I challenge you to make a list of your top five songs. Those that represent you or those that undoubtedly enclose your concept of good music. Yesterday I tried to do that for a few hours, and with the passage of time I had already turned back to the list three times at least.
\nSo the answer is definitely no, I can\u2019t draw up a final list.<\/p>\n

In doing this Rob Fleming is talented, he continually draws Top Five, for every moment in his life: when he needs to figure out where he is – or maybe not \u2013 he writes a list of five points, of his ex-girlfriends, films, “songs to put at his funeral,” books, “dream jobs”, of hypothetical answers punctually not given to real conversations.<\/p>\n

London of Nineties is the narrative context as a background to the novel by Nick Hornby, “High Fidelity.”\u00a0These were years in which girls were courting with cassettes, in which the order of the songs is chosen not by accidental fate but it’s the result of a careful and elaborate declaration of love and where being a deejay is the realization of a teenage dream. Here lives the thirty-five-Rob, Dick and Barry the two bizarre friends and staff members of the record store the Championship Vynil, Marie and Laura the beautiful American singer-songwriter. Rob is, was, will be engaged to Laura. And Laura is a tough girl, that in front of immaturity and fears of Rob “tried to resist because in life she never held on to anything.” I love Laura, I like her battles because in this story – starring a Peter Pan-nineties (but adaptable to any time) – she can look forward to finding a destination to a relatioship that in the past was beautiful but in the present doesn\u2019t seem so. Laura endeavors to prove both homesickness and hope, as Nick Hornby do with his music.<\/p>\n
