Have you got another confession to make? Are you a fool who has never tried egg foo young? Well, it’s time to be my hero and try out this ultra delicious recipe for a Chinese omelette packed full of veggies and smothered in gravy that will put you end over end and you’ll definitely want these to stick around.
Before I knew any better, I thought ABBA were just a silly disco band based on their one-hit wonder over ‘Dancing Queen’ in the United States. In their homeland of Sweden though, it seems that ABBA were a massive hit, often referenced as being influences among many metal musicians hailing from the country, including Opeth‘s Mikael Akerfeldt. This puzzled me (“why would a death metal guitarist care about disco?”), so I decided to finally seek out their other tracks, and as it turns out, they’ve got some pretty cool tunes. I remember one such song, ‘I’m A Marionette‘ which was quite epic and theatrical, a song cool enough to be in a James Bond soundtrack.
Wouldn’t you know it, Ghost have covered the track in their own style, with the always awesome Dave Grohl on drums no less! You can listen to the track below:
For reference, here’s the original, which I actually prefer.
The band’s fortcoming sophomore album Infestissumam is due out this spring on Metal Blade/Rise Above records.

Mastodon let their fans know that they’ve recently stepped into the studio to write and record their new album by uploading a series of photos in the album ‘New Album Recording April 2011′. The above photo of the legendary Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Probot, Tenacious D, Them Crooked Vultures, etc if you somehow forgot his legacy) was tucked neatly at the end, leading rock fans everywhere to salivate in awe at the possibility of Dave contributing to the new album. Dave is certainly fit for Mastodon’s sound, just as Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures, etc) fit in perfectly in “Colony of Birchmen” from their album Blood Mountain. Hopefully this ends up being more than friendly goofing off and we see a recorded collab between Dave and Mastodon; it’s just undeniably sweet and should be excellent!
Expect to hear more about this soon enough. We’ll have the record later this year!
