It’s been a few months since I wrote about the monthly compilations we put together over on the Lucero message board but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been doing them. 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.

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.

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.
We missed last month’s mixtape…hell, in all honesty, I missed a lot of stuff last month but things have returned to their equilibrium and a comfortable routine is returning to my life. With the routine comes the return of the monthly Lucero message board mixtape post. This month’s is coming online just in time for me. I am 3 days from hopping on an airplane and heading up to Minneapolis for The Deep Blues Festival for 4 days od whiskey, lies and punkass blues…While I am physically still here in St. Petersburg, mentally I already have one foot out the door…Today I’ve been making the list of stuff that needs to get loaded on the iphone for the trip. At the top of that list? Lucero July mixtape.

The Lucero Message Board has made a triumphant return and the regular posters are beginning to wander back in. By next month everything will be back to normal. The May compilation was made while the message board was still down. This time around it included folks from the Drag the River message board as well. Unfortunately, I did not get in on the submissions for the May comp so I’m like you…a mere listener. One fella that has really stood out to me is Roger Alan Wade. He has two tracks from his new cd, Stoned Traveler, featured on the comp and those were enough to prompt me to buy the cd.
You can d/l the entire comp here and you can check out the official comp. thread over on the message board for track by track commentary.

I am a sucker for a mashup, so when I saw this entry over on BoingBoing today I had to check into it.
I’m not a big fan of Rench as a band. I think it’s too gimmicky and aside from that I just don’t think they are very good but they managed to do a very interesting job with this mashup of Underground hip-hop vocals with Rench beats and tons of uncleared samples from early bluegrass, folk ballads, and blues as well as some modern bluegrass as well.
They did a really awesome job putting it together. Unlike most mashups there really isn’t any point during these 22 tracks where the mix feels forced. I never would have thought the two genres would mesh so well.
Anyhow, they’re giving it away for free so check it out here (official) or here (torrent).
Anai - On Lock
T.O.N.E-Z - On the Run
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.

Over on the Lucero Message board, we have ushered in 2008 with one of our best comp efforts to date. I advise you to download it, pour yourself a whiskey drink while it comes down, then sit back and let the musical goodness wash over you like a warm buzz. You can head over to the Lucero Message board to see who submitted each track and a brief description of why they chose that specific track. You can even download it here for the next 2 weeks or so. If you enjoy it, sign up for the message board and contribute to the February comp.
Track listing:
Here it is. The final post of 2007 for ninebullets.net. The rest of this year will be reposts of posts from the year starting with a repost of my favorite show this year…that will come later this morning. Then next week will be a countdown of my favorite albums this year.
We are gonna close out this year with the Lucero Message board December comp. It didn’t have a designated theme of Christmas, but some of that ol’ yultide spirit managed to slip in there. You can head over to the Lucero Message board to see who submitted each track and a brief description of why they chose that specific track. You can download it here for the next 2 weeks or so. If you enjoy it, sign up for the message board and contribute in the January comp.
