00:00Who's your favorite band?
00:02Mine is Rush.
00:04I like Journey?
00:05Yeah, Neil Sean!
00:13In case you're wondering, this top ten list is on order.
00:16Just my favorites right now,
00:17which I've been trying to record forever.
00:23Being a broke teenager, I can't afford to buy records.
00:26Vinyl is much better, of course, so it's cassette tapes and the radio.
00:38I only need one more to finish my mixtape.
00:45I know I'm only 13, but I'm pretty mature for my age.

01:26Hit the record button too soon,
01:28you get the DJ blabbing over the song.
01:30But hit too late, and you've missed the first part of the song,
01:34then it's not worth recording at all.
01:36I've been working on my technique for several years,
01:38and I'm pretty close to perfecting it.
01:43Right here on Texas Best Rock.
01:46You don't like Rush?
