i began making these "life's soundtrack" tapes years ago as a means to encapsulate a moment in my life with music, like the music to some John Hughes films - indelibly linked to the images and memories of a film. Recently i came across a DVD extra - Cameron Crowe on Almost Famous and the music, and how it is culled from his own life - he mentions that his diary or journal are simply mixed tapes he had made through the years, all approriately dated and labeled, which mine, of course, are not. But what a cool idea. i wish i had been as dedicated and organised about the idea as he was... As it is, i only ever completed a few that were ever labeled as such. The others were lost in unlabeled tape hell.
