I just had to see what all the fuss was about surrounding muxtape, the Web 2.0 version of the ol’ skool mix tape of songs that defined who we are that we used to record on the trusty boom box and give to our girlfriends as a sign that says “Hey! Listen to this! I’m a blabbermouth when I’m around you, so I hope you know how I feel about you through these mushy love songs I’ve recorded from the radio because I can’t afford that $8.50 cassette tape of R.E.O Speedwagon that I know you love so much that I want to buy for you but can’t because I only have enough money for my bus ride home, but with this mix tape recorded on the best quality TDK tape from Japan, it’s just as good as the original. I love you! XXX!!”.
(was that a long sentence or what??)
Anyways, muxtape is a pretty cool way to share music online and I’m gonna use it to showcase the rubbish earworm that invade my thoughts sometimes, and what better way to kick things off than with probably the greatest 70s pop quartet evar …. ABBA! Dancing Queen is such a classic with it’s arrangement, music and lyrics combining into a catchy tune that’s almost as perfect a song as you’ll ever hear.
My muxtape is here! Now, you can dance, you can jive and have the time of your lives ….. oooooo …..

It was my dad who started me off on this mixtape thing. Ya, back then copyright, DRM and what not was non-existent, so just give the aunty at the casette shop a list of songs, pick out the quality and length of the blank tape and viola! You got yourself a compilation album.

TDK is da bomb! Record people's conversations eh? Macam spy liddat. Too bad those days no podcast. It'll be interesting to record our conversations and let the world hear them.
