Love Is A Mixtape
I just finished reading Rob Sheffield's beautiful 'Love Is A Mixtape'. I am not sure if I have ever related so much to somebody else's words as I did with this book.
I have spent my whole life trying to communicate with people, especially girls, through mix tapes.I have an uncanny knack for ALWAYS saying the wrong thing, or worse yet saying nothing at all, but I have always been good at letting songs do the talking for me. I may not be able to tell you how I feel...but I can play you a song that will convey the message.
This book made me realize that my condition is not unique. It is an absolute must read for any music lover...and it is a gorgeous tribute to love and life and the music that gets us through every day.
I just wanted to share one little excerpt...when I first heard this part, i was almost frightened by how much of me I heard in his words...
