In this great memoir, Rolling Stone veteran rock and pop culture critic and staff writer Rob Sheffield tells the story of his musical era and how rock music, the first love of his life, led him to Renee, the second girl. The lives of Rob and Renee together – they got married after graduation, both became music journalists and only got married five years when Renee died suddenly on Mother’s Day 1997 – which was divided by window mixes that they had forcibly put together. There are mixes for each other, mixes for travel, mixes for cooking, mixes for sleep – and finally mixes for Rob’s greatest loss. The songs were among the great musical output of the early 1990s – Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Pavement, Yo La Tengo, REM, Weezer – as well as classics from The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin and others. Combining Dave Eggers’ skillful, tragic slap and Nick Hornby’s romantic honesty, LOVE IS MIX TAPE is a tale of lost love and intrusion of good pop music.
