Mastodon/Feist Cover Art For Record Store Day 7" Revealed

  Mastodon and Feist have something special for 'Record Store Day' April 21st.  "Feistodon" will be a split 7" with Mastodon covering the Feist song 'A Commotion' and Feist covering Mastodon's 'Black Tongue'.

  In a interview with Sweden's Metalshrine, Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor explained the idea.  "We did [the BBC television show 'Later... With Jools Holland'], and right after we got off stage, we went backstage and we were in the hallway with [Feist], and she was talking to [Mastodon vocalist/guitarist] Brent Hinds].  They were involved in a conversation and were just like, 'Yeah, let's do that! We should do it for Record Store Day!'  Something out of left field and something we'd like to be involved with more of."

  "It's fun for us.  I mean, most times we end up doing covers of bands that are already sort of heavy or that is already in that vein, like the Melvins, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, you know what I mean?  What are you gonna do to those songs to make them your own? It's kinda difficult and especially with stuff like Metallica or the Melvins where we're so kinda familiar and in love with the versions that Metallica and the Melvins and Thin Lizzy have created, you wanna make it sound like theirs because that's what you're so used to hearing.  You don't really wanna mess with it.  With Feist, it's something that we could really play with and do something different with."  Said Dailor.

 

Mastodon Guitarist Says He Is The Victim Of A eBay Germany Scam

Bill Kelliher, guitarits for the metal band Mastodon says he was the victim of a online scam.  He posted this message on Mastodon's official Facebook page:

"I recently sold a guitar on eBay to a kid in Germany. Now, long story short, he didn't like the guitar so asked for a refund. I gladly said, 'Send the item back and i will give you a refund. Well, he opened a case, somehow eBay Germany decided in his favor and refunded his money, WITHOUT EVER SENDING THE ITEM BACK!!!!!! Real cool, eBay. So when I opened an appeal to the decision, they asked him to send the item to me. He sent me an empty box!!! And I can do nothing now. eBay claims he sent the item back even though I have the receipts showing when I mailed it to him, it weighed 27 lbs. and when he sent it back, it weighed 11 lbs. They don't wanna hear it.

"ANY HELP????? Anyone affiliated with eBay Germany???"


Mastodon begins touring again overseas in January on there latest album 'The Hunter'.  Mastodon are nominated for a grammy for their first single 'Curl of the Burl' off the new album.
