Ahhhh, the mix tape. So much nostalgia conjured up by a four
inch piece of plastic, with sepia brown ribbon tightly wound up
inside. As a child of the 80's, I will forever remain reminiscently
attached to the mix tape. I cannot begin to count the number of
hours I sat on my bedroom floor with my silver boom box gathering
the necessary cassettes, listing out intended songs, recording,
then rewinding to make sure that the previous track lead in nicely
to the next (you know, it's all about the flow, baby).
A mix tape is not just a collection of tunes, it's like poetry.
I know, dramatic, right? But it's true. A "mixer" really becomes a
poet when he weaves the intended story together on cassette. A mix
tape can be as simple as blending dance tracks together for a rad
party; a collection of sentimental hints intended for a new crush
to take notice of; an inspirational combo for a friend; or an
up-beat medley for a road trip. The songs you choose, the way they
are interlaced, the carefully chosen title inked with a black
Sharpie; it's serious stuff, man.
