Have just ripped much of one of my earliest mixed tapes, most of which I made on New Year's Day 1998, when the current hits station of the time was repeating a several-hour year end countdown. I started it to record the Spice Girls' "Wannabe," which I was crazy about at the time, and, ironically, has since suffered a somewhat bizarre piece of sound damage and will not be making the transition to CD. But elsewhen in the day I also recorded most of the Europop that played on American radios that year. When I was 13 I loved that stuff, though some of it made me blush(now they seem soft and innocent in attitude; now it seems either songs don't mention sex or are hard and ugly).
