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?

DJ tapesI must be 100, because when we made mix tapes we didn't have two tape players attached to one another - you had to play one, and press record on the other one and pause just at the right time.
I remember being quite awestruck when I was told "BE QUIET! Your sister is recording".
But the ultimate age for mixtapes was about 9, when the world is impossibly exciting and hilarious.
My friend and I would tape songs from the radio and have a short DJ-style chat between each one.
The only one I remember is when my friend Richard said "Coming up...Harold Faltermeyer's Axel F. But first, I have a problem. I want to be a policeman but I don't have a hat"
"No problem" I said, "Just paint that tit on your head blue".
This made us laugh til our stomachs hurt.

Ha!I remember holding my cassette recorder to the speaker of the TV to record Top of The Pops, usually with my Dad's voice appearing in the middle saying "What's that awful noise!"

OMG!I remember taping top of the pops. You begged and pleaded with the whole family to keep quiet and hoped the phone didn't ring.
