curl of the burl

I was thinking, this last weekend, as I was hiking up the side of a mountain. "I wonder if someone would dedicate an album to me If I fell over dead?" That is the story behind the title of the new Mastodon album. Brent Hinds' brother aledgedly died unexpectedly during a hunting trip last year...

I knew I was about to fall in love with the new Mastodon song when I listened for the first time and the songs starts "I killed a man cuz he killed my goat".  And the song does kick so much ass, 3 and a half minutes of pure rock goodness.  So I wasn't surprised at the awesomeness of the video for "Curl Of The Burl"...
