the revival

no pictures. this is straight business.

Mix tapes have definitely taken on a new shape over the years.

Making your own mixes was never all that easy until the advent of the modern cassette tape. For years people would use these little magnetic tapes to create their own ‘personal’ mix tapes for themselves, for their friends. When the digital age dropped the compact disc bomb, the cassette tape wasn’t phased for people loved the ease of creating their own playlists.

….until the recordable cd became an affordable option. From then on, people began recording their playlists to this cheaper, fully digital, cold, anti-personal media.

….until the age of the internet, where assholes like tuftsmania began making mixtapes to distribute over the internet in the form of MP3 files, an even colder, and less personal medium.

I’m here to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

Starting in 2 days, Saturday December 8 at 12PM PST (lunchtime), I will open the email account I have created for this very special event.

When the clock strikes 12PM PST, the first 25 people who call the TUFTSMANIA HOTLINE (424) 354-0313, THEN emails giveaway@tuftsmania.com will receive a copy of my holiday of 07 mixtape “Hubbub of 2007″ on CD with limited artwork for EVERY copy! yay hooray. I know you’re excited.

It gets better. The first 5 (FIVE) callers will get a verrryyy limited run (1/5) of the mix tape. ON A 100% PLASTIC AND MAGNETS CASSETTE TAPE. it’s so old that you will have to borrow the stereo in your friend’s 92 ford fiesta to listen to it. You’ll still get the cd as well, but fuck the cd, you can get the real deal mix tape! I again will draw all the artwork with my slave hands for you to ogle at.

I know there are some international (outside of the USA) people that visit this site, and yeah, that’s right YOU can play too. I’ll ship this shit ALL OVER THE WORLD. who needs money anyway (me, but that’s besides the point).
