Taped up...
Tonight's programme will be on tape. I should clarify that by saying tonight's show will be on the subject of 'tapes' as opposed to the show being on tape and me being in the pub. There have been lots of good suggestions and some great stories already suggested.
Regular blogger Norrie has emailed in with his mixtape (see above) and some good advice for anyone who is fan of old fashioned mixtapes:
"I absolutely loved mix tapes." Says Norrie. "I started off recording some of the chart hits off the radio and progressed to full themed tapes (side a West, side b East, Dusk, Dawn etc etc). We had quite a swap club going and in the days before the internet and 24hr music TV this was a great way of getting into new music and new artists.
"I still make up compilation CD's for people with the aim of them getting into the music and seeking those artists out. There are several web based groups where you can be sent a "mix tape" every month and you sent out one - can be to anywhere in the globe."

Unfortunately, 1 got shredded in one of my cassette players, but the other 2 are still going strong. There was a wonderful mix of unknown American bands & artists (Dennis Lambert, Mandy Moore, Diane Davidson, FFZ, Gorgoni Martin & Taylor) and major stars of the time such as Cat Stevens, The Strawbs, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Lindisfarne, David Bowie, Neil Young, Elton John, Harry Chapin & many more. This was brilliant radio, and I don't think Noel bettered this, even on his Breakfast Show. However, if I have to pick one track to ask for this evening, it would be The Pie by the Sutherland Brothers, a much under-rated Scottish band headed by Iain & Gavin Sutherland. Finally, I am still trying to source some of the albums played on these shows so if the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ has any lying around in their vaults and is looking to create some space............

I used to put 2 songs by the same artist in a row to give my friends a better feel for what I was trying to force them to like.

Missed the show last night and no playlist up yet but listening again to see if The Pie got played. Sutherland's best song by a country mile and have tried to get it on before. Hope you were lucky

Good handwriting too - you obviously didn't have the same kind of debilitating Comprehensive education the rest of us endured.
