I made my
first mix tapes almost 40 years ago. As a
child, I'd sit hunched over a clunky mono
cassette recorder, fingers poised over the REC button, waiting
for favorite songs to come over the alarm
clock radio in my bedroom, sitting silent
and still because it was recording over the
air from speaker to built-in microphone, no
way to jack them together for internal
connection, shushing anyone foolish enough
to make a sound during this sensitive
process. My technology has improved somewhat
though I still manage to get the levels
wrong at times. Forgive me! Today I had the
luxury of spending the day at home,
cleaning, organizing fasteners (hence the
tape's title), and trolling through my
records, some of which have been appearing
on mixes since the '80s. (I still milk that
Let Them Eat Jellybeans! compilation
especially hard--which is why it's pictured
three times here.) I'm on a cassette kick
lately because I have wheels with a tape
deck for the first time in 20 years. Let the
good times roll!
