The Running Waves Mix Tape

Around the time we began working on The Running Waves, Seton and I found a box our old mix tapes from the early nineties. We remembered how important music was to us growing up, and knew that we had to include music in our book. We feel that the songs are not just a backdrop in TRW, but they are also characters. There is a story behind every song we chose, and those stories will come out during our book tour. These songs also gave us major inspiration (especially Feel Us Shaking by The Samples) while we worked away on the book. T.R.W. is currently going through final edits so not all of the songs will make the published edition, but we thought we’d include them here. Readers may want to try and track them down (most are on iTunes) to make their own Running Waves play list for their ipod. That way when they read The Running Waves (release May 2010) they may feel even more connected to 1994.
