Tapes and Tapes by .thatskarobot

January 15th, 2008 6:46 PM / Location: 37.935706,-121.6946

INSTRUCTIONS: Create media--like a mix tape--and then plant it somewhere for a stranger to find. See the Chicago Tapes Project.

I began the task by compiling a list of songs that, over the last 12 months, I either:
a.) Like alot.
b.) Have important memories attached to them.
c.) Lyrically, mean a lot to me.


Here is my original list:

Incubus - Southern Girl
Franz Ferdinand - Eleanor Put Your Boots On
Wolfmother - Joker And The Theif
We Are Scientists - Worth The Wait
The Suicide Machines - New Girl
The Used - I Caught Fire
Tupac - Me And My Girlfriend
The Streets - Fit But You Know It
Royal Crown Revue - Hey Pachuco!
Reel Big Fish - Beer
Rage Against The Machine - Pistolgrip Pump
The Postal Service - Nothing Better
The Plant Smashers - Police The Nation
Panda - Carry On
Modest Mouse - The View
The Ink Spots - My Prayer
Harvey Danger - Happiness Writes White
Five Iron Frenzy - My Evil Plan To Save The World
Bobby Darin - Artificial Flowers
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - You And Me And The Bottle Makes Three
Just Jack - No Time
Coheed And Cambria - Devil In Jersey City

I wish I could have fit I Want You (She's So Heavy) on there by The Beatles, but eh, I had to make sacrifices to fit these all on a cd. But I'm pretty lucky, 22 songs, 79 minutes, on an 80 minute cd.

Each CD has a paper in it's case, the front reads:






FREE MIX TAPE CD

FOR A STRANGER.


PLEASE TAKE ME AND LISTEN TO ME!


The inside reads:

Mix Tape For A Stranger.
I made this mix cd for you, whomever
you may be. I hope you enjoy it, as each
song on here means something to me,
whether it brings up a special memory,
the lyrics speak to me, or I just
plain enjoy it. I inquire you to please
contact me and tell me what you think
of the songs! You can contact me at:

I placed 4 cds throughout Brentwood.

One at a Starbucks.

One at a Willy's Bagel Shop

One at a Taco Bell.

And I gave one to a girl sitting outside of Liberty Highschool, never had seen her before, and will probably never see her again.


I am yet to get a response to any of the cds, though if I do i will most surely update this task with responses.
