It's begun

Finally, finally after much wait the first tapes are out there. They follow three fine themes:

TAPE 1 - OPEN THEME

This needs no explanation, it is the mixed bag of compilations. Mints, jubes, licorice - it's all a matter of taste, right?

TAPE 2 - WINTERSONGS

For the songs that you can't get out of your head this winter, listened to endlessly on repeat over the hum of a fan-forced heater. For songs that remind you of July, through mention of snow or chill or cold-blooded killers. Songs for listening to indoors, with windows shut and the volume turned up. But please - no Frosty The Snowman.

TAPE 3 - 1997

The year the Spice Girls numbed the minds of primary school girls world-wide. Also the year of The Titanic, The Castle, Stuart Diver and Tony Blair. Princess Diana passed away and left us to contend with Elton John's Candle In The Wind. But lots of good things happened, too. See Michelle's list below.

(ps, I did know every word of Wannabe. Even the faux-rap section.)
