Rest in power Brent Hinds. Mastodon are one of my favorite bands, and I was already despairing what they’d do without his incredibly singular playing style, not to mention his great vocals. But I assumed I would still get more music from the man in one of his other bands. No more, and life continues to take and take without any regard for what we want. I guess it’s always been that way, but for some reason it stings a little too much this time…

• Mastodon – “Once More ‘Round The Sun”
• Vago Sagrado – “How Come You’re Back”
• Andy Summers & Robert Fripp – “I Advance Masked”
• Derev – “Darker Self”
• Brent Hinds Presents Fiend Without A Face – “Black Grass”
• Akenathon – “Huellas”
• Datadyr – “South Of Midnight”
• Held By Trees – “Hinterland Soul”
• Mastodon – “The Last Baron”

A lot of instrumental music this week. Words seem inadequate.

Be safe, be good to each other. See you next week.
