Ahh, all you sweet summer children and your fancy CD burners and MP3 players.....
I remember the OG "mixtapes". Sitting on our bedroom floors for hours with a 9V 6 transistor radio and listening to the local rock and roll station hoping to hear your favorite group's new song being announced by the DJ so you could press the play and record buttons on that cheap portable cassette player to record the latest songs. All just so you could have a shitty mono recording to listen to.
If your Girlfriend gave you a tape filled with all her favorite music, it was like both of you were half ways down the aisle and headed for marriage. It was that serious.
I remember me as a child recording my own radio shows, with me doing all the announcements, reading articles from magazines or just talking nonsense and then recording music from the radio for the music in between. Good times.
Did you have that multicolor kid's radio with an attached microphone? Remember those being very popular.
Oh my god yes, that's exactly the one I had as a kid!
