'The greatest act of love was to make a tape for someone.'
The Importance Of Music To Girls, Lavinia Greenlaw

No more tapes, what do the kids make for each other as tokens of love these days?

"can i buy you a drink?" things move so fast these days there isn't time to make tapes (or even mp3 playlists!)

Is it YouTube videos?

Rosie said...

CDs, in my case.

Welcome, Wee-h! Are you telling me that the kids don't spend hours creating the perfect playlist to woo their honeys anymore?

Patroclus - nooooo! Where is the effort, the skill, the hand-written cover?

Rosie - phew, romance is not dead.

They just leave obscene messages on their loved ones' grandfathers' answering machines.

I still make CDs. But now because the act of burning a CD is so much easier than exhaustively Record-Pausing a cassette, i spend ages decorating the CD covers in sparkly amazingness.

The real debate is, until you actually say the L word, can you include tracks with the L word in them..?
