Mixed Tape Mondays

Music is the food for our souls, or something like that.  Shakespeare am I correct?

Anyhoo, I love mixing tapes (cd's actually, but tapes sound much better) When I was little I would always have mixed tapes in my walkman, with a big strip of masking tape splashed across the cassette with black marker stating the obvious which was always - Meg's Mixed Tape - followed with a drawing of a flower. It was my thing, sad I know, but it just doesn't seem as cool now that we have mp3's, cd players and all that jazz...

If I were to make a mixed tape now it would have the following spun onto its record, to show off my mood for the moment. I would want to listen to it just as I did as a little one - jeans on, long plait in my hair, sitting downstairs with my cat thinking I was a dreamer.  Hurrah to mixed tapes!
