Not too long ago I was packing up my stuff at my old roomates place to move it over to the new apartment and I came across my box of tapes. Cassettes if you will. I no longer own a stereo, and my old walkman (a Sony Sportsman that I bought with lawn-mowing money when I was 12 or 13) is buried away in a box somewhere, but I do have a fully functional tapedeck in my '89 Buick.
Lo and behold, one of the tapes was the single best mixed tape I've ever made. It was made specifically for listening to while playing NHL '95 on my Super Nintendo (the last EA Sports NHL game with the Nordiques, Whalers and Cam Neely) and it consisted entirely of punk/pop- MxPx, Blink182, Less Than Jake and Valu-Pac.
Unfortunately the tape was so old and worn out that it severed halfway through the frist side the first time I popped it into the tapedeck. So much for that.
Tapes remaining in my glove box include:
Rose Blossom Punch- Ephemere
Spooky Tuesday
Mike Knott- Strip Cycle
Mike Knott- Fluid
poor old lu- Pictures of the Eighth Wonder
Hocus Pick- Bookaboom (still a great tape)
MxPx- On The Cover (which includes the best cover ever of "Summer of '69")
Maritime Drinking Tunes (made by my brother upwards of seven years ago)
can you tell me what the songs are on your Hocus Pick tape "bookaboom"? I loved that tape when I was younger but can't seem to even find ANY discs oftheirs! They've practically dropped off the face of the earth!

I wish I'd known you still have a tape player. I threw away all my '80s cassettes about six weeks ago. It was painful.
