While the message board itself may have gone a.w.o.l. the compilation we were in the middle of making at the time of its demise will live on. For an unknowingly final compilation we did a fine job if I do say so myself. Joe Pug, fresh off his appearance on songs:illinois yesterday, makes an appearance for a second month in a row while Stucky and I both contributed tracks from Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. Mcallan1 submitted a track by Hayes Carll I liked so much I ordered his cd today. Considering Miles of Music’s slow shipping department expect a piece on Hayes’ album, Trouble in Mind, sometime in the fall. As an aside I gotta say, I miss the board and it’s regulars. Hopefully we’ll get it back in the near future and until then I bid y’all a farewell.
Below is a mere track listing for ninebullets.net readers while after the cut is the entire track listing with which member submitted it and why for the message board readers. If the track listing appeals to you feel free to download it here.

THE WHO’S, WHATS AND WHYS:
Joseph Plunket & The Weight - Seven Stories EP
Seven Stories
“Several free CDs came with my stickfigure order of the original Attic Tapes. This was one of the CDs. It felt like an unexpected birthday present. Happy Birthday, Loststar.” - scruvs
Olin & The Moon - Pickin Up The World
“My selections this month are from Olin and the Moon~because they’re new to the board, they’re too modest to submit their own stuff, and if I don’t they won’t ever stop cyber stalking me! ; ) Enjoy our new friends from Silverlake…cause they’re good” - Maggie
The Who - Quadrophenia
5:15
“Look folks..say all you want about The Beatles and The Stones…they are sacred cow acts that will never be slapped around like they should from time to time…at least until the scourge of babyboomers exits the mainstage of planet earth…so until then keep drinking the koolaid and smile because you are in the cool-kids party and can ride that shit without much turbulance along the way…however…if you find yourself with the firm belief that no band could match the total package of Townshend/Moon/Daltrey/Entwhistle nor did anyband in that era EVER COME CLOSE TO ROCKING THE HOUSE as The Who…then you are not alone. Of course nothing pains me more than to see the first band I ever was truly obsessed over have to be sold off to CSI and Bruckheimer….he can have those 3…this is one of the best Who songs ever.” - JacksonDavis
Slim Cessna’a Auto Club - Cipher
This Land Is Our Land Redux
“The fact that these guys ain’t huge is an indictment of every level of the American music industry/scene.” - Autopsy IV
Thin Lizzy - Black Rose: A Rock Legend
Got To Give It Up
“I only listen to Thin Lizzy now. I’m serious.” - Snodgrass
Chuck Prophet - Dreaming Waylon’s Dream
I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving
“Speaking of the fucking Beatles…one of the biggest insults of the past 25 years was having the world almost come to a standstill in a We Are The World group mouring over the passing of George Harrison…6 inch letters on cnn.com…for what exactly I have no idea…having to have Here Comes The Sun pop in my head from time to time like a migrane should be enough punishment. So when Waylon Jennings dies after Sir George….no national day of mouring or Dan Rather getting weepy…total snub which is almost as bad as Shakespeare In Love winning best picture over Saving Private Ryan.” - JacksonDavis
Blanche - If We Can’t Trust The Doctors…
Jack On Fire
“A mind blowing cover of The Gun Club’s “Jack On Fire”. Spooky and swampy… a delicious springtime song perfect for those wet days when the setting sun
is red in the evening sky.” - LoserChris
Fireside - Uomini D’onore
Layer
“This might be my favorite song ever, and it’s definitely my favorite song from Sweden. This is the one I’d put on every comp for every occasion. Fireside used to be a Quicksand knock-off (an EXCELLENT Quicksand knock-off), but they departed and came of their own on this record.” - mattmeister
Hayes Carll - Roots On The River Festival
Easy Come Easy Go
“An amazing story of right place, wrong fucking time.” - mcallan1
Cory Morrow - Full Exposure Live
Straight To Hell
submitted by RodeoClown
Big Bill Broonzy - Where The Blues Began
How Do You Want It Done?
