  • New Mastodon Album Inspired By A Punch In The Head

    Blabbermouth reports that the new Mastodon album was inspired by a head injury. I’m not making shit shit up: MASTODON guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds has told RollingStone.com that the origins of the group’s forthcoming fourth album can be traced to the pavement in front of the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas.

What is the point of having the Special Olympics set up as a "competitive event" if everyone wins a medal regardless of their performance?

  • Mastodon “Blood Mountain”

    I hesitated for nearly a full year before finally giving Mastodon’s latest full length offering Blood Mountain a listen.
