2009 Mixtapes from Books

[Charles]

Hey all,

I made 4 mixtapes from books I read this year. Here's a link to my blog where they are available for streaming:

I had pretty much written this group off. Okay, I forgot it was here. Those are some cool looking mixes. I will have to check out Chronic City. Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah. I noticed there hadn't been any posts in a minute. Anyway, I like the idea. My take is a little different though. Instead of creating a mixtape FOR a book I'm reading I make a mixtape FROM the book I'm reading. All the songs in my mixes are mentioned by the author in the book, either by track name or by album. It's really been an interesting project. It's funny how often songs come up in novels, even novels not overtly concerned with music.
