Mix Tapes
Everyone'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?

iTunes 1987
True story of a geeky poly student way back when.
Tune into the Annie Nightingale Show R1 late on a Sunday night. Press Record and hit the pause button. First tune comes on, release pause button. Wait for song to finish and repeat. If necessary rewind to cover any jingles etc.
Repeat this for as many weeks as it takes to fill up a C90 both sides. Usually a term or so. Mark it with an obscure title but make sure your name is on it.
End of term house party, stick on tape plugged into 100 watt guitar amp as soon as the pubs kick out.
Sit back and bask in swooning admiration when all agree that you have created quite possibly the best party mix tape that anyone has every heard (despite not knowing the titles of at least half of the tracks). Use this gain in popularity to great advantage for rest of night/term.
Repeat every term for a couple of years.
(Don't what ever you do let on that the only records you actually own are the "White Album", "Rainbow Bridge" and "Champions Again" by The Black Dyke Mills band)
