Publisher's note

Sixty noted writers and musicians wax poetic about their own experiences with cassette mix tapes, an art form turned nostalgia due to the advent of iPods and playlists, and the relationships that inspired them, in a book that includes contributions from author Rick Moody, Blender editor Joe Levy, Magnetic Fields member Claudia Gonson, and many more.

An art form combining the skills of a DJ with the intimacy of a letter, a good mixtape was the ultimate audio valentine. Today, when the iPod and playlists reign supreme, the cassette has been rendered obsolete, and the art of crafting these sonic calling cards has been relegated to back-of-the-closet, thirty-something nostalgia. Now, thanks to Jason Bitner, we can relive our lost youth and lost loves.
In "Cassette from My Ex," sixty noted writers and musicians wax poetic about their own experiences with these charming artifacts and the relationships that inspired them. Contributors include:
"Maxim "editor Joe Levy
Author Rick Moody
Former "Rolling Stone" writer and MTV2 veejay Jancee Dunn
The Magnetic Fields' Claudia Gonson
Stories range from the irreverently sweet, such as the doomed love affair between a Deadhead and a Goth, to the touching, such as the heartbreaking discovery of a former love passing away. Everyone will find a story or a song to relate to. Just hit play.

Annotation

For those who came of age, who fell in love for the first time--with a boy or girl and a band or two--in the 1980s, this walk down memory lane is likely to strike a resonant chord. Compiled by Found Magazine co-founder Jason Bitner, CASSETTE FROM MY EX invites artists and thinkers to offer their musings on the lost and lonely mix tape. Contributors include: Claudia Gonson of the Magnetic Fields, author Rick Moody, MAXIM editor Joe Levy, and many others sharing funny, intimate, and touching first-hand stories.
