Mix TapesEveryone's made a mix tape (or CD, USB stick, or whatever kids do these days). Mostly to get in someone else's pants, but we're sure there are other, lesser, reasons too.
So, who did you make it for and why?
And... what was on it?

Not really a mix tape...But when i first started Uni i had real trouble getting up in the mornings for lectures (something to do with the endless drinking and partying no doubt)
To counteract this i recorded my mum yelling at me to get up in the morning and set my stereo as my alarm, you know the usual "GET OUT OF BED YOU LAZY FUCKER! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE AGAIN!!!"
This was followed by the classic 'Philadelphia' by Bruce Springsteen, just to bring me back off the ceiling after the harsh wake up...
Every time i hear the drums at the beginning of that song i get flashbacks...
Still got the tape now, I use it to annoy my housemate in the early mornings if he's kept me up late...
Length? About 10 minutes in total...

Ha ha!I like that image.
I used my phone as an alarm clock for ages, literally the whole year-plus I had it (wasn't fussed about replacing it as it was really great - Sony Ericsson T68i, for reference).
Anyway, when the alarm went off it used to make a little 'pip pip' noise, then play whatever tune I had set.
Eventually, like Pavlov's dogs, I had conditioned myself to such a degree that if I heard that sound out of context I'd feel like I'd *just* woken up - really groggy and disoriented. Only for a second, but it was the weirdest thing.
