About the Book

"Most of the time," Theodor Adorno has noted, "records are virtual photographs of their owners." The Annotated Mixtape, a memoir of record collecting, cross-fades music with personal history and American history and culture (the 2008 recession, AM radio, Reaganomics, nuclear war) to show how music has informed the author's life.

About the Author :
Joshua Harmon is the author of the essay collection The Annotated Mixtape, the novel Quinnehtukqut, the short story collection History of Cold Seasons, and the poetry collections Le Spleen de Poughkeepsie and Scape. He lives in western Massachusettes.

Review :
Praise for The Annotated Mixtape: "The Annotated Mixtape reads like Geoffrey O'Brien's Sonata for Jukebox updated for the generation raised on early MTV. It's the story of an obsession, speaking to collectors who want to track down every alternate mix and rare B-side, but it's also a funny and touching meditation on what music can mean in a life. While exploring a lifetime of listening in often ridiculous detail Harmon keeps returning to the big questions--who we are, what we value, and, most of all, what it means to remember." Mark Richardson, Editor-in-Chief, Pitchfork, and author of Zaireeka "Can all this -- mapping one's life around LP shopping, the exquisite playback rituals, and above all, the passionately empathic art of mixtape-making -- really be ancient history? Josh Harmon brings it all back home, joining Greil Marcus, Rob Sheffield, Geoff Dyer, and other great alchemists who use songs as magic portals to memory, history, and literary spelunking. Like a great mixtape, it connects music to how we live." -- Will Hermes, author of Love Goes To Buildings On Fire: Five Years in New York City That Changed Music Forever
