I love them!
I am not embarressed to admit that I used a tape walkman right up to 2 years ago when someone bought me an ipod (till then I was carrying round about 10 tapes in my bag!)
There is something comfortable and familiar about tapes, they are what I grew up with, my first ever album was on tape (Micheal Jackson- Bad) and I rememeber how excited I was when I got my first free tape with Smash Hits.
I made mix tapes (and recieved a few from boyfriends and friends) and I used to sit with my finger hovering over the record button, listening to the radio, wiating for my favorite song to come on.
I still have loads of old tape recordings of 90's pirate radio from my yoof, possibly even a few shout outs from me!
I know that people argue that the sound quality is bad, they had a tendency to get chewd up in the machine and there was the whole rewinding and fast-forwarding issue,
but Im a child of the 80's! how could I not love them?!
