Cassettttttttttes.

Maybe you didn't know, but we're pretty mixtape crazy around here. Here's a quick tribute to the actual medium: the cassette.
Mix CDs are pretty fun, but how awesome does it feel when you make a mixtape with so many perfect songs on each side that you don't even have to rewind or fast-forward it? Even if you do have to rewind or fast-forward, I think the wait probably makes the good songs sound even better.
Let's not kid ourselves, one of the best feelings in the world is when you'd wait around all day with your finger on the record button, and finally the song that you wanted would come on the radio, and you'd barely even get the DJ's voice on the song at all, so it sounded pretty much perfect. Oh, man.

Here's to you, cassettes.

p.s. You know what used to be totally amazing? When you would take an old cassette that was totally horrible, like maybe the second Kris Kross album or something, and you'd put scotch tape over the top of it, and you'd have yourself a blank tape that you could record over. You can't do that with your used CDs (I don't think).
