Word Pirates

Neato thing to check out: Largehearted Boy has a series in which authors create and discuss a playlist related to their book.

The authors and types of books featured vary. An interesting one was Chuck Klosterman talking about his playlist for “Killing Yourself to Live,” which is about his road trip visiting rock ‘n’ roll death sites. Music and writing are personal and public, so I love the intersection.
From Klosterman’s interview/playlist:

There is a long passage in the book where I analyze girls I’ve slept via the context of the 1978 KISS solo albums, and the highest-charting single from those albums was Ace’s disco metal effort “New York Groove.”

Thanks to Andre for the link!
