Remember way back when you'd create a mix tape? A mix cd?
*BTW, what would it be now? More on that later.
Well, I found mine. all of them from college. Some survived, some are a wee bit scratched. Turns out cleaning out a car does have some positives.
It seems, mine are divided by theme:
- Sappy (for breakups, love stories etc)
- Getting read to go out. (Apparently when you pregame, it's critical you have the right music going)
- Car trips (both my roommates dated guys that lived out of state, so I'd go along for the ride and hang out. It's critical that once you enter another state, you don't need to search for songs).
- Gifts to the significant other/roomie
What I've learned from mine:
- I really liked Ben Harper and John Mayer's sappy songs
- You could never have a mix tape without Dave
- Apparently you can make a song better by making a techno version of it
- Of the top songs listed on Billboard 80%+ made it in my cds.
