Ah, the homemade compilation tape. Beloved of 'High Fidelity' Man, and a pretty appealing way for the rest of us to pass a couple of hours too. I've just put together my first mix tape in ages, as a present for my friend Baadad, promised to him yonks ago.
You can of course fill a C90 with your latest discoveries, but more of a challenge is to run with a theme - colours, place names, songs with 'baby' in the title... This one is called 'Ladies Night', and it's busting out all over. It's had me going through my CDs, and rummaging through crates of old cassettes, searching for long-lost...tit-bits ;)
The finished article has Kirsty MacColl getting down with Monie Love and The Ronettes, Kylie and Betty Boo next to one hit wonders Girl Thing; Dot Allison, Alison Moyet, Alison Krauss, Doris Day, Aimee Mann, and Aretha. Shelby Lynne and Caitlin Cary come close to keeping up with country godmother Emmylou Harris, and Shampoo get into Trouble. Uh-oh...
