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?

Sony C90s.Royal blue cassettes in a royal blue box.
How much of my childhood was spent dedicated to those things.
Anyways, I made one for my friend when I was around 12/13, who at the time (and up until I was about 17, although I still would) I had a mahusive crush on.
It sickens me what I thought would woo him back then;
1. Santana ft. Rob Thomas - Smooth [Admittedly, still a very sexy song]
2. Madonna - Music
3. Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400
4. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out?
5. Steps - Say You'll Be Mine
6. Bran Van 3000 - Drinking In L.A
7. Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back
8. S Club 7 - S Club Party
9. ATB - 9pm
10. Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl
11. Mel B - Word Up
12. Vengaboys - Sha La La La La
13. 5ive - Don't Wanna Let You Go
14. Eiffel 65 - Blue
15. Baz Luhrmann - Sunscreen
16. Wiseguys - Ooh La La
17. Britney - Lucky
18. Lolly - Mickey
19. Geri Halliwell - Look At Me
20. Backstreet Boys - Larger Than Life
21. Adam Rickitt - I Breathe Again [if that didn't give him the message...]
22. Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat
23. Basement Jaxx - Red Alert
Not particularly incriminating music tastes for someone of my age. Indeed some of these songs creep into my iTunes/DJ sets from time to time now (for nostalgic purposes mostly, but there are one or two quintessential GOOD TUNES in there).
However I sometimes wonder if it had all been different had I just put Savage Garden's 'I Want You' on repeat for 90 minutes.
If only...
P.S I'm not a bad person.
P.P.S Showing first real signs of length and girth. A talent for the future.

That's my early teens, right there.And I still love Savage Garden, much to the disgust of my other half. *click*

Sounds Like most of NOW 43...How I loved that CD,started me collecting them all till I realised they were shit, although they definitely tailed off after 50...

I collected the NOW! series as well...Somewhere around this house I have every one from 39 to 53.
Probably scratched to buggery but my word they were good compilations...

I don't want to appear a massive cunt or anything......but this is the mixtape equivalent of the ebola virus.
