So, in honor of that very first interaction between djlazybear and myself, we set the following parameters for January’s Hi-Fi Fifteen: songs recorded during the Idle Time era (2001 to the present), covering songs originally released during our lifetimes, prior to meeting each other (so, 1972 – 2000).
Even if I can’t carry a tune.Ī great covers mix needed to be a little more focused. And when bands we love cover songs by other bands that we love… then it just feels like we’re all part of one big celebration. Anyone with musical ability, on the other hand, celebrates songs that he or she loves by covering those tunes. Our way of celebrating songs that we loved took the form of pen & paper lists, incessant arguments, halfass DJ sets, and burned CDs by the caseload. That same year djlazybear’s buddy holybee joined our staff, and talking music took on a whole new meaning. Turns out, he saw the CD case for The Best of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on the passenger seat of my car, and was eager to talk music. I probably gave him one of those fuck-you-talking-to expressions, like Mac and Dennis defensively reacting to their new neighbor in the burbs. I remember, because it caught me completely off-guard.
Hell, it was one of the first things he ever said to me, period. “Have you heard Johhny Cash’s version of “The Mercy Seat”? The first non-work related thing djlazybear ever said to me.
