MEMORY TAPES: 13TH AUGUST 2010

We're back on more familiar teritory with Memory Tapes this week. Last Friday it was all about groups of friends getting together to share music; this week we're back to boys falling in love with girls.

Sophia in Manchester writes...

"I'd love if you could play some tracks from this mix that a boyfriend made for me a few years ago. I moved back to the UK to go to Leeds Uni from the US where I had spent most of my formative years, as a consequence my musical knowledge was patchy, to put it nicely (I still thought Take That were cool, as when I left in 1997 they most certainly were).

"The boyfriend that I swifty acquired in my first year, Anton, was a bit of a musical boffin and introduced me to some really great music, and I introduced him to the Smashing Pumpkins, still one of my favourite bands. Although we're no longer together I've got to give him a lot credit for shaping my current music tastes, he knew his stuff! This particular CD, the second one he made for me, was for our 6 month anniversary.

"The track listing, which is a bit hard to read, is written on a Vanity Fair article about Lindsay Lohan, randomly. We both saw Neil Young at glasto last year, which was one of the highlights of 2009 for me, and this year I got to see Ray Davis, who was just fantastic, I know Anton would have loved it!"

The CD looks like this:
