In his own words, here is Frank Portman's Book Notes music playlist for his short story collection, Andromeda Klein:
My new book, Andromeda Klein, is a portrait of a teenage occultist. Andromeda has no knowledge of or interest in rock and roll music whatsoever, until she accidentally discovers Led Zeppelin in a broken tape player in the third act. Till then she is a devotee of the medieval troubadour/composer Guillaume de Machaut and other examples of ars nova and ars subtilior. A playlist consisting solely of G. d. M. and Led Zeppelin wouldn't be without its own special charm, but it doesn't really say "party tape" to me.
So for my book launch party at my local, I just decided to make a mix of cool songs about magic and magicky things. And here it is:
11. "Ouija Board, Ouija Board" -- Morrissey
Included for the the subject matter, obviously, but also because this kind of seems like it was meant to be a rhyme at some point: "Well she has now gone from this unhappy planet, with all the carnivores and the destructors on it."
