MEMORY TAPES: 4TH NOVEMBER 2011
We're back to tales of love this week for Memory Tapes, as Hannah Austin explains...
"My memory tape is themed - it's called The Animal Mixtape - (A collection of songs inspired by various animals, great and small"). It was made for me by my girlfriend Nik about a year after we first got together.
We had the most grotesquely romantic honeymoon period when we first got together and must've swapped about 20 mix tapes in the first year, so we started to get a bit more creative with them after a while and do themed tapes.
We've had tonnes of ups and downs since then, have broken up, got back together, moved around etc, but now everything's going really well and we're moving in together in a month! Yay! So it would be really cool if you could play a couple of tracks to celebrate!
It gets a bit tenuous on Side B... Nick Drake? Olivia NEWTon John?! She works in Bristol Zoo now, so it was obviously good practice?!"
