TIME talked to (500) Days music supervisor Andrea von Foerster about what it takes to build the perfect romantic mix tape. (Read TIME's (500) Days of Summer review...

...arboreal animal - can navigate the delicate branches at the top of the tallest trees. At that height, tree branches are thin and begin to wobble as animals climb on them, much as a suspension footbridge vibrates as people walk over it. Too much vibration and an orangutan can be thrown off altogether. From high in the trees, such a fall would be deadly. (See pictures of a bonobo Eden...
