Mattster of Reality 3:08:42 PM

Mattster of Reality 3:09:10 PM
Children of the Grave
Mattster of Reality 3:10:14 PM

Mattster of Reality 3:12:14 PM
Charles Bronson vs White Bison
Francis 3:14:12 PM
Anyone hear of Gyibaaw - Native american metal band from PNW?
Brian D 3:14:22 PM
Bo knows Bison. Holy 80s Metal Batman on this one
Brian D 3:16:24 PM
Also Sabbath had the fine song "Children of the Sea". Not too be satisfied with just one Children of.. song under their studded belts
Captain Ahab (host) 3:16:24 PM
This is that 21 minute track
Mattster of Reality 3:16:28 PM
Bison horn transmitter make it happen Captain
Captain Ahab (host) 3:17:03 PM
lol
Mattster of Reality 3:17:39 PM
E.T. made a transmitter outta a Speak n Spell, umbrella, radial saw
Mattster of Reality 3:18:04 PM

Captain Ahab (host) 3:23:40 PM
we love to hear it!
Jon Solomon 3:23:56 PM
It is inspired by something you played a few months back, so thanks!
Mattster of Reality 3:24:03 PM
Solly plays Dopesmoker
Jon Solomon 3:26:20 PM
Not this week. I'm too busy trying to tie Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender to this dual stereo interface. He keeps flying off! Super annoying!
Mattster of Reality 3:26:54 PM
Solar Temple is really into photons
Captain Ahab (host) 3:28:08 PM
someone's gotta be
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:39:03 PM
Counterfeit Zeppelin
Mattster of Reality 3:39:21 PM
Wolfmother van Fleet
Jäsön 3:39:34 PM
haha
Mattster of Reality 3:40:00 PM
Keeping in mind, DTO, that Zeppelin were counterfeiters themselves
Mattster of Reality 3:42:03 PM
The Astronaut Made Honey in the Human's Skull
Jäsön 3:42:05 PM
Wolfmother passes my test of whether they add enough of their own style. Greta Van Fleet...not so sure.
Dan Ruccia 3:43:31 PM
@Mattster, that sounds like the Earth/Sleep crossover album that we've all been waiting for
Mattster of Reality 3:43:45 PM
Greta van Fleet: counterfeit Dutch
Mattster of Reality 3:44:16 PM
Dan indeed! That would be ridic heavy & slow
Jon Solomon 3:44:48 PM
If there was an Earth / Sleep crossover and they didn't call it Eeep I'd be upset.
Mattster of Reality 3:44:55 PM
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Jon Solomon 3:45:04 PM
Would settle for Earp.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:45:04 PM
LOL
Dan Ruccia 3:45:24 PM
Was gonna suggest Eearp
Jäsön 3:45:25 PM
Digging this Saint Karloff.
Teresa P 3:45:48 PM
There are so many counterfeit Ledz Zepz to choose from and I enjoy many of them -- Zipper (Fred Cole's old band), Balletto di Bronzo's first album (I know that DTO and I are of different opinions on the latter... )
Mattster of Reality 3:46:42 PM
Dylan Carlson kinda looks like Wyatt Earp
Brian D 3:47:13 PM
Dearp
DSM 3:47:30 PM
Is the Bone Cave one's own mind?
DSM 3:47:41 PM
Hey Captain and alllllll
Mattster of Reality 3:47:41 PM
Matt Pike & Dylan Carlson dress like Wyatt Earp, form supergroup. Lol Brian D
Mattster of Reality 3:48:32 PM
DSM yes. 💀
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:48:32 PM
Good point, Mattster (about Zep stealing)
Captain Ahab (host) 3:49:42 PM
hey DSM!
Teresa P 3:49:55 PM
Hello Captain and fellow Cruisers!
Mattster of Reality 3:49:56 PM
Anatolian bone salt cave
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:50:03 PM
@Teresa, I agree about BdB’s first LP. It was their 2nd that was RPI.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:50:10 PM
today the bone cave is my office, but most of the time yes it is my mind
Captain Ahab (host) 3:50:45 PM
hey Teresa, DTO, any other newcomers I forgot to say hi to!
Mattster of Reality 3:51:28 PM
Or a bone cave could be what our friends in/on Jersey Shore call a "smoosh room". ✊🇮🇹 Just sayin
Francis 3:52:49 PM
Heh - I have a real bone cave, since that's what I work on during the day.
Mattster of Reality 3:53:06 PM
Nice!
DSM 3:53:33 PM
smoosh room vs real bone cave
Mattster of Reality 3:53:50 PM
Lol DSM
Mattster of Reality 3:54:25 PM
the birds & the bees in the lion's skull
Francis 3:54:33 PM
Should not have had that meatball smmich for lunch. Now I'm sleepy as all hell
Mattster of Reality 3:55:08 PM
meatball cave
Mattster of Reality 3:55:35 PM
Cave of Forgotten DMs
DSM 3:55:49 PM
more like sleepballs
Dan Ruccia 3:56:18 PM
I mean, if you really think about it "bees making honey" sure sounds like the definition of a smoosh room
Mattster of Reality 3:56:46 PM
Lol Dan
Dan Ruccia 3:56:48 PM
Earth, always one step ahead of us...
Captain Ahab (host) 3:56:51 PM
y'all are in a mooooood today
Mattster of Reality 3:57:16 PM
Doom desert sessions
Mattster of Reality 3:57:41 PM
Ahab we in a mood everyday, this is Jersey
Teresa P 3:58:35 PM
@Ahab -- The transmission sounds really good today from the bowels of academic officialdom -- No hiccups and even if there were, your show is always two of the most looked-forward-to hours of my week! <3 @DTO -- so we DO agree on BdB categories fundamentally. (-: Also @DTO -- here's a link to something on the twitters that I happened upon a little over a week ago and have been meaning to share with you: https://state51.greedbag.com/buy/the-nid-tapes-electronic-music-f/
Mattster of Reality 3:59:52 PM
Aftershow party at my bone cave, yall invited, keg of kombucha
DSM 3:59:53 PM

