What the fuck??

WHAT ARE MASTODON COUNTING DOWN TO?

 Monday, January 5th, 2009 at 5:33pm by

MetalSucks Maniac Wayne Graham just tipped us off to the fact that Mastodon’s official website is currently counting down (see screen shot above).

The question, of course, is what are they counting down to? An official first single? A tour announcement? Both?  The clock will run out on Thursday. Guess we’ll have to wait ’til then to find out…

    Quick OSX Tip:

    Command Shift 4 – Crosshairs which you click and drag allowing you to make a screenshot of any section of your screen

    Command Shift 4 Space – Take a screenshot of an application window only

    Enough nerdery from me

    It only allows you to access their forum from that page, so my guess as to what they are counting down is…. a new website? and maybe some other shit too.

    I’m glad someone else hear recognized the Mac setup.

  • SP420

    Having a Mac is about as un-metal as it gets. Means you listen to indie music that you think is highly tasteful and eclectic in addition to having less than one testicle.

    First of all; Macs are totally awesome and br00tal. Fuck all who say otherwise.

    Anyway, my guess would be that it’s for a free download of a new single like so many of Roadrunner’s bands had. They all had countdowns on their sites like this.

    an early premiere screening of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”??

    Erik Ruten mixes Hate Eternal albums on a Mac and most metal video directors use Macs. You just got owned faggot.

    RobInjection –

    Thanks for the tip! Good stuff to know.

    And to the dude that says Macs are unmetal, you are an idiot. That is all.

    I agree with both sides, I hear that Macs are pretty cool IF they can do what you want them to do, and that function that allows you to see all your screens as a tile, that is cool. However, they don’t do the functions I need them to do because the software and programs I use don’t work with a Macs operating system. So, in that regard Macs suck.

  • Nick

    I’d rather be using a mac than this piece of shit XP Pro I’m on right now. Vista’s worse, I had to downgrade.

    @DeaThrash,
    Ummmm, you can run Windows on a Mac, so you can run all those Pc programs that your heart desires. It’s really pretty easy.

  • dthrasher

    Ive never understood why you would emulate windows on a mac rather than just..you know…running it on a pc and eliminating the middle man. I have nothing against macs though and im sure that there are things that they do better than pc’s and vice versa, but i will never buy one simply because of all the douche bags that think apple products instantly make them cooler for owning it. Also the fact that every time i turn on the tv i have to see at least five fucking mac commercials that don’t sell anything except how hip they are. METAL, YEA! \m/

  • Doug

    Macs certainly don’t make people “cooler” but they are much more reliable than Windows-based PCs and have a far superior interface. Mac OS X is the Enslaved of operating systems; Vista is the Nickelback.

  • seveword

    …or people use Windows because they don’t give a flying fuck about interfaces and features and functions and they only use their computer for metal and porn. Not necessarily in that order.

    @ezra
    I need a lot of other programs other than Microsoft, albeit that is a big one, but the programs I need to run are not compatible with Macs because they are not well known because it is software made by some person for engineering. These programs just won’t run with that particular operating system, or else it does not run correctly.

  • JTL

    I know that Relapse has more than a few macs, but we all they are just an un-metal, hippie flute-and-tambourine artist collective.

  • randomPerson

    My moneys on new website along with other things possbily. And why did this turn into a mac vs apple discussion? The superior OS is by far Linux

  • JTL

    I meant “we all know they are. . . “

    WHAT ARE MASTODON COUNTING DOWN TO?
