[Nostalgia] The Best of 1991-92

Inspired by a friend's discovery of an old mixtape, i dug out my shoebox full of old cassettes (which i refuse to get rid of even though i no longer own a tape deck (except for my old, dead Walkman which i also refuse to get rid of)) looking for a particular artifact from my youth. I found it:



Note that this isn't necessarily the *best* of 1991-92, but rather the best songs i managed to tape from the radio. Which is what we had to do back in the old days before the internet or digital music existed. (And yes, i did walk to school barefoot through three feet of snow uphill both ways.) It wasn't easy - queuing up the right spot on your blank, listening intently, ready to hit the record button at just the right instant. For a while i was obsessed with getting "clean" recordings, i.e. without the DJ talking over the intro, but that was just about impossible. Anyway.
