Pop Hits Trapped in My Soul: Unruly Mix II (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233488290)

In Pop Hits Trapped in My Soul, Bob Deakin's stories follow the strange, comic, and sometimes unsettling ways hit music embeds itself into memory and identity, burrowing into the mind like a New England deer tick under the skin.

Blending personal stories and cultural observation, Deakin writes about the joy of pop songs, from Top 40 hits to obscure album cuts.

These essays analyze the musicians, sessions, and lyrics in detail. Satire and sharp questions about taste, nostalgia, and musical choice turn listening habits into something worth examining.

This second volume of the Unruly Mix series is for anyone who's ever had a song lodged in their head, and feared it might be there for good.
