just found your album in some hidden corner of itunes, and realised i all kinds of missed it. and that you guys should still eventually get to ohio, eff hiatus.
I bought your guys album the mastadon along time ago but lost, I was wondering if I could get another copy. I'd be willing to send out some cash for it so let me know.
SUUUUBUUURRRRNNNNAAAAAAA!!!! I miss your dudes rockin, hey fellers one time jed was all drunk playin a show at kraftbrau and he was playin a maraca and he got done and so he just tossed that fucker in to the crowd and it konked me on my dome peice and every one pointed and laughed i was so ashamed i threw up and then ate my throw up, it was a sweet show
man, michigan misses you guys. i miss hearing the breakdown at the end of Operative Title live, gets me every time. and that riff in He and We, genius. i hope you guys are still making music over in oregon. you're still my favorite band!
umm, please tell me you guys aren't going to stop making music. over the past year, i can't tell you how many times i've listened to the mastodon. it's really made an impact on me and i would hate to see all that musical talent go to waste. much love from northeastern pennsylvania.
hey i miss you guys, i miss your laugh, i miss your smell, your far out riffs, neat outfits, talk of ice cube, i think we should get an apartment together or you should come play in my kitchen again...otss-only the strong survive
