    For Immediate Release: MASTODON’S NEW ALBUM ONCE MORE ’ROUND THE SUN DEBUTS AT NO. 6 ON BILLBOARD CHART - THEIR HIGHEST U.S. CHART DEBUT EVER! THE NEW ALBUM IS ALSO TOP 20 AROUND THE WORLD ABC’S JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE CONFIRMED FOR SEPTEMBER 15TH July 2, 2014 — (Burbank, CA) — Once More ’Round The Sun, the sixth studio album from Mastodon, has debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. This marks their highest chart debut ever. In addition, this album released by Reprise Records on June 24th, has gone Top 10 in most European markets and top 20 in most remaining territories. Once More ’Round The Sun has also entered the Top 10 Album Charts in the U.K. as well where it is currently the No. 1 Rock/Metal album across the nation; yet another milestone for Mastodon. Fans and critics agree, this is the best Mastodon album yet: “The mercurial metal heads have improved on the lean hard-rock pummel of 2011’s The Hunter with lattices of ornate riffs and primal vocals… the band sounds best when taking risks.” – Rolling Stone “Album after album, Mastodon set the pace for modern heavy metal. Their brand of aggression is brainy, technically dazzling and slightly hallucinogenic – metal for people who don’t usually listen to metal. At the same time, the band is balls-out creative. ‘Elegant’ isn’t a term usually associated with neck-tatted, acid-eating heshers but check out Bill Kelliher’s guitar riff verses Brent Hinds’ guitar solo versus Brann Dailor’s double-time drums.

    White Whale, Called “Old Tom,” Who Fought Back E? Against the Whalemen Who Were Trying to Kill Him for His Oil

    A White n 1834 author Ralph Waldo Emerson was traveling W Ithrough Boston in a carriage. A sailor sitting beside him told h an extraordinary story. For many years the people of New Eng- al land knew of a white whale, called “Old Tom,” who fought back e? against the whalemen who were trying to kill him for his oil.

  • “Tell Them He Jumped from a Whale-Boat!”: Moby-Dick's Pip

    “Tell Them He Jumped from a Whale-Boat!”: Moby-Dick's Pip

    “Tell Them He Jumped from a Whale-Boat!”: Moby-Dick’s Pip, Black Childhood, and the Discord of American Slavery While nineteenth-century literary representations of black childhood are limited, one prominent example in a canonical text of American literature often goes without commentary in terms of what it tells us about the period’s cultural ideology of blackness or childhood. In Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick (1851), the African American ship-boy Pip becomes a prophetic jester-like character after he survives a plunge into the ocean. Following this incident, Pip refers to himself in the third person and refutes his identity, responding to shipmates who call for him by asking, “Pip? whom call ye Pip? Pip jumped from the whale-boat” (391). Pip suggests that while his physical body may be aboard the Pequod, his spirit remains in the watery fathoms below the sea’s surface. Pip’s break with reality happens shortly after second mate Stubb reminds Pip of his status as slave. Having been previously regarded favorably as the “tender-hearted,” “bright,” and “pleasant” tambourine-playing child (391), Stubb tells the boy, “We can't afford to lose whales by the likes of you; a whale would sell for thirty times what you would, Pip” (321). Here, the text crosses the binary ideas of identity that exist for a black child in antebellum America––that of idealized innocent and that of enslaved, dehumanized object. Confronted with this dissonance, Pip cannot remain rational when forced to see the irrationality and brutality of this reality. In my paper, I will explore the ways in which Moby-Dick confronts the discord of slavery to the American project of democracy through Pip, and I’ll consider how the ocean––the space where Pip understands his soul to be after his jump from the whale-boat–– functions as a liminal space to question American antebellum ideology as manifested through childhood, slavery, and whaling.
  • From Mocha Dick to Moby Dick: Fishing for Clues to Moby's Name and Color

