The 2010 Version of the “Mix-Tape”

Gear Diary The 2010 Version of the Mix Tape photo

I sure remember it.  If you lived through the 1980s I’m guessing you do too.

The “Mix-Tape.”  Whether you made one yourself or had one made for you, it contained songs that reminded you or your crush of the time you’d spent together.  I think I still even have one of these tapes in a shoebox in my basement, although I don’t own a cassette player with which to play it on.

Well times have changed.  And here’s the 2010 version of that old icon, the “mix-tape.”

Suck UK makes this clever way of presenting a mix tape to your modern crush.

You can store 64MB’s of tunes on the drive USB thumb stick, which is about one-hour of high-quality digital music, just about the same experience you’d get on a standard cassette tape.

The drive fits in the gift case that resembles a tape’s jacket and you can then jot down the playlist and whatever other messages your heart desires.

It works on both Mac and PC and is available for $20 here.
