Lazy-i Best of 2002 Compilation Another year, another year-end comp. As always, the CD is a recap of all the best music I had a chance to hear throughout the year as part of my work with Lazy-I Sure, there's a ton of stuff missing -- heck, there's a ton of great stuff I never had a chance to hear. Most of the tracks chosen come from review copies of CDs received in the mail for review on www.Lazy-i.com. The story behind this year's tape case design: Those knitted things are doorknob socks knitted by my girlfriend's granny. They're all over my house around Christmas time. The idea behind using them was inspired by the artwork for Sonic Youth's Dirty CD. World-class designer Donovan Beery of eleven19.com came up with the package design. Hot! Who gets a copy? I make about 50 of them for friends, family and industry folks I've been in contact with throughout the year-- all the important people. It's a fun substitution for sending out Christmas cards. Here's a rundown of the songs: Yo La Tengo -- "Nuclear War" from the Matador CD single of the same name.
