Love is a mix tape...

I'm currently reading (almost done) Love Is A Mix Tape: Life and Loss One Song at a Time by Rob Sheffield.



Rob Sheffield writes from his heart about the woman he loved (his wife Renée, who died of a pulmonary embolism in 1997) and the music that shaped their relationship as well as himself. His story is told through a series of 15 mix tapes.

It's touching and lovely and I highly recommend it. In fact, I love it so much I downloaded his latest to my Kindle as well, "Talking to Girls About Duran Duran: One Young Man's Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut". And will tuck into that as soon as I finish "Mix Tape". Rob is a music journalist, currently contributing editor at Rolling Stone Magazine.

Buy "Love Is A Mix Tape" on Amazon

I have a box in my closet of cassette tapes I used to tape songs on off the radio. makes me want to go back in there and see what I can find. I also see other "mix tape" or music memories type books being suggested to me on Amazon so I might go see what they're about.

Today is 9/02/10 .

Yeah, just realized that, and was amused. I will admit to an addiction to "Beverly Hills, 90210" particularly in the first couple of seasons, but I followed it all the way. Back then it was this and "Melrose Place". It was "appointment television" I tell you! It's been forever since I turned on any of the reruns on SoapNet though. And forget this "new" incarnation. Not the same. No.

Anyway, let the familiar guitar riff ensue!
