Ooh, that book looks totally up my alley. I'll definitely check it out. Some of my happiest memories as a teenager were spent obsessing over a mix tape track list. I loved the process when you were taping, listening to the tracks play, thinking and weighing the next song.

I never did the mix tape thing (I can certainly attest to the quality of a Wilson mix tape though since Fred's brother was a master mix tape creator), but I recognize Rob S. as one of the few worthwhile things left at Rolling Stone Magazine. I just picked this book up at Amazon. Thanks for the tip.

You might want to take a look at the movie "Morvern Callar" (sp?) Story about a young woman who wakes up to find her boyfriend dead of suicide next to her. He left a novel ms. and a mixtape for her (back in the day when they still were actual tapes). The story that follows is on the gloomy side, unsurprisingly, but it does put you in that emotional space where everthing seems to depend on the next song. Anyhow...here's my question. Why is it that mixtape people never end up with each other?
