Swap Tape Question

[000xKO]

Johan! Er du/dere en robot eller hva? :) The original idea here was pretty
much "anything goes". and that should be easy enough a concept to grasp?
Sure, I have a sort of lurid "theme" on my tape, but anyone can tape
anything they want, preferably as lomng as its a mix of fairly obscure
music to stimulate disovery of new things... no?? Is my crystal clear
interpretation just too damn liberal?
