This is a wonderful compilation of short autobiographical profiles put together to tell the stories of mix tapes that had been given to the authors by an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend in the past. Each 2-3 page story humorously tells the story of a doomed relationship set in the time period where the music was lovingly dubbed together. The original cassette and artwork was perfectly replicated to show the great care and effort put into each cassette. I loved this book as it immortalized these lost relationships and examined those early days of love when you used to find yourself scanning the lyrics of each selected song for hidden meanings and insight into the new object of your affection. A great, beautiful color book (i.e. buy the hardcover, not the e-book!) which highlights the lost art of mix tape giving and receiving. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
An art form combining the skills of a DJ with the intimacy of a letter, a good mixtape was the ultimate audio valentine. Today, when the iPod and playlists reign supreme, the cassette has been rendered obsolete, and the art of crafting these sonic calling cards has been relegated to back-of-the-closet, thirty-something nostalgia. Now, thanks to Jason Bitner, we can relive our lost youth and lost loves. InCassette from My Ex, sixty noted writers and musicians wax poetic about their own experiences with these charming artifacts and the relationships that inspired them. Contributors include: Maximeditor Joe Levy Author Rick Moody FormerRolling Stone writer and MTV2 veejay Jancee Dunn The Magnetic Fields' Claudia Gonson Stories range from the irreverently sweet, such as the doomed love affair between a Deadhead and a Goth, to the touching, such as the heartbreaking discovery of a former love passing away. Everyone will find a story or a song to relate to. Just hit play. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
