I have been rockin' out to Mastodon in the workshop for quite some time - Blood Mountain is on high rotation on the CD player. One of the few contemporary metal bands who can totally foot it with the classics. At risk of offending the purists, I think metal and tiki make a pretty good mix. Shot BK! Now what's new?

I still consider "fix my head" the greatest punk rock song ever written...

Hey, Paip, sorry, brah-lost my thread in the shuffle. I knew Brent briefly from before as a tiki carver...met him at the Mai Kai, Kiliki introduced me and we actually hit it off, walked around and gawked and compared notes on the carvings. He's a pretty damned good tiki carver. That piece is the next to last recent bone piece I carved. We had talked about a neck piece at the Mai Kai. Brent came out and stayed here at Club Dave while Mastodon was in town with Brian Posehn and I delivered it then. Had a f'in blast. Probably drank too much.

There goes the neighborhood! I just noticed that Basement Kahuna is now an official Google search prompt! Fight this now before the property values go down too far! Utterly crazy, man.

You can see a lot of it on Myspace.com, just search Basement Kahuna. Wish I had more time to post, but don't.
