Aww, I miss mixtapes! This one looks fab: a good eclectic selection to keep your ears guessing. I can still remember the track listings of my favourite mix tapes, compiled with such thought and love by the 'mixers'. I don't think that handing over a memory stick has the same heartfelt vibe about it, or am I just getting old? I don't know if you've heard it but Lauren Laverne has a feature about mixtapes on her programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/lauren_laverne/memorytapes_100129_helenmorris.shtml
Hi Yumptatious! I will have to check that out. A memory stick has no soul - and nowhere to stick groovy artwork. I bought 2 LPs and some EPs recently for old times sake even tho I don't own a record player any more!! This tape has a rather nice hiss in the background too. I have not joined the ipod generation yet. I like to take a cd apart and read the small print and hopefully the lyrics will be included too so I can sing along :)
"Mandy Prowse studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. She explores natural and human forms and the interconnectedness of all things. Themes in her work relate to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. Her altered books are minimalistic and organic combining a modern aesthetic with an almost Victorian touch. If you told me these books were 100 years old I wouldn’t think twice about it.”
