Fusion: The union or blending together of things, as, melted together. (Webster’s Dictionary, 1913)
One morning, you wake up, scratch your ass a couple of times, check your eyes for that crusty crap, wipe off the crusty crap, find breakfast, eat breakfast, grab your guitar, grab your amp, leave home, and visit your buddy down the road. You’ve known this guy for years. You’ve known this guy for months. You’ve known this guy for the better part of a day. In that time, you’ve discovered that he can play music just as well as you can. You both listen to the same awesome records, watch the same awesome movies; you’ve even dated the same ‘awesome’ women. You know this person and they know you. One day, the day that this one morning falls under, you guys decide to put the old tape recorder your friend found in his basement one dark weekend to use. You spend a lot of long hours playing the same damn parts over and over again until they’re just right. You put pieces of each other in your music; bits of your souls. That chord progression was last weekend’s fascinating walk in the park. That drum fill was last month’s belching contest. These songs are, essentially, you in every way. So, you get yourselves pressed onto several hundred vinyl records, put yourselves out in a limited release, and interact with each and every listener on possibly the most intimate of levels.
That’s what I like to think went down in the months leading up to this.
