Extra emphasis on "the"! In the Stephen Chbosky book by a similar name Charlie makes a mixtape featuring Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Nick Drake and of course his favorite - The Smiths. What started as my re-write of his mix tape turned out to be something completely different.
My high school english teacher had a poster of Alex Chilton by the door. I am in love with Tegan or Sara. Every mixtape should have a great old Pumpkins songs and a great old REM song because many people don't even recognize the bands at their earlier stages of development.
