Bring Back the Mixtape

Hey everyone,

The other day I was happily minded my own business on the 'good old' London transport and I got to thinking why don't we share anymore. I remember back in the days copying songs off the radio by pressing REC and PLAY together and doing the half pressed button thingy so the singer sounded like a Chipmunk. I also remember on those sunny days that stripe of brown tape would be blowing in the breeze and getting tingled in the trees or the quick repairs with clear sticky tape when the cassette tape broke lol. Ahh! Good times.
 

Remember these?

As cool as that was, I'm quite glad things have moved on, having some annoying DJ chatting over my tune gets on my nerves. However with everyone having their own MP3 player or Phone to play they music on sharing playlists and keeping that one sentimental physical thing 'from that special someone' or buddy doesn't really happen.

But look! With this beauty you can upload Spotify or YouTube  playlists on to blank 'Sharetapes', then hand them out to your mates, who scan the tape with a phone to listen. I like that its something you can keep, write a little title on it and make it personal to whoever or yourself. I'm loving the retro design and at the super cool price of £5 for five - this is so cool I had to write about. You can buy them here >>>http://www.sharetapes.com/

Please Note: I'm not getting paid for talking about this I'm purely doing because I think it cool.

What are your memories with the classic cassette? 

King me!

Hi Guys,

Brrr! it’s getting cold!

Remember in my last post I mentioned Amazon were having an amazing sale well look at these bad boys, ' A Game of Thrones: The Story Continues: A Song of Ice and Fire'. I’ve been wanting to read this for a while, I even refused to watch the show (now showing on Sky Atlantic) until I at last read the first book.

The delivery was super fast too :D

Yes I do realize how geeky I must seem lol, but seriously this was a bargain, normally this book set would be £39.99 but no way am I paying that much for a book! this was only £14.49 *yay!* bear in mind that there are five books in the box.

So pretty, so colorful, I'm so happy

Although someone did bring up a valid point 'why don't you just buy a Kindle?'...*kmt!!!*. They are absolutely right it would save space, (because book quickly grow from small pile to stack on the floor), paper and just general luggage in my bag! oh well, this doesn't take away the fact I am happy with what I have. Maybe after Christmas I’ll see what my finances are like and what not. 

So how about you, any books, TV series or movies that you would recommended?

Well better rap up this post Kyz is screaming to go for his walk, laters!
