not exactly Fort Knox

My name is Marty and I'm here to party.
Oh, and why Mass. Murdera? That was my rap name in 7th grade way back in '99. Get it? I'm from Massachusetts? Oh, yeah? Well fuck you, I still think that shit was pretty clever. I may have peaked in the 7th grade. So what?

Update From Baroness

hermitologist:

A horrifying, touching, sobering yet encouraging update from John Baizley of Baroness on the band’s bus accident. I’m glad to hear they’re on the mend, and can’t imagine what a life-altering experience this must have been (and continues to be).

“There was one moment in the crash that cut me deeply. For one heartbeat and one tiny sliver of time, I became disconnected entirely. It was, specifically, the moment I impacted with the glass. In that barest heartbeat of a moment, I came face to face with the infinite. I didn’t see a light, or the tunnel or hear any music. Nor did I get a “best-of” montage of my life. Instead, I felt the tip of my nose brush up against the very same fate I had accepted moments before. I looked into a cold, unreflective mirror. It was the dark, silent, dispassionate logic of the end. I realized in that moment that life can be seen as a light switch: “on” or “off”. When the moment passed and I heard the screaming, felt the pain, and tasted my own blood, I was overcome with joy. I was ecstatic to be back amidst all that chaos and horror *because* it was alive and real. I finally glimpsed the relative importance of all things.” 

awesome and encouraging read. I was just getting into this band when I heard about their horrific bus crash in which just about everybody was severely injured. I believe the one member who wasn’t injured was the guitarist who was a soldier in Iraq and got shrapnel in the eye and is legally blind. Yeah, I wish I were making that up. It’s like this band is going out of its way to prove that it is more metal than everybody else.
