Anyway, fuck that
the new Mastodon album is out today, I pre-ordered it from Amazon a while back and it's been dispatched and is on it's way. But in my mind, if I pre-order something like that, I want it to arrive on the morning of the day of release.

So, I downloaded a copy last night and I'm listening to it now. It's totally okay that I broke the law last night because I paid for it today. That's how it works right?

Also I bought Empire: Total War off Steam. I know steam gets a lot of bad press, but I realy like it, I like being able to be at home and thinking, I want that game, and then you just buy it and a few hours later, it's downloaded on your computer.

Wow, this has got very Gonz-eque hasn't it. Last night the mrs made me Shepherds Pie. It was really good.

How is the Mastodon Album?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 11:15, Reply)

It's pretty good.
I don't think it's as good as Crack the Skye on first listen, but there is no overall concept for this one so I need to listen to it a few times to get into the songs.

Is "made me shepherd's pie" a euphemism?

No.
It's exactly what it sounds like. She made lamb and vegetables in a tomatoe sauce and then covered it with mashed potato.

OK, noted.
Just checking.

I know what you mean.
I pre-ordered a DVD because it was a couple of quid cheaper than if I'd bought it in the shops and it arrived a week and a fucking half after the release date.

Who are Mastodon, then?
I like their name. I assume they're some sort of popular beat combo?

They are awesome

They are a group of "hip cats" from Atlanta, Georgia.
They play loud music that makes your parents go "Hmmmm, what's this? It's got a good beat!"

I like the word "Mastodon"
Sounds like a wanking elephant.

It actually means breast tooth
Hang on...

Steam is excellent,
the only problem is that most the time games are cheaper from play.com with the manual and all that shit.

I wait for the weekend offers
I got the full Empire and Napoleon games with all the add ons for £10. Which is about 50p cheaper than you can get it on Amazon.

I got Portal for free last week, was rather pleased with that.

Surely red?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 11:39, Reply)

Mastodon are excellent on record, but I find that their newer stuff doesn't translate as well to live performance.
Although 'Blood And Thunder' is still excellent to hear live.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 11:31, Reply)

I saw them on the Crack the Skye tour
and it was fucking brilliant. I wouldn't want to see them do that at every performance, but everything I've heard them play off Blood Mountain when I've seen them before has sounded good too.
( Bazongaloid, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 11:39, Reply)

I've heard many others say the same as you
I just didn't enjoy it live as much as I did the album, sadly.
