Tonight I rehearsed with Microdot, one of the three bands I'm currently in (more on my multi-band experience later). Since Dave Cavalier and I found a new drummer, Joe Gorelick, in late July, we've slowly started gaining momentum as a new band, and we're finding our way musically and personally.

The main way we get comfortable with each other is to play covers at rehearsal. I am a human jukebox (my mom is the human) and Dave and Joe are the perfect complements in that regard. Off the top of my head, here are one hundred covers we've played or attempted to play in the 2 1/2 months we've been together, sorted by band:

Dinosaur Jr. - The Lung, Kracked, Sludgefeast, Little Fury Things, In a Jar
Husker Du - Pink Turns To Blue, Whatever, Divide and Conquer, Back from Somewhere, Diane, Something I Learned Today, Newest Industry, New Day Rising, The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill, Somewhere, What's Going On,
Replacements - Bastards of Young, Left of the Dial, Takin' A Ride,
The Who - A Quick One (While He's Away), Substitute, Happy Jack, Won't Get Fooled Again, Heinz Baked Beans
Led Zeppelin - The Immigrant Song, Rock and Roll
Kinks - Victoria
Queen - All Dead
Rush - Limelight, 2112 (overture), Red Barchetta
Neil Young - Powderfinger
Van Halen - Hot for Teacher
Police - Synchronicity II, Message in a Bottle
Def Leppard - Let it Go, Photograph
Pixies - Debaser
Pavement - Texas Never Whispers, Frontwards, Spit on A Stranger, Major Leagues, Stereo, Shady Lane, We Dance
Genesis - Supper's Ready (at least 6 or 7 minutes of it)
Guided by Voices - Motor Away
Yo La Tengo - Deeper Into Movies
The Muppets theme song
Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Women
Kiss - Detroit Rock City
Beatles - Abbey Road Medley


That's somewhere around 50, and nowhere near 100. Let that be a lesson - I will never meet or exceed your expectations.
