What was the process of thought that brought you to the MIXTAPE concept and format?
BA: There’s two answers to that. The first can be found on page one panel
one of Mixtape #1. It was while packing up my things to move
to NYC that I found an old box full of mementoes from my teenage years. There
were yearbooks, there were copies of SPIN and Rolling Stone magazine, there
were letters from friends, photo albums ... and mixtapes. Lots of mixtapes.
