Dear Mr. Queequeg

Mastodon’s music is like potato chips, I just can’t stop putting it in my head. An oddity as a metal band to be sure, certainly a contemporary of Tool with their progressive approach to the genre. But the vocal stylings are of particular interest to me, with various members singing various parts at different times – creating a sound that is unique and immediately recognizable. This track is from the album Leviathan (2004) an epic concept album that pays homage to Herman Mellville’s Moby Dick. How could I not like a band this weird? Mastodon is never far off in my rotation of songs to tank to.

The Bloodscalp Report
+ HORDE
AS mentioned last week, I’ve been stockpiling for Cataclysm, squirreling away what useful goodies I can lay hands on cheaply. Most notably Ink of the Sea, I’m of course constantly on the lookout for the odd deal. I hit the jackpot this weekend with some cheap Titanium Ore, still selling the left over dust actually. All told I banked over 20K for the week which is a perfect pick me up after only pulling in 15 last week. At this rate I should easily be gold capped again by October, even allowing for further market degradation. As for the Alliance side of things…

+ ALLIANCE
I’m really trying to come to grips with the Alliance side, part of me wants to charge in full steam ahead and prove there’s money to be made on the quiet side of Bloodscalp, but honestly it just feels more and more frustrating. There just aren’t people buying on that side, because there just aren’t any people. I’m seriously considering washing my hands of the Alliance for good and all, and simply focusing my alts on the Horde. As time wears on, it’s becoming more of a possibility. This time next week, I’ll likely have rendered my verdict (and taken action). So, we’ll see.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading…
