Default A Song By Song Look at High Fidelity

A Song By Song Look at High Fidelity





Well, I'm rereading High Fidelity and the sheer amount of music that I'm completely unfamiliar with is making me feel like a retard, so I'm gonna make this journal to listen to every song and album mentioned in the book. This way if anyone talking about the book mentions something from it I can hold my nose in the air, wave my hand in dismissal, and declare, "Meh." This will make me look like a true audiophile even though my knowledge will likely begin and end with the song/band/album in question. Sweet.

I'm gonna do this according to what song, group of songs, album(s), happen to be relevant to a particular part of the book and give a little overview of how the music relates to the story. Needless to say, this will contain spoilers for the book, so if you haven't read it then fuck off out of it and go read it. I'd go into further detail about the format of this journal, but as always I am lazy and contemptuous of you all.
