In lieu of photos or schoolwork, I bring you music videos. "Masto-don" comes from the Greek words for breast and tooth, and this video comes from the band Mastodon. In case you weren't into dinosaurs and stuff as a kid and are wondering why a band would call themselves "breast tooth" in Greek... mastodons were elephants that lived in north America a long time ago.

That's some pretty good prog. This song definitely sounds better than their older stuff. I remember really hating the vocals from their earlier albums. Someone needs to teach their guitarists what good vibrato sounds like, though.
ReplyDeleteLook up their more bearded guitarist on wikipedia. He's made a career of acting like a giant douche.
