hippie_chickI'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
Buy "Talking To Girls About Duran Duran" 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.
