Love is a Mixed Tape - Rob Sheffield (2007)Rob Sheffield is a writer for Rolling Stone magazine, and in this memoir he tells the story of his life through the collection of mixed cassette tapes that he likes to listen too. Central to the story is his relationship with his wife Renee, and how he copes with her sudden death at age 31.
Sweet and not too hung up on worship of too cool for school bands that rock writers seem to love, Rob is not too embarassed to let us know about his love for some 80s and 90s bands, and a bit of old school too.
Initially I was drawn in by his description of Pat Benetar as a modern philosopher, and yes "Love is a Battlefield". 3/5
