and have you actually ever purchased any john maus mp3s/records/cds/anything? perhaps it is you that owes him.

He must have! He's listened to Songs more than everybody else here remember!

yeah, i'm serious.!, but i never bought it. i got it around 2006 and it was on a cdr and i didn't even know it was released until a year later. i've really, listened to it a lot. it was on soulseek along with love letters from hell and i want to live! which i also listened to a lot. i was really into all that stuff along with ariels stuff and vibe central and super creep and geneva and bubonic and etc...

... a lot of people here had Songs in 2006, listened to Super Creep, Julia Shammas Holter, R. Stevie, Ariel and bought their Human Ear related stuff. Nothing new dude.

I haven't heard the leak, and so I don't know the quality of the recordings. I hope that it isn't the unmastered stuff going around, and if it is then it's a little unfair to be writing off an album. Personally I think it's great, and has some killer tracks. There were a couple of other tracks that I thought were standout and should have made the cut, "I don't eat human beings" being one of them for sure, but on a whole the album is solid and will get a lot of airplay!

yeah, i'll just leave that alone, it's a worthless thing to have assumed, and, yeah, everything that's out there is mastered. if it wasn't mastered it'd still be on his computer separated into a bunch of different tracks.

[pinkspoons]

the stuff floating around is a 256 kbs rip of the album.

its kinda mind blowing how anyone could not find this to be aoty. mastered or not.

the quality of the leak i've downloaded is terrible, sounds like 'songs' quality without the intention, you know? a lot of this reminds me of animal collective, like 'street light'. i guess he's in with them so...fffff?...the crucifix sounds like john singing a geneva J song...'cop killer' is the only one i like, it's pretty bad ass, he's pushing it with that one, like fuck yeah, that's where it's at....i liked 'keep pushing on' in the youtube videos, but i don't like this recording i've got of it...already heard 'matter of fact'...i hate head for the country. i've never gone to a JM show and don't know the crowds that go, but i imagine it's a lot of hoppin' boppin' college tweenies and i think this album is for them. it'd be kool if there was an album of 'cop killer' going back to the 'songs' aesthetic -tascam 688, is that what he used -.., but whatever and ffff....shit.

this is what i got:

well, we could be both stop speculating if john came into this and addressed the meaning of the song. in his interview he's very indirect and seemingly manic and a stuttering dodging void

Have you considered the idea that he may actually want his music to be open to different, personal interpretations by the people listening to it?

yeah, i do expect him to address his fans. he capitalizes off of his fans

In what sense?

it's like, let's go to a john maus show, i heard there are sexy girls that attend and a bar, we can have fun

LOL all the Maus gigs I've been to have been mostly full of weird-looking dudes

if john maus isn't speaking for anyone he shouldn't address any public political issues, like, 'gays' or, 'money' or any of that shit.

What if he's speaking for himself

[liam]

Also buy his records you fucking cheapskate
