to be honest, the area where i am thinking southern tracks is located is not the best part of town.

Never been to Atlanta, closest I've been is Athens. Doesn't surprise me though, after all Mastodon recorded there. I can easily imagine them recording in a meth lab.

Hinds: Dude we're in a meth lab! This is so METAL!
Dailor: I brought my still!

No offense to Mastodon though, one of my favorite bands. They're just a little..... "Country."

mastodon's from atlanta.

meth isn't really as big of an issue in atlanta as it is further out in the sticks.

i think atlanta's primary vintage is crack, tbh.

He didn't. 3k was cash, the rest was in goods.

Yeah. His grill; three-finger, diamond-encrusted rings; Dolce and Gabana manbag with matching sunglassess...typical Jeff Ament stuff.

Jeff Ament mugged in Atlanta!

I am shocked just reading this. Jeff Ament was mugged along with another man while he was arriving at a studio in Atlanta the other day. They knocked him down and stole 2 computers and $3,000.00 in cash. Don't know anymore details.

Sorry I didn't see the other thread. They said he had head injuries. I hope he is ok. My prayers got out to him.
