What Ya Into?

Hey Listener, grab your favorite black t-shirt and get ready to dive head first into the world of Mastodon! For the second time in WYI?’s history we’re dedicating an entire episode to a band and Paul Gonzalez is here to go on this journey. Topics this week include: PAWL is here so of course we have to talk movies. The modern evolution of Metal. Meeting Mastodon. Are the first four albums about the elements? The worst day of Mr. Ed’s life and the art of Mastodon. A weird Playboy sidequest. Jurassic Park trivia. The greatest metal album of the century? Let’s get a bunch of cool musicians to make guest appearances on our third album. Can I sing along and strip to it? Creating a perfect album. Finally making an album that isn’t a concept album. Sometimes you leave before the headliner. Our least favorite Mastodon album. The album that your host kept in his car for a half decade. Separating the art from the artist. The sad adult album. Seeing Mastodon live and band mascots. Seeing shows in the basement of the Taft. No one in the audience has a beard. Getting fooled by Ghost. The Ashes of Leviathan tour.
