A slogan of the music industry in the 1980s. See, before mp3s were killing music, cassette tapes were. No doubt hundreds of years before recording technology existed, people were listening to wandering minstrels and writing down their lyrics and notes, thus spawning the catchphrase "Literacy is killing music".

Also the name of a mix tape I made years ago, probably the best one I ever did:

  1. Cyrkle - "Red Rubber Ball"
  2. Mission of Burma - "Academy Fight Song"
  3. Robyn Hitchcock - "If You Were A Priest"
  4. Replacements - "Answering Machine"
  5. REM - "Superman"
  6. Camper Van Beethoven - "Good Guys and Bad Guys"
  7. Weenie Roast - "Weenie Roast"
  8. - "I Saw Bigfoot"
  9. - "Meat Prices"
  10. Poi Dog Pondering - "Living With The Dreaming Body"
  11. Wire - "Strange"
  12. XTC - "Mayor of Simpleton"
  13. Men Without Hats - "Pop Goes The World"
  14. Minor Threat - "Good Guys Don't Wear White"
  15. The Dickies - "Eve of Destruction"
  16. REM - "Radio Free Europe"
  17. The Violent Femmes - "Mother of a Girl"
  18. Throwing Muses - "Devil's Roof"
  19. Meat Puppets - "We're Here"
  20. Cocteau Twins - "Blue Bell Knoll"
  21. Wall of Voodoo - "Interstate 15"
