RE-RELEASE: Mixtape - Song You First Heard on a Mixtape and Still Love

We’re on a short break until September 2, so we’re rewinding our Mixtape episode. Please press play and relive the joy of swapping songs, discovering new favorites, and maybe falling for Devo all over again.--This week on Stereothematica, we’re diving into the songs we first heard on mixtapes. Whether it was on a carefully curated cassette from a friend, a crush, or a burned CD passed around in high school, these are the tracks that hit different and never left our rotation. We get into the emotional data transfer of mixtapes, and why some songs just stick—even if the relationships didn’t.Videos:Devo: Beautiful World (1981) The Slits: Typical Girls (1979)Extras:Devo performing “That’s Good” on Square Pegs (Correction: Christine mistakenly call it “Good Thing” in the episode)The Slits: I Heard it Through the Grapevine (1979)1999 Target commercial Portlandia Mixologist ClipConnect with us on Instagram (to share your song picks or troll us), Spotify (for our ever-growing playlist), and Stereothematica.com (for extra fun)!If you like what you’re hearing, please subscribe, and if you love it, a five-star rating and review would send us into the exosphere of excitement.And email us at [email protected]!
