I had a two deck tape recorder, so I'd record a whole hour of airplay, listen for songs I wanted that the DJ didn't talk over the intro or outro, and then put those on a second tape. A good day was two good songs played back to back without DJ banter to add to the mix.

To this day if I don't hear Closing Time after What I Got, I feel a weird anxious discomfort, like when you hear We Will Rock You without We Are the Champions. All because of a mix tape I listened to over and over again. Same with Flagpole Sitta and Keep Em Separated.

Just gotta ripoff 11 free CDs or cassettes from Columbia House or BMG Music. Might feel bad except their entire business model was based around ripping others off.
