Brent Hinds died in a motorcycle accident.

as someone who a. wasn't even really listening to Mastodon anymore after "once more..." and therefore b. wasn't even seriously paying that much attention to what's gone on since he left the band, this is shocking.

When I moved to Philadelphia for school in 1999, a website called "pahardcore . com" (hi Chris) had a huge role in me getting acquainted with the city and it's music scene.

I was on South Street one day in, i wanna say, 2000, and I ran into two of the people I met through that site, and they're like "we're going to the Troc, there's a show"....and i just went along.

Mastodon played this show (Total Fucking Destruction opened, remember them?), in the Balcony at the Troc (also gone now).

This is when Lifesblood was about to drop. They were still playing the stuff from Call of the Mastodon. All gang vox all the time, just unfuckwithable.

I saw them a couple of times at that venue.

It's sad they will never get to patch up whatever differences they had. . .

- how exactly does one train their Instagram algorithm?

Well, I don't know. You tell me.

For a long time, it was only sending me videos about cooking...which is great.

Then it added on sketch comedians...which is also great.

Every so often it will get on a strak of sending me music, and a shocking amount of it will be good.

Predatory Void was an IG find, Rile was an IG find, Home Front was an IG find.

...and so are these

Leaker are from Australia.

Think Young Widows, Breather Resist and KEN Mode. It's that kind of thing.

This is what you hope a band will sound like when somebody says "mathcore"....at least if you're over 35. 😅

Latter are from Chicago.

Think Made Out of Babies, Cadaverette and/or Shadow of Bedlam. It's that kind of thing.

I would have eaten this right up at 15. I love it now, but at 15 when I was all about Excuse 17 and Sleater-Kinney? double.

- I finished vocals for the new THÆTAS album 2 weeks ago. You'd think "okay, you have time to make some posts and promote the new 0decathexis0 album coming September 19th".

What did I do?

start rerecording mad old shit (while also promoting the 0decathexis0 album coming September 19th)
