Lazy-i Best of 2005 Compilation

Here it is again, the annual year-end "best of" compilation. When I started doing this 11 years ago I made maybe five or six copies. These days I give away around 100 to friends, family, business acquaintances -- people on the scene and in the know. And you could be one of them!

As always, it's a recap of the best stuff I had a chance to hear throughout the year as part of my work with Lazy-i.com and The Reader. By the way, that funky music heard at the beginning is a jingle circa 1970 for KIOA, is a radio station out of Des Moines that Teresa grew up listening to. If it sounds familiar, then you're probably too old to be listening to this CD. Thanks as always goes out to artist/genius Donovan Beery (eleven19.com) for doing his usual stellar job of package design.
