The new video for “Dry Bone Valley” has arrived!

*slightly seizure-inducing, just a warning*

So full of Masonic/Illuminati propaganda that VigiliantCitizen just came all over his keyboard.

I love Mastodon, but this is absolutely terrible. I’m a Designer and Animator and at no point in this video was I even marginally impressed by the animation. It would be okay to play as a backdrop during a set, but as a video, absolutely not - it looks amateurish, like they didn’t have a budget or the ability to shoot film. It looks like a YouTube fan-made video - created by someone who just learned how to use After Effects last week - in other words, an ill-executed, let’s-use-static-images-and-change-them-really-fast effect, too much Photoshop-filtered mess. So sad. I’m embarrassed for them…and for whatever “artist” animated this piece of crap. I love this song so much and had such high hopes for the video, this just killed it for me.

The Best Moto Jackets

I have been scouring the stores (both brick-and-mortar and online) to find the perfect motorcycle jacket. It just seems this season so many jackets either were made of cheapy material, don’t have proper fit (boxy), or don’t have those nice details that make it unique. After looking high and low, these were some stand out leather duds that are definitely worth every penny!
