The Guardians of the Galaxy movie franchise makes heavy use
of a cassette mixtape in its storyline, and the classic
cuts found on each volume serve as the sonic backdrop
to the three films, So it's fitting that three of
last year's four best selling cassette albums were none other
than the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix soundtracks. What's
interesting is that the first film's mix, Guardians of the

best selling cassette overall full nine years after its debut.
Volume two finish at number three, while the most recent
Volume three was a spot behind at number four. The
only outlier isn't too surprising Taylor Swift's nineteen eighty nine

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
