To Remember Or Not To Remember?

Staring to think that the whole Skye Rememberence Day project was a bad idea. We’ve only received two letters so far, and both of them were prematurely approved by other mods before the September 1st approval date. In other words, as per usual, I was expecting too much out of everyone. Do you still want to do this, or does it not matter?

Hey Brann, I have a subscription to Decibel magazine and I read the article about your guy’s new album and the meaning of Crack the Skye. I kind of kick my self in the ass for not looking into the meaning of the album earlier haha, but it’s honestly beautiful. Now this is coming from a 19 year old guy, though with some serious depression and anxiety. I’ve been a big fan of the...

Thanks for taking interest in my painting, the one with the God tier music in it haha. It was a birthday gift for the bf and he was just as excited as me to see it on here :] It was definitely one of my best pieces and I am glad you enjoyed it as well. submission from Desimiss

Submission Guidelines + Project Reminder

…to mods and others: PLEASE don’t approve any more submissions for Skye Remembrance Day until September 1st. There needs to be an easier way for the four of us to all be on the same page. I’ve had at least three or four miniature headaches due to mod decisions in the past week. But for everyone else: You can still submit your letters for the project here: ...

There have been countless times where music has saved my life, but no band has done so as much or quite as literally as Mastodon. I remember the first time I heard them. My first job was at a dealership. I spent every day delivering parts for hours on end, with hardly any human interaction. It was pretty damn rough at times. I also got my first girlfriend around the same time, so most of my nights...

Fuck/Marry/Kill - Mastodon Edition

Let’s have a little good fun on this site with a popular Tumblr meme - who in Mastodon would you fuck, who would you marry, and who would you kill? You can only use a member once! For instance, I would: Fuck Troy Marry Brann Kill Bill (Only because of my Tarantino fetish; haha). The surviving member has to make burritos for everyone - GET ON IT, BRENT. Who are your choices?

Anonymous asked: Hey, I think it's great what you're doing with the letters to Brann thing. I wrote something and tried to submit it, but the link didn't work and i wasn't sure where to send it. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

WE JUST HIT 1,000 FOLLOWERS! Thanks, Everybody!

What's your opinion of "Curl of the Burl"?

Yes, this is a very, very different direction our boys have gone in. Yes, that is Brann singing lead, and yes, it’s about 3 minutes long and very catchy with a QOTSA vibe. With all that aside, judge the song by itself and not in conjunction with what Mastodon have done in the past. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, do you love it or hate it? I think this is probably the song...
