my first mixtape was from a girl i really liked. she gave me it on new years eve 05/06, then we held hands and i spent the next day listening to it. i made her one, and no other mix making experience to date has topped it.
your turn! i will also allow cds and other mixes that have a good story.
i used to make mixtapes for myself to listen to on my portable cassette player,
nobody's ever made me one.
same goes for mixed cds.
lulz
you post very tragic things sometimes
it's true though.
no indie boys in newcastle??
just the toon army?
no indie boiz that have ever taken an interest in me,
well, where i live there aren't any anyway.
: (((((
maybe they haven't noticed
that you look a bit like alice glass??
even they noticed,
crystal castles wouldn't be the best starting point for conversation. i've never had a conversation with anyone irl about sonic youth, or riot grrrl, or anything else that i listen to. but i know that i wouldn't be good at it.
they're probably scared off
by your horrendous depressing personality
^5
i'm not the only one who hates myself y'know, this isn't a persona. feel free to join the 'i hate georgiabeth' club. we always welcome new members.
my chemical romance shaved my wife!
:D
I'M REALLY EMO, AREN'T I?
yes?
:'(
i'm so emo i'm watching big brother right now.
that's nothing
I'm playing WoW. You are but a blip on the lameness radar.
but i have no friends, don't socialise
and spend most of my time organising things!
is that emo?
plz don't be joking about warcraft
i'm not
level 70 is within my grasp
srsly??
how long did that take? my friend at uni apparently sacrifaced a year of going out to "raid"
a few months
that's sick. really gross. even i won't do that when i'm 70
is raiding frowned upon?
he couldn't go out cos he'd let his WoW crew down!!!
raiding's fun
but it'd be fucking draining to do it every night. they take at least four hours!
that needs to be rectified.
:(
:(
i could perhaps make you one
my mix skills have probably come on a fair bit since i made the aforementioned tape. there's sometimes a DiS mixtape swap too, one is probably due soon.
my girlfriend made me my first one
and i make them for her all the time. incidentally, i instigated conversation with her at school 4 years ago by copying fever to tell, the master ep and the machine ep to a cd and giving it to her. that's like a mixtape
it's pretty much
the best approach to wooing. nice work.
when i was 14 a boy made me a mixtape
and then asked me out and i said yes. i remember it having Mclusky, Sonic Youth, and the Fall maybe.
i think
i recorded the chart on the radio, then re-recorded my favourite songs (double tape deck ftw) on another tape with my radio DJ presenting between the songs. Contained "Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)" by the Outhere Brothers
<3
I think I actually have that on tape/single somewhere. (Not you doing the DJ presenting, but that outhere brothers track.)
:D
home made radio shows were amazzzing.
^this pretty much
it was proper awesome, my first 'serious' mix cd I made for a friend as my attempt at describing what music I was into failed pretty hard when they didn't recognise any of the bands I was talking about, so i thought rather than use my poor vocabularly to describe them I'd just make a mix cd.
I think mine was for one of my friends
and it was a compilation of most of the fatwreck/epitaph bands that were around at the time.
I can't remember the first one I received...I think it was a load of comedy songs someone in my IT class had burnt to disc and handed out. Not very romantic.
Nearly all the mixes I've received since then have actually been from the DiS mixtape swaps, so thanks people!
I made quite a few for my ex.
The first mixtape I ever received from a would be suitor
had JJ72 on it.
I didn't like them then, and I still don't now.
you want this

tis good
tis alright
well
it's not THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD EVER OMG!!11!!!1
but it's quite good - better than alright
not enough music though p'raps
Mixtapes are rad
The last one I made I was really proud of (and was pretty well-recieved too)- lots of great shouty pop songs for the girl who most of the recent events of my life have revolved in some way around. I always like doing hand-drawn artwork for them too... mixtapes are fun. I need something to do this evening beyond writing a review of the Harvey Milk album, anyone want one?
yes!
Will do!
woohoo
he's not gonna put any avril lavigne on it
itll be rubbish
will you make me a mixtape with avril lavigne on it
I don't own any Avril Lavigne
so I guess not, no.
wouldnt it shatter yr veneer of indie cool
if you admitted you liked avril lavigne
i don't like Avril Lavigne, but
i thought she was hilarious when she came out and dressed up as her for school one day to be funny but i backfired. Everyone was like "you suit that look, you should wear ties and carry a skateboard more often," and people still think i was an Avril obsessive.
it*
people just dont get it sometimes, huh
:(
I bet you make wicked tapes
I'm not hot enough to warrent one mind hehehe.
Make one for someone prettyer.
SWAC x
Haha, thanks
<3
<3
haha
my first mix tape
was no doubt made when I was very very young. I use to record songs off the radio and then get a lil microphone and speak shit inbetween like it was an acctual radio show but for toddlers, then record another tune off the radio. I was very young indeed...
I did this too!
I made up wee news stories as well.
Then I'd sit and listen to it, ha ha.
hahah
I wish I still had them :(
no idea what happend to the recordings I probibly just went over them again and again. But I remember doing them vidly :)
I think I just had one or two tapes, so recorded over them repeatedly
until they was knackered.
I also remember recording myself reading my books aloud and then listening to them.
awww
hehe them were the days...
I've never been given a mix tape!
Or a mix CD. :(
this also needs rectifying.
someone sort this out
good golly
I can send you digital ones right now. Or pm me your adress hehehe
never had one, never made one
but I'm not a girl so I doubt anyone will want to rectify me.
that's where you're wrong my friend
so very wrong.
*leers*
you and dark_truffles
should hook up
no thanks
I don't remember.
Something shit from a friend; that's what almost all mixtapes I've ever received have been. I've never received one in a romantic way. And I've never recieved one that I've really, really loved, though I did get a good mp3-only mixtape from a DiSer once, and a hard copy one from a DiSer once that I just unpacked the other day and am quite fond of, even though I don't really, really love all the music on it.
My friend made me a mixtape when I was about 10
that I used to play in my Aunt's car. She still has it.
Her favourite song was "Love to hate you" by Erasure which cut out after about 2 mins...
That's my aunt's musical education right there.
i've never got a properly romantic one
but I got quite a flirty one last month from someone really nice (before we went on a date).
sadly, a mixtape full of shared old memories would have pretty cheesy/joke music like cliff richard, elton john, and cheap trick (the last two are awesome)
I did a Jimi Hendrix
mixtape swap in primary school too.
I got a great one recently!
It introduced me to Turbonegro and made me fancy it's creator that little bit more!
The last one I made had some dark themes on it but also featured a track called 'Brilliantly Cute' which is not only ace but also a title fitting of it's recipient! :)
woo hoo
let's hear it for Norweigian cock rock! Gets 'em every time!
:D
I'm a sucker for cock rock!
that was intentional, right?
actually no!
but LOL anyway! :D
I'd made
three or four for girls I've fancied in the past, of which I think two made their way to their intended recipients. Neither came to anything, and infact one stood me up for a 'date' :(
BUT! My now-girlfriend made me one as part of my 18th birthday present. We're in love now :)
