And, yes, though Simon Reynolds' book made me listen to a lot of long forgotten items, I have to say that it was a problematic read, and unsatisfying in the end. I'm sure I wrote about that somewhere. (ps -- Yay, Grenadine!) This was a really great read, thank you!

Probably my favorite pop culture writer and the best book about that period between 1989 and 1997 when so much amazing music was coming out. I love how shamelessly nostalgic his book is for that period. I seriously shed a tear or two when Renee died. In my top 10 fave books of 2006! I positively LOVED Sheffield’s book.

I read Rob's book, "Love Is A Mixtape", in one afternoon. It would be interesting enough for any music fan, but I was especially enthralled because the story often mirrored the beginnings of my own marriage (me being the sassy Appalachian girl, my husband being the reserved Irishman, & mixtapes being our greatest means of communication).

Wonderful conversation, thanks! But if some of those 90s zines were reprinted I’d have to change my name and leave the country. If nothing else, zines eventually taught me to think before opening my yap.

Probably my favorite pop culture writer and the best book about that period between 1989 and 1997 when so much amazing music was coming out. I love how shamelessly nostalgic his book is for that period. I seriously shed a tear or two when Renee died. In my top 10 fave books of 2006! I positively LOVED Sheffield’s book.

Probably my favorite pop culture writer and the best book about that period between 1989 and 1997 when so much amazing music was coming out. I love how shamelessly nostalgic his book is for that period. I seriously shed a tear or two when Renee died. In my top 10 fave books of 2006! I positively LOVED Sheffield’s book.
