Artists blowing up our boomboxes right now include DJ Jester & DJ Marz, Willie Nelson on Billy Joe Shaver, Lisa Morales, High Heavens, and ZZ Top.
While listening to this cassette, I was overcome with a feeling reminiscent of watching one of thoseyear-in-review specials on Netflix. The hourlong mix – a collaboration between DJ Jester the Filipino Fist and DJ Marz & los Flying Turntables – unspools a cleverly constructed pop culture collage that might elicit both dancing and recent-nostalgia doom spirals.
Jester's side A rewinds us through the pandemic, starting by sampling a voicemail greeting from South by Southwest informing callers of the event's 2020 cancellation before flipping into the audio of a sourdough starter recipe. The ensuing 30 minutes intersperses interview clips, news reports, and mash-ups of classic songs – all with ingenious connections, like a ditty using the World Health Organization's hand-washing standards segueing into OutKast's"So Fresh, So Clean.
DJ Marz's half, while less contemporaneous, further pinpoints hilarious aspects of American culture with an adaption of the restaurant chain Sizzler's 1991 commercial jingle that swung for the fences like"We Are the World." Leaning on impressive turntablism, Marz lays the goofy patriotism on even thicker with Lee Greenwood's"God Bless the U.S.A.
This October marks two years since Billy Joe Shaver passed away, and the seminal Texas songwriter gets honored with an all-star tribute treatment this fall, helmed by Charlie Sexton. George Strait, Miranda Lambert, Margo Price, and Ryan Bingham are among the artists covering the Honky-Tonk Hero's classics for the New West platter, but Willie Nelson aptly gets the lead single with title track"Live Forever.
