I'm just going to copy and paste the email from the CDR mailing list:
We are proud as can be to present to the world...the newest LP from the Bassholes - Boogieman Stew
A lot of bands mellow with age. It's so prevalent among punk bands, that it's become pretty much a joke. Nervous initiates, the world over, when trying to appear cool or in-the-know, have fallen back on this "rule" for at least a couple decades now. The claim, "Eh, I like their early stuff" has wafted through the air of a million shitty parties, insoluble in a cloud of beer stink, in a hundred different languages. I digress. Point is, in the case of the bassholes, this is patently fucking false. The Bassholes, eschewing the trope above, seem to change with the world at large, getting stranger and meaner, as the environment dictates. A two-headed monster, evolving in the fallout, into a mutant beast screeching and echoing the cacophony of western life in the year after the world was supposed to end. It's been 13 years since their debut and the bassholes are definitely weirder and more dangerous than ever (their music's pretty strange, too - har, har, har). Greener pastures of the post-Bush years are revealed to be just more scorched earth, and our two-headed monster gets ready to trudge thru the radioactive swamps of the tomorrow. Better wear some boots...

Columbus Discount Records has a new Bassholes record (Boogieman Stew) coming out on April 23rd. It is the core group of Don Howland and Bim Thomas, but there are rock luminaries guesting on the record including Ellen Hoover, of the Gibson Bros, Damon Stryviant of Puffy Aerolas, Tom and Dave Shannon of the Cheater Slicks. As is typical with us these days, all analog, all handmade everything, done at CDR and Musicol over 3 or 4 years.
...so which distros are holding? CDR doesn't ship outside the U.S. I need this.
