All you mixtape lovers out there might find this book of interest:

Cassette From My Ex: Stories and Soundtracks of Lost Loves will be in stores next week on Tuesday October 27th! You can pre-order on Amazon now or head to your favorite indie bookstore next week to be the first to grab a copy.

The brand-new anthology compiles sixty hilarious, nostalgic and heartbreaking stories about crushes and mixtapes from amazing writers and musicians: author Rick Moody, The Magnetic Fields’ Claudia Gonson, This American Life's Starlee Kine, The New Yorker's Ben Greenman, Joe Levy, Improv Everywhere's Charlie Todd, Mortified's David Nadelberg–  even a new story from the godfather of the genre, Rob Sheffied.

Cassette From My Ex falls in with a lot of the best confessional culture projects like Mortified, PostSecret and Six-Word Memoirs. Mixtape stories can be deeply personal and intimate or awkward and hilarious, and occasionally tragic... and though the title of the project already let's on how each relationship will end (badly)- you'll remember what it was like when crushes and music were at the center of the universe.
