• Mixed Tape

    Does this mean a mix tape or is that something else? 🤨

    Also: I’ve used a rotary phone, but only because I had bought a novelty modern phone that used a rotary dialer in the 90s.

    I got 19 or 20, depending on the answer to my question about the “mixed tape” thing.

      I think “mixed tape” refers to when you could take a cassette and record different songs onto it. Though I don’t remember how it was done unless you caught a song playing on the radio at just the right point. Using a novelty dial phone wouldn’t really count.

        Right, but that’s usually called a “mix tape”, not “mixed” unless that’s some kind of regional thing. I’ve never heard anyone call that a “mixed tape” before this post.
