Mixtape is a journey through one of the most exciting eras of popular music. Each chapter covers a song released between 1975 and 1985, and features in-depth research, critical assessment, and the occasional dose of snark. Some of these 21 songs will be familiar, others not so familiar, but all of them have fascinating stories to tell. Mixtape is a great read for fans of music and popular culture, and for anyone who wants to revisit the sounds of that exhilarating decade.
