I turned 21 on wednesday
Given my age, I am probably one of the last generation that grew up thinking you had to pay for music. As you can Imagine being a slightly, well OK very brassic teenager at the turn of the millennium the excitement of being able to make your own CD's.

The few of us that had working computers, copied CD's in return for copies of their own albums. I estimate that just six CD's were brought in a year by my entire class at school, yet everyone had a copy.

With iPods just a internet rumor at this point, the idea of a mix of music was a waste of impossibly expensive CD-R's.

That didn't stop my brother, being a few years younger from creating the 'greatest mix album ever': Nursery crimes, corrupter's of young minds* . A Whole weekend spent with his mates spent creating a CD that was half sum41 and half limp bizkit, (TAKE THAT SOCIETY! YEAH!). Hours were spent burning this on a 4x speed drive.

Getting his new pride and joy he now proceeded to decorate the CD. The only problem was that felt tips wouldn't write on a CD, solution?

Carve the title on the face of the cd with a gell pen.

It didn't play, but he showed me the lyric notes he printed off and assured me that I would of liked it if i could hear it.

*yes that was the title he gave it.
