Mega Mix | Analog Musings

Mega Mix is the title I gave to this particular mixtape, which is made up of songs that reflect my unique musical preferences at the time. These old mixtapes bring back nostalgic memories of my younger days and the excitement of musical discovery.

As was typical, only Side A contained a mix of songs—and thankfully, on this one, I wrote down each title.Also, like many of my mixtapes, this one doesn’t have the creation date written on it. But if you read the descriptions of the previous mixtapes I’ve shared, this was likely made in the mid-to-late nineties.

This mix takes you on another voyage into my teenage years.

You may have noticed that it’s been a while since I last uploaded anything related to Analog Musings. Part of the reason is that my RCA cassette player stopped playing cassettes. While the radio still works and the player spins when no cassette is inserted, it refuses to do so when one is loaded. 

I found a Sony Boombox that belonged to my mother to use, and I even remember helping her pick it out in the early 2000s at a Target Store in Phoenix, AZ. Because I couldn't find the ac cable to it, had to go get six C batteries. 

If all goes well, I hope to add a few newly digitized mix tapes to the Analog Musings playlist this year for you to enjoy! For now, I hope you like this short video post which includes snippets from one of those upcoming mix tapes.

Audio: Snippets of "Evening Bells" , "Love" by Thalia, "Saturday Night" by Whigfield, "Sex Machine" by 20 Fingers feat. Katrina, & "Unforgettable" Piano/Sax.

Another holiday season has come and gone. During the 2009 holiday season I only took photos on the 24th of December. 

The only other photos taken were during Holiday Play! - 19 December 2009 https://youtu.be/10i3F31hZVM

As you can see from the photos, most of them are of my gift wrapping, but thankfully, I also took some photos of the decorations.

Another year coming to an end and we wake up to some ice on our vehicle again. If you remember back on the 5th of February of 2008 I was also able to capture ice on my car.

These are the photos that I took at a Holiday Play that Armandzraven's niece Kateri participated in. It was held at a house and as you can see it was packed with parents and family members. Decided to add a frame on the ones where you see Kateri to better focus on her.
