Got a new Spotify playlist for ya. It’s been a while. I used to make mixtapes. When you could make tapes. Now, I make playlists. Read a couple chapters of Rob Sheffield’s book Love Is a Mixtape this morning. There was a reviewer who really really really took Sheffield to task for erroneously describing just what exactly a mixtape is. Apparently there were rules? Nobody told me. I only really have one parameter for playlists these days: seven songs. Unless it’s a compilation of one category, or a specific extended collection of songs.
Find me on Spotify and check out my playlists, and remember that Your Silent Face has a companion playlist, which you can find on same.
This playlist is a companion to my 80s coming-of-age novel, Your Silent Face. Stuart Page is a protagonist obsessed with 80s New Wave and Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Divison. All of the tunes and bands in the playlist get a mention in the novel. The novel is available on Amazon.
