I'm wondering how many people have found Mastodon because of the metal band Mastodon - I certainly have heard of the social media platform because I was searching for something band related a few years ago 😁
Also RIP #brenthinds :(

I’m having a whale of a time listening to Mastodon right now
(You see… because… )
I think other than Hearts Alive (from Leviathan), The Last Baron is my favourite song of theirs.
When I think of the truly great and epic songs, The Last Baron is right up there.
A 13 minute musical journey that goes everywhere.
Listening to ‘Crack The Skye’ by Mastodon.
I think this is a phenomenal album. In my mind the two long tracks (The Czar & The Last Baron) are the standouts, but I do really love the more traditional songs too.
There’s something about the album that makes it feel timeless. Like the songs are carved into monoliths that will outlast the universe. I might be talking rubbish, but this one feels special.
"My love, so strong
Washing the dirt away
As the snakes all go to their holes
My love, so strong
Bathing in turpentine
Until the flesh and bone come undone
My love, so strong
Deflecting the thoughts of strangers
To reach the other side
My love, so strong
The mountains we made in the distance
Those will stay with us"
Rest in Power, Brent. \m/