“I dig Big Bill, and it’s just dumb luck that I ever heard about him. Maybe I can be somebody else’s dumb luck. Besides, I think the old delta blues songs usually work really well with the other stuff on our comps.” - Boston Twang
Black Mountain - In The Future
Angels
submittted by The Ugly Spirit
Possessed by Paul James - Cold And Blind
Ferris Wheel
“Cause it’s a fucking beautiful song. No production to cloud it’s beauty. Just a guitar, a stomp box and emotion.” - Autopsy IV
Two Cow Garage - Please Turn The Gas Back On - Wait
“Back in the days of the old-new board before the pornbots gang raped anything with a pulse I had posted a thread asking for record sugguestions as I wanted to drop some cash on a bunch of shit I hadn’t heard before. Mattmeister has suggested this album and from what I recall labeled it “”An Alt-Country Dickstomp”"..I was of course sold since it was such a pleasant description…however I could only get my hands on The Walls Against Our Backs and III hadn’t been released yet..I totally loved these boys from the first song…late last year they reissued this baby and I have to say that mattmeisters description was dead on. This song is meant to be played loud so don’t be a pussy.” - JacksonDavis
My Morning Jacket - Live Austin Texas 2003
War Begun
“I’d expect to see MMJ in these comps, but so far nada. I can only conclude everyone here is already fully aware of this band. So here’s an awesome electric version of this MMJ classic. Probably the best version I’ve ever heard.” - stucky
Joe Pug - EP
Hymn # 101
“I like him..so he gets a 2 month run on the comp and this song if rife with excellent lryics which I am a sucker for like Tom Sizemore is a sucker for crack.” - JacksonDavis
Dave Alvin - A Case For Case (Tribute to Peter Case)
On My Way Downtown
“On a big Dave Alvin kick lately, he did this song better than the original” - noteethleroy
Catfish Haven - Tell Me
Crazy For Leaving
“Anybody who’s seen these guys doesn’t really need a reason to include one of their songs on a comp. But if I did need a reason, it would be that we just had our first truly spring-like day in Boston and this song makes me feel the same way the first warm sunny day of the year does. I think I’ve heard other people describe this feeling as “happy”‘ - Boston Twang
Red Clay River - Too Poor To Die
Rattlesnake Mountain
“This record hitched a ride from Virginia to Florida and ended up at a Mason Dixon Disaster/The Wading Girl/Holidaysburg show before I scooped it up. That’s a good group of nice folks. Just another murder tune.” - scruvs
Olin and The Moon - Call Me Up
“I have been totally wearing the tunes from these boys that Maggie sent in earlier this month…I’m saving the third one for May. I REALLY like ‘em!” - JacksonDavis
Slim Cessna’s Auto Club - Always Say Please And Thank You
Pine Box
“Someone mentioned this band in some other thread a while ago and I came across this track while sampling some of their music. It’s just fun to listen to.” - stucky
Bryn Loosley - The Wrecker
“The title tune from my old bandmate’s new CD” - noteethleroy
Earl Lee Grace - Blackgrass
Every Girl In The World
“This is from Blag Dahlia’s bluegrass side project. That’s right Blag from the Dwarves put out a bluegrass album and it’s pretty darn good. It’s called Blackgrass if you want to track it down.” - SxPxDxCx
Radiohead - Nobody Does It Better
“Carly Simon for hipsters. I’m going to attach an odd cover to the monthlies for a while until I run out. Here’s one.” - mattmeister
Chris Bell - I Am The Cosmos
I Am The Cosmos
“One of the saddest songs I have ever heard. A rainy day delight. Chris Bell was in BIG STAR and his solo album is gorgeous. THE DRAMS do an awesome cover
of this live.” - LoserChris
Chatham County Line - IV
Let It Rock
“My husband described these guys as ” one of the next great American bands” (http://radiondn.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/chatham-county-line-iv/), and he correctly predicted that I would request this one for the Lucero Comp. I could swear someone on this board has emoted about these guys before, but I searched and I couldn’t find anything. Spooky…” - The Ugly Spirit
Michael Haaga - Plus And Minus Show
Serious
“A metal head friend turned me on to this. It is a nice little number from the old singer of the legendary Texas thrash metal band Dead Horse. This is what he is up to these days. Pretty cool stuff. It’s from the his CD called Plus And Minus Show. Not metal at all.” - SxPxDxCx
Clem Snide - End Of Love
Weird
“This song has been making me smile lately.” - Girl Named Go
