"High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob, a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart." -- IMDB
“What came first, music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos. But some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally, thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss.
Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable, or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?”
That's the best movie intro I've ever watched, seriously!! I have this urge to watch movies like this! haha

2.) I love the idea of making mixtape for someone you want. I would definitely do it but I have the fear of them not understanding the value of it. I remember a classmate, actually my seatmate, we once exchanged playlist hehe really nice
"The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules." -Rob
