Pick a book.
Select an album which would be its perfect soundtrack (or even make a mixtape playlist for different parts of the story if you feel like really getting into it)

i.e. Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor and Panic at the Disco's 'A Fever...' - not least because the band rip a lot of lyrics and song titles direct from Palahniuk's work. Or less obvious, Maxence Fermine's Snow with Explosions in the Sky 'The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place'. Get the idea? Over to you lot. I expect to find some books to read and albums to check out...

Here are some examples from the nice chap from yndi halda who's first novel is coming out next week http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4147401-if-stories-were-songs--james-vellas-devourings
