20khertz Podcast Submission - audio formats - The Mix Tape

A person has a cassette from 1984 with the label Deaf Leopard Pyromania, but it's actually a mixtape made by a friend in middle school. The original music was replaced with songs from bands like Queensryche, Armored Saint, and Riot. This tape played a significant role in sparking their love for music, and the friend who made the mixtape is still their best friend. In my bedside table is a cassette from 1984, and the label on the tape says Deaf Leopard Pyromania, but it's actually a mixtape I begged a friend of mine to make back in middle school. The original music was replaced with music from bands like Queensryche, Armored Saint, and Riot. The tape is single-handedly the most important catalyst that fueled my love for music, and the bootlegger, we'll call him, is still my best friend after all these decades.
