Yard Sale Mix Tapes

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure. But, sometimes, one man's treasure becomes the same man's trash. And, in rarer instances, that first man's trash can become another man's treasure.

The yard sale came first. Well... technically, the mix tapes came first, but the yard sale was where I came in. The yard sale where I stumbled upon a drawer full of an unknown person's mix tapes. "You can use them as blanks," I was told, "25 cents a piece."

But I didn't want to use them as blanks. I wanted to see what it would be like to know, literally, nothing about a person except for the mix tapes that they had, at one time, cared enough to make.

So, I have created a new blog where I will dissect a stranger's mix tapes, one tape at a time, track by track. I have no idea what I am in for. I am excited to hear.
