Just wish the MastoDudes were in the video too, but this is pretty damn cool.

What's the true meaning of OCTOPUS HAS NO FRIENDS? I know there's something behind this song.
My guess is that the song is about the sort of guilt/sadness associated with being separated from loved ones while out on tour. After all the shows and all the partying, etc., it just feels good to know that you’re on your way back home.
Another Letter From The Webmaster.
Dora here once again. Seeing as how our MastoDuders are with their families and getting some much needed rest right now, there’s isn’t a whole lot of new content to add. They definitely deserve this time off. My original intent was to spend some time in Atlanta this summer and hopefully hang with the guys on a couple of occasions, but a major obstacle has gotten in the way of that: I am in the worst financial mess of my entire life.
A little over a month ago, I lost my job as an English Tutor and have been unable to find other work. The job market is awful right now, and out of the dozens of places I’ve sent a resume to, only one company contacted me back, only to give the position to another candidate. Currently, I am around $1700 in debt. I can’t afford to buy basic items like groceries, and I’m being harassed by a collection agency wanting $90 for a bill I can’t pay. In other words, I am beyond broke. My mom has been demoted on her job and my boyfriend is in the same financial mess that I’m in, so nobody around me can really help out.
As much as I really hate to ask for favors out of FYM followers, it would really mean a lot to me if readers of this blog could donate some money to help me and my loved ones out. You don’t have to donate a huge amount of money; any small amount you can spare will help tremendously. This is just until I can find work again and will be able to support myself. Contrary to what some people might think, I don’t get paid for running this blog or for running my main music blog - it’s for free and a labor of love. This isn’t a job for me, it’s a hobby. I need a job, but until I get one, it would mean a lot to me if those of you who keep up with this site could throw a few dollars my way.
If you would like to donate money, please click to the main page of my blog and click the “donate” button on the bottom of the right-hand sidebar, or you can simply click here to funnel money into my PayPal account. Thank you in advance to anybody who can help a sister out and make her feel a little less worried about how her bills are going to be paid. When I’m in better shape financially, I will gladly reward those of you who donated with some sort of goodies - don’t know what yet, but I’ll try to have something fun and unique to give. Be patient with me ^^’
