I've been pointed in the direction of a pretty ace website where you can compile an online mixtape, as well as listen to the rest of the world's attempts. Having nothing but beautiful memories of the hours and hours I used to spend making tapes for people who could never listen to them with the same level of intensity that went into their making, arranging and rearranging running orders and thinking of suitably witty LP titles, as well as the equally genuine pleasure I derived from learning of new music via the reciprocal tapes of friends and messageboard randoms - my first horizon-shredding listens to Godspeed and Pavement were from mix tapes sent by internet proxy-friends when I was 16 - I couldn't resist. You'll notice I still haven't lost the knack of the witty title.
