Great job Mr. zsun!
Great theme. Nice selection of tunes.
Anytime somebody leans towards the Y'Alternative cuts of songs... I'm in!
#1 "I'm Gone" by Mack West the best one here for me. Reminded me of Orville Peck. Somebody I discovered in the last year.
#2 "Maneater" He taste like pig! Whew! Dang.
#5 "Meet Me in the Alley Way" A song from Tom Waits I've never heard before... What? Wait? A song from Steve Earle I've never heard before.
#6 "Hypnotist" I liked this one. The playing of those instruments just sounded right to me.
#7 "Sea of Tears" A R. Paradise artist. I like Eilen Jewell. Nice selection.
#8 "Beating Dead Horses" A bluesy one. Them blues... continue to give me... the blues.
#9 "Devil's Spoke" A Laura Marling song I recognize because it's played here on Paradise.
#10 "Disappear On Down the Line" A sad, sad song... but I like it!
#11 "John the Revelator" A blues song originally done by Blind Willie Johnson. The blues make me sad...
#12 "Ballad of Cable Hogue" Calexico! A French/ Hispanic theme. Who knew?
#14 "Aint No Easy Way" I always liked Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Thanks for adding this one in the mix.
#15 "Wanted Man" A soundtrack to a good ol' "Oater".
#18 "Evil Got A Hold" The theme of your C.D.! Who Cut One?
#19 "No Hero" Who is that artist played here on Paradise that sounds like a Russian singer? This reminds me of that guy.
#20 "Coal War" Sounds like a lost cut from O Brother Where Art Thou. It's good to the ears.
Well, I've heard of five of these artist. The rest were fresh to me.
Thanks for the introduction. And thanks for your work.

Since we were at 4 members we introduced Bye months. But now we have 5 so we can probably go back to a normal rotation.
If Steely wants June it's his. My May mix will probably go out by June 4.
Proposed lineup to close out the year
June - Steely D
July - Lazy 8
August - Kurt from LaQuinta
September - Miamizsun
October - ColdMiser
November - Bye month
December - Guest mix (maybe Kurster again, or perhaps Scott from Wyoming finishes the mix he's been working on the last few years)
Looks good!
Need an address to add Mr. D when you get the chance..
i enjoy a challenge and being in the mcc has inspired me to listen to a lot of different music
deciding what i think the group will find interesting is always fun
especially when i'm sending a selection out to individuals with at least fifty years of listening experience
this go round i did learn a couple of important things about my software
next effort should be a bit more polished sound wise
Overall I'm always amazed that our members consistently come up with artist's I've never heard of. Seems like the well is bottomless. This mix certainly is in that category. Like Lazy only 3 of the artists had crossed my path before. When I saw the mix title the first thing to come to mind was Duane Eddy. Thought for sure he would have made the cut. But what I got instead was a mix that really satisfied and had me toe tapping (at red lights anyway). Hot damn was this a good one. Highlights....
Mack West's I'm Gone just jumped right in and kept rolling along. Pulled me right in, co-favorite on the disc
Maneater was one hell of a story. The moral? Don't F**k around on your girl, you might end up in the freezer.
I've perused the Name my Band thread and am hard pressed to find Lullaby for the Working Class
Sea of Tears was pretty much the tried and true song recipe you've heard a million times, but Eilen Jewell still smoked it
Knew the Laura Marling track, hadn't heard it in sometime so it was fresh and still lovely.
Disappear on Down the Line sounds like it stepped out of the Crazy Heart soundtrack
So I know Calexico and I enjoy everything I hear from them so why don't I have any of their stuff in my collection...hmmm
The Leavening was quite theatrical, could have been a Broadway hit if Broadway did Twang
Psycho Mutants tied for favorite. Love the mix of genres and just a fun ass tune
Very impressed you banged this out as quick as you did, art work and all. Who's your Twang Daddy?

Welcome Aboard! If you feel up to it and want to dive right in we have an open slot for June. Although I am seriously lagging behind schedule on my May issue due to my regularly on going tech challenged issues. But a long weekend is ahead and I'm planning on getting something done for you guys.

Hey!
I resemble that remark.
Who knew a lowly drywall guy could show up a bunch of artsy, fartsy music lovers.
My wife teaches me psychology... because she tries to use it on me all the time.
Happy to get that recent one from miamizsun. And, happy to join into the fray. If this is a fray.
My current printer doesn't do CDs like the previous one did, but I won't let that stop me. Where's the mailing list and queue of who's doing what when?

Boy howdy did this work for me! Wish Sirdroseph was still on the distro, think this would have spoken to him too. Very much attuned to the Southern Thang.
Loved the theme, lots of new stuff to me, and the artwork was tasteful and fit the theme well. Think this one is gonna get a lot of spins at the ranch.
Only three artists I was familiar with, and only one song. So many strong cuts it's hard to pick favorites, but standouts were Greg Holden (great ballad, feels really relevant), Psycho Mutants (southern ska?), Joshua James, Blue Eyed Blonds, Mieka Pauley, Mojo Monkeys, and Laura Marling (such fine banjo!).
While I have zero complaints about the actual music mechanically the disc was not happy in my player. The center hole was off axis so the disc wobbled badly enough to rub on the interior of the player, and a couple of tracks were impossible to play thru. I'll try it in another when I get a chance.
glad you found a few nuggets and i still send sird my mixes
regarding the disc it sounds like a factory defect (sorry to hear this)
i buy discs in those 100 sleeves and now that you mention it on occasion some make more noise when burning
also i do a quick quality check for each disc (start each song briefly and forward to the next)
regards
