This week, typically, is very busy/difficult for me. I’ve just come off a 5 day college football bender and over the next 3 days I have to do 2 fantasy football drafts and submit three lineups prior to Thursday night. Good times are ahead though. Good times indeed. NFL kicks off this week and my Seminoles will take the field on Saturday in one of the few “sure things” on their schedule.

Last week the monthly Lucero Message Board compilation was released. Of all the comps we’ve done this is the best one we’ve ever done so far as aligning with my musical palate. As always, you can head over to the Lucero message board for some dialog on why each song was submitted and while you’re there you can contribute to next months. Here is the tracklisting:

  • Journey – Stone In Love
  • Frank Black & The Catholics – Coastline
  • Todd Snider – Just Like Old Times

Also, last week the new It Burns When I Pee was launched on their brand new It Burns When I Pee website. This month’s topic is “Twang Ain’t Just A Guy Thang” and features music from Rachel Brooke, Star Anna, Elizabeth Cook, Carmen Lee, and Little Lisa Dixie. So head over to ibwip.com and give it a listen.

Speaking of podcasts. I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing an occasional ninebullets podcast. I even went so far as to purchase a microphone for the computer. Would anyone take any interest in that sort of thing if I were to start doing it? Hit me up on email.
