Jason B is up next - cassette from my ex

what is the #1 song for a mix tape
and what is #1 mix tape title
  11:02am
SueB:

oh the mix tape odd-song endings. bringing me back.... i know a girl who still tapes songs off the radio.
  11:09am
SueB:

is this the same guy who got a ride from the airport and scared the shit out of his driver?
  11:12am
Cecile:

I liked mixtapes because it was so fun to decorate all the j-cards.

Do the cassettes have to be from exes? I have nice ones that I traded with an Internet that were thematic and really nicely put together. We'd have a theme, and do proper artwork, and go to town.
  11:12am
Cecile:

Internet friend...
  11:13am
Sara:

Why keep them? Why keep them?? That's like asking why anyone would keep a love letter. That's basically what they are, right — audio love letters using other people's words. Love the site by the way! I was listening through it last week, really looking forward to what pops up next
  11:15am
north guinea hills:

i made my girlfriend a mix tape when we first met. i even provided a walkman so she could listen to it. we're moving in together at the end of the summer. it must have worked.
  11:16am
Cecile:

Reader, I married him.

;D
  11:16am
dc pat:

#1 song for a mix tape: Why by the Dirty Wurds.
  11:16am
Cecile:

that's a comment to NGH. I did not marry my Internet friend, just in case you care.
  11:19am
SueB:

#1 name for mix tape: MIX TAPE
  11:22am
jonathan:

i'm pretty sure that every mix tape i received and gave had "please, please, please, let me get what i want" as the last song.
  11:25am
dc pat:

If I remember correctly, London's Burning popped up a lot
  11:27am
north guinea hills:

when you can mix some stockhausen scratchings. w/ some sun ra & afro pop, birdsongs, and mojave 3, and she's impressed, you know you're onto something
  11:27am
Bad Ronald:

Buzzcocks "What Do I Get"
  11:28am
BW:

What do I get! I wish I had used that one
  11:31am

Zappa's "Broken Hearts are for Assholes" - a little filthy but but also a good one.

  11:34am
Cecile:

NGH: Moussa is teh greatest! Best scream in funk.
  11:35am
gerardo:

let's c...

"#1 song for a mix tape": anything by The Beatles

  11:44am
Bad Ronald:

Yes congrats Benjamen! Excellent show. However, I beg to differ - Never too early for Punk! Keep up the great work. - thanks!
  11:45am
north guinea hills:

  11:46am
Cecile:

Punk - it's what's for breakfast.
  11:47am
Bad Ronald:

RIGHT!!!
  11:47am
north guinea hills:

cecile, well, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, i should do it more often. punk, sounds tastier then the beer i had this morning.
  11:49am
Bad Ronald:

NGH - They go hand in hand!
  11:50am
Cecile:

As the Clash sang: "speckless, drinking brew for breakfast"
  11:50am
north guinea hills:

  11:51am
Bad Ronald:

"Rudy Can't Fail"
  11:52am
swami:

"feckless"?
  11:53am
R.P.:

Three hours sleep? Now I feel better about the four I got. But it was worth it to see Thalia Zedek and Major Stars last night.
  11:53am
Bad Ronald:

per dictionary.com -
having no sense of responsibility; indifferent; lazy.
  11:56am
Bad Ronald:

the Clash lyric reads:
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail
  11:58am
BW:
