Fusion 45

The Original Fusion 45 (Gotta Get Me A TV Special)

I launched Fusion 45 almost two years ago because I wanted to spend more time with my record collection (and less time with my kids!) in the studio I’d spent a lot of time and money building. (OK, the part about my kids is not exactly true; but when the going gets tough, it’s certainly an attractive refuge. My wife, the nurturer, understands.)

What I’ve gotten is more time with my computer. Damn, another plan foiled.

The very first Fusion 45 post was a mix of songs that happened this way: I took 12 records off the shelf, numbered them 2 through 12. I rolled a pair of dice to determine the record (2 through 12) and then the cut (2 through 12) that I would play. Unfortunately, Cut #1 never got played (poor, sad Cut #1).

Today, Mr. Peabody is setting the Wayback Machine for December 2006 for the first Fusion 45 mix in a mighty long time. A couple of changes: no dice, baby, just a random stack of records sitting on the studio floor and the tunes are set up individually (not in one big ole MP3).
