Hope this person is okay.

Old Labels Story

Hello! Another disclosure from Robert Stevens Mango here! Rich told me he thinks it would be a good idea to write a story from our past here on the blogspot, so that's what I'm going to do...

I'm going to tell you about the story that definately turned us on to music in the first place, me and Rich are roommates (and have been since 2007) and back in the day we were in contact with a bootleg guy, he'd sell albums on CDs and whatnot, he carried them all around in a big binder with draft titles all over them, sometimes they weren't the right labels but we always got something interesting to listen to: but one time we bought something from him it was a P!NK album that we had both been wanting to listen to, and this night was special in that we went out together and got drinks (we usually stay inside all day and listen to cds) so we were kind of drunk on this beer called "Venom beer", as we were listening to the first few songs we thought we heard that it sounded totally different and all the drums were replaced with this weird polyryhtmic snare rhythm and we noticed a lot of the instruments now sounded like snakes, and it was like a snake cover version of this P!INK album, and we've always wondered where the hell that bootleg man got the disc from...






















This is my artists interpretation of what the CD used to look like, I made this in photoshop, but honestly the memory is very hypnotic and blurry, I always remember a pair of clutching fangs pouring purple poison though...

It was a very funny time for me and Rich, it was :-) We used to sit around the cd player with coors beers and listen to it for fun; any oracle could've told me having a roomate was the truest way to be happy....

Peace, everyone, and they'll be more news from the BBJNRJR crew soon I'm sure: I've been putting the effort in to find some of those old cds! Me and Rich have been talking about releasing osmething we found frmo the old works of (2009) titled 'Silver Surfer'

Era

Welcome to the 8th edition of the March games. A thing happened today.
Specifically, another thing unearthed.
You can have it.
I don't remember what it is or who made it, but yeah.
Artist provided a description:
"Opening up the polycrystal coated gate to reveal a helix of twirling extraterrestrial dust shooting from the pearl beneath her dark gloves"
Well, that sounds like something!
Not much to say about this one. Freaky ambient loops.
Thanks, bye.

Surprise

Welcome to the 7th edition of the March games. 
I'm your host Rich Entango and well..
Okay, maybe I should drop that.
But yeah. all jokes aside.
Got something truly rare. A CD I gave out with every other 3 purchases.
"Wait, what do you mean got?"
Uh well. It just arrived on my doorstep today. A loyal customer mailed a copy to me and gave me a note with the package:

"Hey Rich. Good luck on your restoration efforts. Have this CD back. You accidentally sent me two but I never talked to you about it. Until now it's just been laying around. Tell Robert I said hi."

All that aside, enjoy. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it.
Oh yeah, one last thing. My own info from the description of the bandcamp upload:
'This arrived at my doorstep. Forgot about this till now. A customer at the time sent it to me. This was a bonus CD I gave out with every 3 purchases. You might get a kick out of it. I don't know what to do with it aside from just share. -Rich Entango"



Alright. Thanks again.
-Rich.

Preview Disk - Hold Tight! (2012)

I was suggested that I should space out the digital drops and possibly have dedicated posts for each release.
Promised this earlier today, so you can have it. 
Let the games continue.


Today I also found a note that was included with the original run.

"Hello! Congratulations. This is a rare copy of the musical ripped contents of the "Hold Tight!" laserdisc, now on CDr."

I was shipped the CDr copy of the demo in a package. The sender listed their email address and I emailed them about it. Said that I liked it. The note came with my own label run, but as for the note that I got with the original package, you can have an excerpt. The rest of the details here are pretty personal things like an email address and a phone number. Sorry for my intensely obtuse explanation.

"Hello! Congratulations. This is a rare copy of the musical ripped contents of the "Hold Tight!" laserdisc, now on CDr. If you at BBJNRJ have any interest, please do put this out, eventually."

Thanks again.
Rich Entango

UPDATE

Morning.

As you may be aware, my colleague Robert announced a few things. One of them has been inspected and ready for release.

Hold Tight! by Preview Disk (2012)

Very of its own time. A collection of synths, guitars, drum loops put on top of each other in a single 30 min track. Got no info on this one aside from that. Will likely drop it later today.

Thanks again
Rich Entango

Impatience

Impatience gets the best of all of us sometimes, doesn't it?

I was considering holding back the releases, but there is no real reason for that. I'd wager these deserve to be heard as soon as possible.

Here's 3 of the things we promised. Physicals down the line.

Let the games begin.



Making this move was necessary in order to find out if there's even really interest in this stuff, even if it ruins the mystique of not knowing what any of this is.

We're likely going to unearth most things digitally first and foremost.

Thanks again
Rich Entango



ADDENDUM

Hello all.

Most of the things Robert announced in the last post haven't been completely inspected or ready for release. Hell, we don't even know the titles or what those CDs even contain.

Moving on, BBJNRJ has done other things aside from music. Films, literature, still visual art. That may surface eventually.

And as for Cool Dogs and other things I've promised, I swear I'm working on it. It's just taking a while.

All will surface eventually.

Have a nice day
Rich Entango

CAMERA! LIGHTS! ACTION! BBJRJR UPDATE


Hello again!

Know things have been mostly kept vague, but yes, we're working on getting the Cool Dogs CDs out. Another item added to the catalogue of upcoming/unearthed things is... this thing!

Live at the Eastern Hills by Magazines

I have no idea what this one really is or who made it, only thing I have is this note that came with it.

"This has travelled many miles and to whoever finds it: Congratulations! It's in your hands now. Magazines was/is (who knows at this time?) a band founded by [smudged] in 2011. This recording is from the legendary Eastern Hills show in Vermont, in a field somewhere, on the 21st of December, 2012. It's not much but hey we're proud of it. Magazines was disbanded a few albums after recording this. If you do happen to find this, please reach out at [phone number edited out for privacy reasons] and we could talk from there, hopefully it still works by the time you find this. There is no real reason you may have it, maybe we like your label and wanted to send you a demo, or you just happened to have it. It's yours now, though.... Upload to the Internet, use it as you will, share with the world. Well then, take care!"

Another item added to the catalogue is...
Lunchtime Temples by Firewood (Noah of Cool Dogs)

Noah himself reached out with updated art because he didn't like the original cover very much but he still gave me permission to share. This means this edition will be completely fresh. Low on printer ink at the moment, but oh well!
Original cover for Lunchtime Temples.

All of these are coming... eventually.

Thank you for your patience!
