Mix Tape: "A mixtape is a compilation of songs and or tracks (typically copyrighted music taken from other sources) recorded in a specific order, traditionally onto a compact audio cassette.…
A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favorite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Essayist Geoffrey O'Brien has called the personal mixtape "the most widely practiced American art form".…
Homemade mixtapes became common in the 1980s.… The growth of the mixtape was also encouraged by improved quality and increased popularity of audio cassette players in car entertainment systems, and by the introduction of the Sony Walkman around 1979."
Here's the contest specs:
What is Love? Great minds have been grappling with this question through the ages, and in the modern era, they have come up with many different answers. According to the Western Philosopher Pat Benatar, love is a battlefield. Her paisan Frank Sinatra would add the corollary that love is a tender trap. The stoner kids who spent the summer of 1978 looking cool on the hoods of their Trans Ams in the Pierce Elementary School parking lot used to scare us little kids by blasting the Sweet hit "Love Is Like Oxygen"—you get too much, you get too high, not enough and you're gonna die. Love hurts. Love stinks. Love bites, love bleeds, love is the drug. The troubadours of our times all agree: They want to know what love is, and they want you to show them.
But the answer is simple, love is a mix tape.
Speaking of the mix tape, what’s on Sonic Youth’s road tape?
Flipper. Flipper still rules. Montrose. Sparks—like, pre-Georgio Moroder Sparks. But some of that’s on there. Bar-Kays. You know, that kind of stuff. The new CD-Rs from (former Hardkiss vanity label) Sunburn, we’ve been listening to those a lot, they’re really good.
What To Expect From A Homemade Cassette
It could be something that will pop in and totally blow you away. You could be so lucky. Lots of possibilities: garage sessions of your kid sister's band, or someone in a fancy home lab mixing incredible feats of science, or a pioneer of popular music, soothing meditation, or difficult industrial noise. There are tickets to many sonic environments.
