Hahahaha!
Okay so i just listened to my old tapes on a taperecorder.
I was supposed to go the gym but suddenly i thought of those tapes!
I used to make my own radio shows when i was about 12. I had two radio's and one could record so i had music in the background and games and weather reports and everything. So fucking funny , i wish i could put it online. But than again , it's in dutch , so you guys won't understand anyway! X-D
i use to do the same thing when i was 8 or so but in english obviously
Me too! Me and my friend from high school used to babble sarcastic, voice distorting commentary inbetween songs we had recorded off the radio or whatever was lying around our music collections. We used to work together too in high school and our boss would bring in really cheesy top 40 mix tapes and we'd snake them home with us and we were entertained for hours. We'd also use the double cassette recorders and bounce snippets of songs back and forth, making remixes and stuff. It was a lot of fun adding in snippets of our commentary and trying to loop them with such cut rate technology. The results were terrible, but it was so amusing and a good way to kill time - we had nothing better to do. My friend has one tape still which has this horrid and tedius remix we made of Prince's "Kiss". Good times.
I love the ease of making mixes now with mp3's, but I still miss making mix tapes. It was a complete pain in the ass getting them just right, you had to pause the record at just the right time or you'd wind up with an annoying bit of another song on there. Then you'd have to go back and try to erase that 1 or 2 second blip, then align the cassette just so and try again. But there was so much effort and thought involved. The reward was trading them with friends or family or having a really cool mix to put in your walkman or car.
Ah. Youth.
