Life is a Mixtape

(Please excuse me if there has already been a post like this... I haven't seen one...)

Lately I've had mixtapes on the brain. After a sweet boy gave me DIY USB mixtape, I've thought a lot about their significance in contemporary culture.

I've also thought about what I would put on my own life's mixtape. Mine would have 20 tracks of the same song- "This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) by the Talking Heads (the Stop Making Sense version). This song signifies it all for me- love, home, happiness, death.

What would you put on your life's mixtape?

I love the song, but have yet to hear the whole album. I'm obsessed with solo Peter Gabriel, but never really got into Phil Collins' Genesis.

We have eerily similar taste in music. I love this mixtape!

Have you read the book "Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time" by Rob Sheffield?

I highly recommend it. Aside from his great mix tapes he includes, the story of which songs influenced him when and everything just flowed.
