Largehearted Boy keeps an informative blog on music, literature and culture. Almost daily news briefs intermingle with more in-depth discussions of mostly arts-related topics. He has two running features that continually highlight the lovely mixture between media formats, drawing on authors and musicians to combine their worlds.

With book notes, authors get the opportunity to create a mixtape to go along with their novels. Not only does it bring a bunch of great books to your attention, but it lets you inside the author’s mind, and gives you a way to connect with them that may not have been so easy to do if you only read the book.

With note books, you get the opposite effect, with musicians detailing their thoughts about various works of literature. Again, it adds a whole new dimension to the experience of the music.
