Tapes n’ Tapes?
October 6, 2009
24 years old, about 30 lessons and 3 tests later I’ve finally been granted the legality to drive. So I went of and got meself a wee motor. Not surprisingly (actually screw that – who used cassettes in 2001?) the car has a tape deck instead of a CD player. Knowing this I brought the ONE tape I own for the road trip back from the dealers – a tape that Kowalski gave out at their gig a few months back – good stuff.

But seeing I havent bought a CD in easily a year (except for the odd local release), the tape deck has worked out rather well. After buying a really crap FM transmitter, I decided to go with the old fashion tape connector. In turn, the only problem I have is switching albums while driving. So for my first epic journey from Belfast to Donegal (epic in my world but already getting used to 3+ hours driving), I prepped the ol’ipod and spotify on my iphone.
I’ve never been one for shuffle, but for these long lone trips the ‘unknown’ every 3/4 minutes keeps me entertained. Suggest me tracks!
Here’s the playlist I made for my return trip to Belfast: Drive
Now, if only my left speaker would stop bloody distorting! Good times.
