Might As Well Be Ghosts is Todd Farrell Jr's best album to date in a string of gobsmackers. Farrell has a knack for getting at the emotional core of his ideas with blunt honesty, grace, and a stubborn optimism that things may suck now but there’s a chance that could change someday. Ghosts refuses to consider any aspect of life a waste of time, and takes pleasure in the paths less traveled, and the hold music has on us all.

It's not an Aprils fools; exactly 10 years ago we had our first band rehearsal at the Willem Twee Studios.
Lars, Arie and me jammed on a couple of songs like 'the Weary Kind', 'Mack' and 'Tell it to me'.
The latter has been a live staple in our set for almost 9 years.

Micah Schnabel is one of my all-time favorites and The Clown Watches the Clock finds him with a strident confidence. What’s more punk than saying “you’re holding me down but I can still spit in your face?” Clown is blistering and unsparing, unashamed to discuss the humiliation of poverty that tortured artists only glamorize if they’ve never had to live it.
Dear Mastodon,
Restrooms were really clean and the coffee was surprisingly good but I feel like it might be a cult. Thoughts?
Asking for a friend.
