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?

Bit of a dull QOTW this one,it is most unsuccesful in alleviating my boredom but there you go.
On an almost related note I am currently listening to Savoy Truffle by The Beatles (White Album, Disc 2 track somethingorother)
I once made a tape of Green Day and Monty Python when I was 8 (quite possibly younger) for a long trip up to Scotland. I don't like Green Day anymore. Monty Python on the other hand generously supply great songs, "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" always makes me smile, which I think is the intention.
There was also a song about the penis ("The Penis Song" I believe it was called) I can still recite all the words to this day, it really did tickle me.
Since getting everything deleted from my computer on the weekend, my iTunes top 25 is mostly composed of The Stone Roses, The Cure, Radiohead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin. While this may appear a depressing list, they are mostly happy Beatles songs and Cure songs (Lovecats, and to a sadder extent Boys Dont Cry) though the Led Zeppelin ones are of the sad acoustic variety (not Stairway to Heaven surprisingly). Radiohead are, as always depressing, though listening to The Bends this morning, it's not all that sad an album.
So given that the music I listen to normally directly reflects my mood, we can deduce that this week I haven't been overly happy, but nor have I been sad. Actually, I've been fine, I just really like Radiohead.
Well I'm going to be dragged on holiday tommorow, which I doubt I'll enjoy, but I'll try. I imagine I'll listen to my iPod on the way down. There'll be no mix tape, which is kind of funny. I am by no means bountiful in years but already I can notice the effects of the developments in technology. Anyway this QOTW seemed really quite heartless so I thought I'd share, and what do I care anyway, I'll be absent for your flaming.
I'm going on holiday to the Lake District before you brand me some ungrateful twat. The fucking Lake District. The only souvenir I'll be bringing back is shit in the grips of my shoes.
See you in a week b3ta, good luck with the mix tapes.
