Hi - I bought this tape from Calvin at one of his concerts, an now I'm trying to get a few of these songs in a digital format to put together a mix cd. When I try to open the file, it asks for a password. Is there a problem with the file, or do you know what the password might be?
ReplyDeleteis this still available??
ReplyDeleteSo many thank yous for posting this, however long ago it was. I bought this tape at a small record store when I was in high school and it became the soundtrack to a lot of my adolescence. Friends of mine heard the tape and asked to borrow it and friends of theirs, etc. etc. and it was passed along many times without being copied and eventually I lost track of it when I was in college.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've had a few of these songs stuck in my head for years now without any way to track most of them down; I would google random phrases I remembered occasionally but to no avail. Finally I googled "Calvin Johnson power pop mixtape" a few minutes ago and found this post after years of searching. Oh my.
