Today's Memory Tape is an ongoing tale of friendship and a love of music...
What's more, it comes all the way from Stockholm; from the keyboard of Nina Blom to be precise, who writes...
"This is my mixtape story and it is five years long and still going. In April 2005 four girlfriends invited me to join their group to do 'Record of the Month'. The way we do it is we choose three songs each that are our favourites that month and we put it together to a record, we also take turns doing the artwork.
"When it is complete we meet for a release party and listen to the record together, we also eat, drink and chat of course and it has been a great way of keeping in touch. This spring we celebrated our fifth anniversary with a party and we all had to select five songs from our records that were extra special to us, later in the night it turned into a game of randomly choosing a record and telling another person to play something from that record, as we have 5 years x 11 records/year x 15 songs, there are 825 songs to choose from!
"When we started doing this it was so perfect for me as I had lost touch with current pop music and this forced me to find new music to listen to, and during our years together I have found so much great new (and some old) music through my friends that I surely wouldn't have discovered otherwise."
You're right reader, that is a great idea!
So, this gives TeamLaverne five years worth of CDs to pick from. View all the tracks and the artwork from Nina & Co.
Make sure you tune in to the show on 6th August to hear which five tracks are selected.
