00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:17,- A mix tape to me is an invitation

00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:20,to enter into someone else's world.

00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:25,- A mix tape is a set of
songs that are designed

00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,to evoke a specific set of
emotions or a mood or feeling,

00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:30,or something you're trying to say.

00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:34,They're basically a letter from
yourself to another person.

00:00:34,210 --> 00:00:39,A mix tape is utilizing the
finite amount of minutes

00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:44,to define a musical,
emotional environment,

00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:50,where you can put it on
and go through your past,

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,your future, your present, in a way that

00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:56,is emotionally poignant.

00:00:56,210 --> 00:00:59,- A mix tape is an instrument that you use

00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,to show someone your coolness,

00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:06,and the cool things and
culture that you like.

00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:09,And you put them all together
on one cassette like,

00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:11,your whole collection of coolness.

00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:13,- Because of that, it's
incredibly intimate.

00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:16,When you know someone well
enough to give them a mix,

00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,it's almost like knowing
someone well enough

00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:19,to say I love you.

00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,You're running that risk of rejection.

00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:26,- I totally edited the mixes
that people gave to me,

00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:29,because no one does it better than me.

00:01:29,068 --> 00:01:30,(laughs)

00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:34,- A mix tape is the gateway
to the entrance of your soul.

00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:38,It's either like you're allowed
in or you're f***g denied.

00:01:38,182 --> 00:01:39,(laughs)

00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:41,- You have to make great mix
tapes if you're a music lover.

00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:44,It's just a part of, you
don't have to be a musician.

00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,You just have to love music.

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,And that first track is so imperative.

00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,- It's really about knowing
what songs sync together,

00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:53,what songs blend together,
and having, like,

00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:55,creating a feeling, and
taking people on a journey.

00:01:55,930 --> 00:01:59,- A mix tape is a traveling sound collage.

00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,A full-circle experience.

00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:06,- The entire day, spread out musically.

00:02:06,050 --> 00:02:07,And if it's done properly,

00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:10,you're gonna have the best
f***g day of your life.

00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:15,- A mix tape, to me, is
an expression of songs.

00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,- An expression of yourself.

00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,- A communication of some feelings.

00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:23,- Holds the key to your
whole soul and being.

00:02:23,950 --> 00:02:26,- Where I've been and where I ** now.

00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:27,- It's an incantation.

00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:28,It's an invitation.

00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:30,- It's a perfectly captured moment.

00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,- You make it with great affection.

00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:34,It takes time.

00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:35,I put it in the tape deck, I'm like d***n!

00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,My hair stands up.

00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:38,I get all gooey inside.

00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,- A mix tape is an opportunity to express

00:02:41,940 --> 00:02:46,through the collage of
different artists, a story.

00:02:47,257 --> 00:02:49,(upbeat music)

00:02:55,144 --> 00:02:58,(upbeat rock music)

00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,- Hazel was interested in
getting a record player

00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,for a little while.

00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:27,And so I was researching online

00:03:27,940 --> 00:03:29,and I found this record player that also

00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:31,had a tape player built in.

00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,I was like, well that's gotta
be the one we're gonna get.

00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,G***t her a Beach House
record, Death Cab record,

00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:38,stuff like that.

00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:39,And then I was like, oh wait,

00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,I think I've g***t that box
of tapes in the garage.

00:03:42,645 --> 00:03:45,So I went and grabbed
this box of tapes here.

00:03:45,685 --> 00:03:50,And it's mostly mix tapes,
including the mix tape

00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:55,that I made for your mother
when we first started dating.

00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:57,And so we just kind of sat on the floor

00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,and listened to a bunch of these tapes.

00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:00,So you take the tape,

00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:05,that's g***t to be on the left
hand side, put it in here,

00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,turn this on.

00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:10,We need to plug it in.

00:04:10,617 --> 00:04:11,(both laughing)

00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:12,That's an important part.

00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:15,- [Hazel] Yeah, that might
affect it a little bit.

00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,- [Robert] What was the
first musical format

00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,that you listened to?

00:04:20,503 --> 00:04:23,Like, did you buy CDs or
was it just digital music?

00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,- No, I think I had, like, a CD player.

00:04:26,083 --> 00:04:29,I'm sure it was pink or Hello
Kitty, or something like that.

00:04:29,091 --> 00:04:30,- Something, yeah.

00:04:30,299 --> 00:04:33,- And yeah, I think I
listened to some CDs.

00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:37,I remember listening to
Phoenix, "Listzomania."

00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:40,I have like really
distinct memories of that.

00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:41,- Really?
- Yeah.

00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:43,- On CD?

00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:44,- I think so.

00:04:44,003 --> 00:04:44,- Did we have that CD?

00:04:44,836 --> 00:04:45,- Yeah, I think so.

00:04:45,956 --> 00:04:47,I remember putting it in, and like-

00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,- It was probably a CD-R.

00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:52,Do you know what a CD-R is?

00:04:52,104 --> 00:04:52,- No.

00:04:52,937 --> 00:04:53,- Should we talk about that?
- This is a good start.

00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:55,- All right, yeah, all right.

00:04:55,156 --> 00:04:57,(upbeat music)

00:05:29,491 --> 00:05:31,- Well, the first thing
we had was 8-tracks.

00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:33,We started out with a
massive amount of 8-tracks,

00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:35,and then my uncle had an
8-track player in his car,

00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:36,so that was a big deal.

00:05:36,823 --> 00:05:38,It was like whenever anybody
g***t to drive that car

00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,with the 8-track player in it,

00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:42,they always went crazy over the 8-tracks.

00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:45,- I hated 8-track right away

00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:48,because it would break
up one song on the side.

00:05:48,930 --> 00:05:49,It would go,

00:05:49,763 --> 00:05:52,it would be like la la la la la kkk-chunk,

00:05:54,577 --> 00:05:56,then it would be la la la la la.

00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:58,That's not nice.

00:05:58,310 --> 00:06:00,They should never have done that.

00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:01,- Vinyl was a big part of it,

00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:03,because the record
collections were all vinyl.

00:06:03,010 --> 00:06:05,So it was like, going
through those and looking

00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,at the album covers.

00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,A lot of albums I know
I knew as a kid and knew

00:06:08,943 --> 00:06:11,of them just because of the covers

00:06:11,288 --> 00:06:13,had really dope artwork on them.

00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:16,Or, you know, something on
the cover that stood out.

00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:19,- With my mom in Brookline,

00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:24,I remember not necessarily
what records she'd have on,

00:06:24,334 --> 00:06:25,but I remember looking
at her record collection

00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,while she was gone, and picking from that

00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,and seeing the record to

00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,the Joe Cocker record,
with his crazy face.

00:06:33,878 --> 00:06:34,His like ahh face.

00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:36,- If you were just looking at album covers

00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:38,and being like, Who is this girl

00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:39,with all this crazy makeup on?

00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,And then you get home
and it's like Nina Hagen,

00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:43,and you're like, This is
different, you know what I mean?

00:06:43,829 --> 00:06:47,(singing in foreign language)

00:06:48,532 --> 00:06:50,- I definitely remember falling in love

00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:51,with a lot of imagery,

00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,a lot of album covers.

00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:58,And I felt like it deepened
the listening experience.

00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,The earliest thing that I can remember,

140...
