This. There used to be a pair of terrific late night/early morning programs on CBC called Brave New Waves and Night Lines. The host of Night Lines, for the two weekends preceding xmas every year would play alternative tunes of the season. I had five or six sets of cassettes that I made by selecting the tunes as he played them.
hit record as song starts
decide whether I want to keep it
If so, all good
if not, quickly stop, rewind, find my initial stop and wait for next tune
Made for some interesting mixes and especially transitions between songs.
Brave New Waves was probably one of the things formative to who I am in a weird way. I only wish a) I discovered it sooner (grade 11 in Ontario, I think?) and b) was able to stay awake later.
