Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 If you hate cassette tapes, move along I'm sure someone here has tried this before. but I thought I'd give it a shot. Over the past week I've been making mixtapes. I posted about them on instagram to see if anyone was even interested in this, and gave away a few for free. I saved 3 tapes for the purpose of exchanging them with people on here. So, who wants to a tape? All you have to do is send me one in return. As far as the music goes, it's all shitty sad bastard music. alone in your room drinking liquor spiked with tears music. I designed the inserts. the photo is of my great grandfather and his best friend. NO VC hype bands, just a bunch of random stuff I've found on bandcamp and really enjoyed. This may fail miserably, and if it does I'll just give away the remaining 3 tapes to whoever wants them. love ya'll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Shit...VFTF Records 001 could be Ebay gold in 10 years. No tapes, no way to play/record them, so I'm out. Cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This just reminds me even more that i need a working tape player. As soon as I do get one, I'll be down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've got a bunch of extra covers printed off. I can make more tapes if I need to! I'll pm everyone who's showed interest sometime this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I just posted about this somewhere else tonight. I wish I had the equipment to make this happen. I have a bunch of tapes I found earlier and don't know what to do with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 If this goes over well I'd do a volume 2... hopefully we can get a whole pen-pal mix tape thing going. also I forgot to mention each tape comes with a drunk note written by yours truly.

popscratch Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Completely serious question: how does one actually make a mix tape? I remember I used to record stuff off the radio on tape, but I have no idea how to put your own music on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Grab a $20 tape deck from Goodwill, get some tapes, hook up an audio source (receiver line out, laptop, ipod, etc.) and start recording tunes. Then make the packaging and you are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 No way. Get this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Talkboy-1993-from-the-movie-Home-Alone-/281072549234?pt=TV_Movie_Character_Toys_US&hash=item41713abd72 Play your ipod. Put it in front of the speaker. Press record. Then as a bonus, use it to pull crazy shenanigans on criminals that try and break into your house. robotfactory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
