Saturday: Mastodon - Oblivion

     Word on the street is that new Mastodon is being readied for the world, and while I'm not one of those people with a serious hate on for The Hunter, I certainly would prefer something a little more reminiscent of, say, Crack the Skye.

     That's why we're going with a song off Crack the Skye tonight, in the hopes the metal gods will hear us and look kindly upon us. Specifically, I can't get around choosing album opener "Oblivion", simply because it blew my fucking mind the first time I heard it, kicking down the door to my brain so the rest of the album could charge in unimpeded. If you've got the time tonight, put this one on and then just let the record play.

Mastodon - Stargasm

     Super quick post tonight, because it's late, I'm tired, and I have to be up in like four hours or so for work. So, yeah.

     Mastodon's The Hunter has taken a while to grow on me, and it's still not my favourite record by the band, but I definitely feel a lot more love for it now than when it was released. To that end, you're getting "Stargasm" as your song this evening. Put it on and then lie down and look at the sky, or something similarly stargasmy.
