MEMORY TAPES: 20TH JANUARY 2012

It's another Memory Tapes; and it's another tale of love. We really should rename this feature Love Tapes or something.

This particular story comes from Jenny Strickson, who writes...

""My memory tape was put together by my boyfriend; we met on the internet (on a design forum) and talked every day online for 6 months before eventually plucking up the courage to meet each other.

"We have both been through some difficult times in the past and he helped me overcome personal obstacles in my life. The tracks on the mixtape reflect this starting with a darker melancholy TV on the Radio, through to the happy optimism of M83.

"The tape completely confirmed my feelings for him and paved the way for our relationship, the tape speaks for our longing to meet each other and the relationship we were already building on.

"We've now been together over 3 years, we have a house together, 2 cats and we're talking about marriage and children."
