It's time to die!

The best news you've heard all day is that John Maus has finally released an album. It is called Songs, and almost no matter what songs are on it, it's guaranteed to be great. You may never come across this CD or record in your daily life, but I am buying it from them directly as a preemptive measure. John Maus ran the great, minimal and mysterious Demonstration Bootleg website/"label?" with Ariel Pink; I've met him on a couple of occasions, played experimental music with him in Eagle Rock, and he seemed like a right good bloke. His songs are stellar and just about as unique as Mr. Pink's.

Some other good news is that I just got a copy of the ballbearings pinatas compilation (LONG AWAITED!) in the mail today, entitled From U.S. to I. I humbly submit that the eclectic tracklist paints a pretty fantastic portrait of what we at bbp are doing. I will surely post when it is available for sale.
