I have been making cassette mix tapes since 1999. Silly as it may seem I still prefer them to CD mixes (which can only be up to 80 minutes long and lack the longevity of a cassette) and MP3 playlists (which lack permanence). They become little time capsules, letting me remember times in my life.

My mix tapes often cover different themes as well; my tape called "Dreamweaver" is all songs having to do with dreams, "Foreversummer" is songs that remind me of the summer, "Afterlife" is all songs having to do with death, "Naqoyqatsi: Life as War" has to do with the topic of war, and so on. I have tapes for relaxation, tapes for dark moods, or for genres like industrial, metal, 80's pop and even jazz. Just let me know what sort of playlist you want, and I'll tell you the songs and you can track them down and make your own playlist or mix! Who knows, you might find some songs you never heard before and like them. My musical tastes are a bit...out of the ordinary, after all.
