Pants

After that earlier post I went hunting for those 18th birthday tapes to see exactly what was on them and post the list on here. But I cannot find them. I thought I knew which box they were in, but again that box has gone.....

Instead I found some of the mix tapes I used to make, combinations of songs from the radio, other tapes and my parent's music. I present tapes 1, 5 and 9.

These are very very bad sometimes, I would apologise but I feel it wouldn't be quite enough.

(I was obviously having a Take That/Eagles moment on this one. Does having R.E.M. on there redeem it a little? or insult R.E.M.?)

Kate's Tape IX (no date)

Crazy For You - Let Loose
The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis & The News
Blame It On Me - D:REAM
Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel
Seven Seconds - Youssen D'our & Neneh Cherry

Someone To Love - Sean Maguire
Tell Her About It - Billy Joel
Some Girls - Ultimate Kaos
Strangest Party - INXS
She's Got That Vibe - R. Kelly
The Division Bell - Pink Floyd

(easiest the strangest combination of songs. I think the Let Loose and Michelle Gayle should be enough to date it, and where did the Pink Floyd come from?)

I would like to attempt to apologise for these after all. To my sister certainly, whose own taste in music is legendary (MUSE!!!!) and certainly to Mark, who is probably feeling very very frightened right now.

So here's a much better apology than I could ever muster.
