Miles' Infinite Playlist

Kathy suggested to me that i read a book by Rob Sheffield called "Love is a Mixtape" about how Sheffield created a different mixtape to describe his relationship with his wife and I plan on buying that book (with my Borders reward discount) and then I realized there was another book that I wanted to read that dealt with that same subject, the soon to be Michael Cera movie, "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" about two young people who fall in love through their love a music. Now I have always been more of a movie lover than a music lover but I have been known to know my share of songs, pretty much all of them. There are some songs I could say relate to my life perfectly and then their are others not so much (It's raining Men for example not my cup of tea, and not my kind of rainstorm either). One of my favorite movies has to do with love and music inhabiting another in Johnny Cusack's "High Fidelity" who uses his penchant for making top five song list to list his top five break-ups. Cusack's character says "Am I miserable because I listened to pop music or do I listen to pop music because I am miserable. So here it is my infinite playlist to describe my life.
