Oh readers.  Gizmodo, everyone’s favourite geek blog, has been running an audio-themed segment for the last little while.

The focus of the latest post is on the art of the mixtape, with the author waxing nostalgic about his favorite mixtape.  Why was he so proud of this one particular mixtape?  Easy.  Classic hip hop joints, recorded off the radio in his hometown of San Francisco.

It’s a pretty funny list of classic hip hop and R&B, and is pretty much guaranteed to make you smile and close your eyes in loving memory of when radio was good.
