Colm Tóibín on Joni Mitchell • James Wood on The Who • Stacey D'Erasmo on Kate Bush • Daniel Handler on Eurythmics • Lisa Dierbeck on the Pretenders • Clifford Chase on the B-52s . . . and other writers on the soundtracks of their livesIn Heavy Rotation, twenty of our most acclaimed contemporary writers pay homage to the record albums that inspired them.
