    The Strokes -- Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond, Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti -- in the midst of the current madness of readying their upcoming album, each band member freed up some time to talk with us at City Stage in lower Manhattan. Over the course of a couple days, each member of the band touched on their love of music and experiences creating homemade mixtapes.
    While reminiscing about influences as varied as 80s Metal and Wham!, Frank Sinatra and Pearl Jam, Puccini and Radiohead, each bandmate shared personal memories of creating and sharing music back in their cassette tape days. The first in the TDK Life on Record Chronicles series, The Strokes pay tribute to the mixtape and the music that inspired them. The Strokes plan to release their highly anticipated fourth album in early 2011.

I love hearing people's stories about their adolescence. I remember fixing many of my brother's tapes that I inherited using a pencil, scissors and scotch tape so as to avoid getting my ass kicked.

    It's incredible how much technology has shaped they way we listen to music in this modern age, before then it was extremely difficult to organize a collection of CDs of your favorite bands. With credit to their influences mentioned in the video, The Strokes' music really ushered in a new era of music listening into the .mp3 age where we are now.
