. In the spirit of the project, and as some tweets were protected, these are represented here as anonymous:
I think we threw all our mixtapes out with the cassette player a few years ago!
I've still got tapes of the top 40 I recorded *cough* years ago. The days before children had disposable incomes.
I used to make mixtapes (of the unmixed variety) for [my partner] when we were 16. Used C15 computer tapes with ~5 songs.
I put a whole box of tapes up in the loft the other weekend. Time to get them back down again...
The making of "mixtapes" was my shy teenage proxy for flirting in the early 90s.
did you really say 'mixtape'? Does Nick Hornby use it? Only time I ever saw/heard it growing up was on mixed DJ tapes.
on further research it seems mixtape is a US term for compilation. Never heard that use until recently now it's become trendy.
