Remember when mix tapes were the bomb?

Posted on by

Remember when making mix tapes was cool? Probably not if you’re one of my younger readers. And seemingly not too young either! CD’s were pretty damn popular just as I was in high school. The lovely 80′s! Anyways, on Google+, Zannah has asked about playlists and how we organize them. This got me to thinking how much making these “mix” type collections has changed! Seriously!

Nowadays, we all seem to lump songs by mood or by whatever kind of organizing system we might have. Do any of us even make mixes for people? I like to sort of think I still do. Really though I remember the last mix CD I made for someone. Of course it was for Meesh. I called it The Promise from the song by When in Rome of the same name. I love that song!

Anyways, I found it pretty interesting how people seem to put their playlists in such similar ways. Similar to Zannah, I have playlists based on just about everything. I still make “mix” type playlists. They can be about anything Really. That’s why they’re mix tapes, right? I also have playlists based on moods. I have playlists that are coupled together because of soundtracks too. I’m a big soundtrack collector. For instance, I have a Harry Potter playlist as well as a Lord of the Rings playlist. eg. Because I sort everything in my music list by album order, I won’t have all the LOTR in one place.

So, what kind of playlists do you have? Do share!

My soundtrack: Caught up in you…

Posted on by

I have to say that the first time I actually heard this song was probably back in 1984 or so. I hadn’t heard 38 Special’s Caught up in you back in 1982 when it first came out. I heard it when one of my friends gave me a copy of a mix tape he had made for his girlfriend. I have to admit, this song brings back memories of that time, when I was going to high school in New Jersey.

My friend, who had later moved up to New Jersey, had gave me that mix tape when he visited me from where he was living in Georgia. (Yeah, I moved around and lived everywhere in those days, we were a military family after all.)

I just loved this song. It just reminded me too of a girl I had a crush on. I remember it was a while before I got around to asking her out. I talked to her everyday, we were pretty decent friends, but it was one of those high school things. Of course, I think we went on one date and that was it. If that was even a date! LOL

Those teenage years, you have to wonder how those same people are doing now. Video after the bump.

Mystery song is revealed!

Posted on by

Some of you old time readers may remember I was looking for the identity of a certain song. Well today I have finally figured it out, because I saw the movie it was from today! Yes, the mystery song is from a movie in the 90′s, and it’s called Blast from the Past. For those of you who have not seen it, you should, it’s a very cute movie and I have to admit, I love the film because of Alicia Silverstone. Sure, Brendan Fraser helps, but I’m Really an Alicia fan myself. I mean one of my favorite movies is still Clueless. Totally!

The song itself is called the Adam and Eve Love Theme and it’s performed by Steve Dorf. Now I can finally sleep better at night knowing the identity of the song. Here it is again for those of you who might have missed it.

You won't like it when I'm hungry…

So anyways, once in a while I like to throw this one unknown song thing out there because someone might know what it is. It’s been on one of my mix tapes since the 90′s (more like the 80′s) and I just can’t remember where I got it. It Really frustrates me and makes me angry, because I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. So please if you recognize this song and know what it is, please please please let me know what it is.

As for the title of this post, if you saw the most recent Hulk movie with Ed Norton, you’ll understand.

[edit] thanks to ocb, I did try out Tunatic but it said song not found.

[edit2] if you wish, could you please spread the news? The more exposure I get for this, the better off we are. :D
