MEMORY TAPES: 27TH JULY 2012
This weeks Memory Tape comes from listener Louise Norris and what a story she has for us...
“ I found my way to your 'memory tapes' purely by chance from somewhere else in cyber space - and after a couple of random clicks to see what great things other listeners had written about the wonder that is the mix tape, I happened across one sent in earlier this summer from none other than my first love - who I have not seen or heard from in years - ah, the memories - I could almost feel the weight of the eye liner descending onto my lids and I swear I caught a waft of Body Shop White Musk on the wind......”
“I couldn't let this happy discovery go unmarked and several hours of digging through boxes of history later, I found the first ever mix tape he made me in those first heady days of goth fuelled teenage love when we thought a certain Robert Smith may well have been the big fella himself, and we were pretty sure we were the bees (very black) knees - oh for the undoubting confidence of youth!”
“Thankfully my musical horizons have broadened somewhat during the intervening years, and I can now boast off-black and even grey amoungst my wardrobe, but I still get goose bumps and feel slightly homesick when I listen to this tape! Enjoy!”
