The Mix Tape Lives On

Sony may have shuttered production of their iconic Walkman, but the cassette is alive, well and as popular as ever in the form of a decorative motif, if not as a source of listening pleasure.

You missed perhaps the best one -- Target's cassette shower curtain! Just put this up in my bathroom last night. A great addition to the list.

Just heard about this on NPR. Always will love the mix tape. Can we ever imagine decorating with the ipod?

The wallet-thing in the second picture is cool.

An interesting question might be who still has their old mixtapes?

Let's start a campaign for a second printing of Kate Bingaman Burt's Mixtape Print.

Must. Have.

Love these! Many fond memories of road trips with my black Sony Walkman that my brother surprised me with for Christmas one year. Those were the days...

I still have my old mix tapes! Ah, the not so beneficial quirks of being a packrat...

oreillyink - I also have most of mine. Everytime I consider getting rid of one I remember the memory behind it (like the one my brother made me while I was in the hospital which was also the time he gave me his walkman which sadly I still have and oddly enough still works).
