Our My Little Ponies were the starring characters in a girl group, of course, and this was what we were recording. They all had different singing voices, despite there only being two of us.

My sister and I used to take a tape deck/radio into the bathroom (little background noise, interesting and echoey) and make not only mixtapes, but radio shows; recording the song and then recording our voices in between with the tinny little built-in mic.Alice Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14047729367247843563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-74520803822461860442010-09-25T13:06:01.725+12:002010-09-25T13:06:01.725+12:00Erin - Hahaha.

Do we have to take this outside?<br /><br />chris - Stupid iTunes. How can you possibly get the same sense of satisfaction? I resent iTunes for Genius, as well. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO LISTEN TO, ITUNES<br /><br />wupppy - OMG I never had one of those. I wanted one though. And yeah... one day our kids will be reminiscing about iPods. "Do you remember the Shuffle? How you couldn't even pick the song??"<br /><br />Beth - AHAHAHAHA. Awesome comment. I had a Vengaboys track that I sneezed in the middle of<br /><br />cesca - yes! I remember being extremely excited when I realised you could look up lyrics on the net. Because otherwise if you didn't buy the album you never knew. And sometimes the album didn't have the lyrics! That was the worst.IT IS ALLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854190246186613066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-24764507842416924592010-09-24T09:33:10.420+12:002010-09-24T09:33:10.420+12:00Ooooh yes, I totally relate. Another thing about ...Ooooh yes, I totally relate. Another thing about the "olden days" was trying to figure out the lyrics to songs. We'd sit there with our homemade mix tapes and plush PLAY, STOP, REWIND, over and over again, trying to figure out what the hell Nik Kershaw was saying in "The Riddle". (I only just figured it out last year when I discovered you could look it up on the internet.)Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799210795942423442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-57236702020940420602010-09-24T08:00:40.674+12:002010-09-24T08:00:40.674+12:00Or you'd be in the middle of recording a long ...Or you'd be in the middle of recording a long awaited song and your stupid brother would come in and yell "Supper's ready, Fathead!" and that would totally ruin it, because you'd have to listen to "Supper's ready, Fathead!" every time you played that song.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749292821490615259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-22376757439699482082010-09-23T20:33:40.343+12:002010-09-23T20:33:40.343+12:00I LOVE this post, I can so relate.

I would tune in to the last 90 minutes of the weekly popcharts and hit RECORD and after it was done, cut out the DJ chat stuff in between the songs. I would make my own index, I printed on my matrix printer to put in the cover. *sigh* What a shame our kids will never know what the hell we're talking about herewupppyhttp://sidetracked.wupppy.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12751012.post-11299691899281347082010-09-23T13:34:40.605+12:002010-09-23T13:34:40.605+12:00You know, i-Tunes even wants to design the cover o...You know, i-Tunes even wants to design the cover of your compilation for you now, complete with track listing?<br /><br />I spent hours, my god, HOURS.
