don't have good taste in music... not that this book is that great but its helpful if you don't know anything about pop music.

this author likes to use blur song 2 a lot... I mean a lot. Like i said if you have no concept of pop music this is a good book for you. its a bit repetitive in the play lists, but then again if you don't know any better it wont matter to you. The book can be funny at times. Also it can be a good book if you make mixes and are bugged to make one for someone but are to lazy to actually make one just flip and pick. Not that I have ever done that. (seriously)

In high school I read and re-read this dumb little thing. My memories may differ from reality; but I learned, I loved, I laughed.
