Mixtape I Made At A Radio Station

[kalloway]

circa 2001. I don't know how many of these survived, but when I had time, I'd make tapes from the station's CDs on their pre-recording equipment. (I mean, I did my work, too!) Since I was using professional equipment, the transitions are seamless and a little too good. I put it in my little player, hit play, sat down, and had forgotten it was a cassette within three songs. ^^;;

(I'm not sure whether or not to be impressed that at least a couple of my picks at the time are still radio staples.)

Doofy angles to hide the station's callsign.

Thank you! Looking at it with 2024-eyes, I was a little unsure how it would flow but it works surprisingly well.

It was a lot of fun! I have some genuinely good memories of my time flitting about The Music Industry but ultimately it was a really poor fit in so many ways and parting from it was for the best.
