Here's the linkIf it weren't for the mix-tape, where on earth would I have heard of half the bands I got into as a teen? So true. Gifting a mix-tape to a romantic other was a major symbolic act of commitment. Besides (B-sides?), making mix-tapes is hard work: timing it out, inserting breaks where needed, thematic and stylistic sequencing and so on.

Besides (B-sides?), making mix-tapes is hard work: timing it out, inserting breaks where needed, thematic and stylistic sequencing and so on. It was an art in and of itself. I still have a mix tape from high school my friend Dave made me, Punk Rock 101. Introduced me to The Vaselines and Naked Ray Gun.

I still have my collection of bar band tapes from back in the day. If it weren't for the cassette technology, I would have an empty box.

Is that the Sharks from eastern PA back in the day, Mary? Saw them at a club in Lancaster. Yes, that is the Sharks from the Lancaster area. That cassette was their prize for winning the MTV Basement Tapes contest one year in the 1980's. It might have been 1986, since the tape is copyright 1986. They received a one EP deal with Elektra/Asylum for five songs. The tape has the same five songs on both sides.

The news was first announced by TMZ, who reported that Steinman died Monday (April 19) in Connecticut, citing a report from the state's medical examiner. The cause of death was not listed. Steinman, who also was a recording artist, enjoyed his biggest successes as a songwriter and producer for others.