    From Mocha Dick to Moby Dick: Fishing for Clues to Moby's Name and Color

    From Mocha Dick to Moby Dick: Fishing for Clues to Moby's Name and Color Ben Rogers University of Delaware Melville's fictional whale Moby Dick appears to derive from the real whale Mocha Dick, yet the differences in names and colors between these two suggest that Moby's name may be intimately connected to his symbolic role. One meaning of mob is 'to wrap in a cowl or veil'. Creating an adjective by adding -y produces moby 'having the qualities of being hooded, especially about the head', a definition reflected in Ishmael's "grand hooded phantom." Dick may be a shortening of Dickens, a euphemism for the devil. Dick may also suggest Dicky 'an officer acting on commission', an appropriate meaning for Ahab' s and Starbuck's conception of Moby as God or an agent of God. Lexicons available to Melville reveal the meaning of the name and illuminate the characteriza- tion of Moby as both commodity and Zeus of the sea, both "dumb brute" and divine Leviathan. The 1929 discovery of a narrative about a white whale named Mocha Dick began 70 years of speculation as to the extent of Mocha as Moby's prototype. The narrative, written by J.R. Reynolds in 1839, described a "renowned monster, who had come off victorious in a hundred fights ... [and was] white as wool." Typical of the reaction of literary critics at the time was Garnett's remark that "Moby Dick ... was but Mocha Dick in faery fiction dressed" (1929, 858). Critical editions of Moby-Dick often include the Reynold's narrative and today scholars generally agree that Melville probably knew of Mocha.1 The obvious sibling qualities of the two whales has tended to center onomastic study on the name Mocha Dick, and subsequent research has attempted to demonstrate that Melville knew of Mocha Dick or, assuming this, to explain why Mocha changed to Moby.

    Topics in Anglophone Literary Studies Thar She Blows! Moby-Dick Meets the Digital Generation Spring 2018 Wednesdays, 5–6.30 p.m., SR34K1 (Attemsgasse 25, basement) Dr. Michael Fuchs 1. About the Course “Call me Ishmael.” Even if you haven’t read Moby-Dick, you will probably know the novel’s iconic open- ing line. Likewise, even if you haven’t read Moby-Dick, you will have a rough idea as to what its story is about—Captain Ahab’s frantic hunt of a white sperm whale. The very fact that people know about Moby-Dick without knowing Moby-Dick testifies to the book’s cultural relevance and power. Indeed, as we will see, Moby-Dick is about so much more than the mere conflict between man and nature. This undergraduate seminar will consist of two main parts: In the first half of the semester, we will engage in a close reading of what many literary scholars and also the general public consider one of the (if not the) “great American novels.” In the second half of the semester, we will look at the presence of Moby-Dick in popular culture. Accordingly, we will watch movie adaptations, read comic adaptations, listen to music adaptations, but also explore some other texts in which Moby-Dick (and/or Moby Dick) plays a dominant role. Since the first part of this undergraduate seminar will pursue a close reading of Moby-Dick, the main objective here will be that students gain a deeper understanding of Moby-Dick and its socio- economic environment; in particular, students will come to understand (and appreciate) what might be termed Moby-Dick’s postmodernism avant la lettre, its rhetorical strategies, its ecological subtexts, its engagement with scientific discourse, and nineteenth-century whale-hunting.

  • Mastodon Emperor of Sand

    Mastodon Emperor of Sand

    MASTODON EMPEROR OF SAND Every living creature must face the will and judgment of time. Ancient Greeks personified time in the form of the titan Kronos, father of Zeus, and Egyptians celebrated Heh as an abstraction of endless years. Famously, William Shakespeare lamented humanity’s immutable fate as “time’s subjects” in Henry IV. GRAMMY® Award-nominated hard rock band Mastodon ponders the nature of time on their eighth full-length album, Emperor of Sand, on Reprise Bros. Records. Threading together the myth of a man sentenced to death in a majestically malevolent desert, the Atlanta, GA quartet—Troy Sanders (bass/vocals), Brent Hinds (guitar/vocals), Bill Kelliher (guitars) and Brann Dailor (drums/vocals), and conjure the grains of a musical and lyrical odyssey slipping quickly through a cosmic hourglass. “Emperor of Sand is like the grim reaper,” admits Dailor. “Sand represents time. If you or anyone you know has ever received a terminal diagnosis, the first thought is about time. Invariably, you ask, ‘How much time is left?’” Since forming back in 2000, Mastodon have certainly made the most of their time. Most recently, their 2014 seventh offering Once More ‘Round The Sun bowed at #6 on the Billboard Top 200, marking their highest chart entry to date and second consecutive Top 10 debut following 2011’s The Hunter. Casting a shadow over pop culture, they received “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nominations in 2007, 2014 and again in 2015. Their music blasted through the Academy® Award-winning comedy The Big Short, animated blockbuster Monsters University, and sci-fi western Jonah Hex starring Josh Brolin—for which the group composed the score.