Mattster of Reality 4:03:49 PM
I am already prepping to fk w/ Flex next week 😈
Mattster of Reality 4:03:58 PM
CONAN
Mattster of Reality 4:04:33 PM
I am jelly
Captain Ahab (host) 4:05:55 PM
Thanks Teresa! Glad to hear it all sounds good, those hiccups with my home wifi were getting irritating and I may just stick to office broadcasts permanently
Mattster of Reality 4:06:31 PM
Ahab how are you able to hear today after Conan
Captain Ahab (host) 4:06:55 PM
I'll have you know I am a very diligent earplug user, do not want to end up with tinnitus
Mattster of Reality 4:07:54 PM
If yall like Hashishian vox, check out Eagle Twin
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 4:10:10 PM
Thanks for the link, Teresa
Mattster of Reality 4:10:23 PM
Tinnitus sux. I lose lots of sleep from it. Good call Ahab 👂
Captain Ahab (host) 4:10:46 PM
oh dang sorry to hear that :(
Jäsön 4:11:21 PM
Yeah, tinnitus here too from decades of drums. Could be worse for me, but it is something to avoid.
Mattster of Reality 4:12:18 PM
nothin like morse code beeping in one's bone cave to drive ya nutz
Captain Ahab (host) 4:13:03 PM
ooof
Francis 4:13:14 PM
Tinnitus here from hundreds of bands and decades of bass. Not too bad, but makes me really choosy about playing ina band again
Mattster of Reality 4:14:40 PM
One reason ...And Justice For All by Tallica has no bass is they couldn't hear low tones after touring Master of Puppets
Mattster of Reality 4:16:26 PM
Xasthur, black metal band, are now a lovely all acoustic trio-- smart
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:01 PM
woah
Captain Ahab (host) 4:18:54 PM
a slightly diff version of this track is available for pay what you want on their older ep release: https://smokeymirrortx.bandcamp.com/album/smokey-mirror-ep

sup Chris
Chris Mc🥸 4:29:12 PM
Hey hey
Francis 4:38:39 PM
Huh - usually hearing loss affects high freq tones first, and less likely affecting low freq
Mattster of Reality 4:40:08 PM
I know, true, Francis, but they were also hazing their new bassist & going for that Pantera dry sound. Weirdness behind why they killed the bass
Mattster of Reality 4:42:36 PM
I dont trust Lars Ulrich one bit. The only Dane I trust is Kierkegaard
stevie p 4:43:38 PM

HIBERNAUT 💓
Brian D 4:44:20 PM
I instantly thought of Lars the first time i heard Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) speak on Breaking Bad
Brian D 4:44:45 PM
And just about every line after...
Mattster of Reality 4:45:51 PM
Lars IS the puppet master 😉
Brian D 4:46:33 PM
Toadily duuuude
Mattster of Reality 4:47:35 PM
Also 🤯 that Geddy Lee almost produced Master of Puppets
Mattster of Reality 4:48:55 PM
Hirkum tapping the Fu Manchu vein 👍
Brian D 4:51:49 PM
Les Claypool tried out for tallica he he.. knowing full well he would not fit but why not go for it and play a little tryout with them
Mattster of Reality 4:52:31 PM
Lol that story is hilarious Brian. Les had on mismatched sneakers & just so outta place
DSM 4:52:37 PM
I'd like to hear a fretless bass in Tallica
Jon Solomon 4:53:12 PM
Have a great trip. That's a pretty special part of the country.
Chris Mc🥸 4:53:19 PM

DSM 4:53:26 PM
Shocked it's that time. Thanks Captain and have a great trip!
Mattster of Reality 4:53:44 PM
Beautiful country. Lovely desolation
Mattster of Reality 4:56:34 PM
Hashishian is from the riff/smokefilled lands
Jäsön 4:57:34 PM
Great show, Captain.
