Music of the Mushrooms: Les Claypool
Myrmidon16 \| 3:13 PM on 08.04.2008	4 comments

You all have heard my opinion on the new game Madworld, but there is one other game in production out there that has me even more pumped then the bloody black-n-white; and that' Mushroom Men, developed by none other than Gamecock. Why so pumped, you ask? Well, it could be the largely explorable and beautiful worlds. Or it could be the ability to create your own weapons using human leftovers, such as pencils and paperclips. Or it could be the awesome setting and plot. It could be. But, its definitely one thing; and that's the games music being created by none other than Les Claypool.

Yes, that Les Claypool. The Les Claypool from Primus. The legendary bassist and quaint lead singer. Not only is Primus one of my favorite bands, but having Les do the music for this game is probably the greatest things that has ever happened. Nobody else could make the music for a game based around living mushrooms. I can't wait to chuck this game into my Wii and listen to the psychedelic background hums as I play. I mean, who else can you have create the music for a game about MUSHROOMS if he's not from PRIMUS. Yea, you see where I'm going.

Mushroom Men will be a great game even without the addition of Les Claypool. But this guy is just what Gamecock needs to bring this game into awesomeness. I'm looking forward to this game. Can't wait.

I am an avid Les fan.
I see all the local live shows he comes by with and have all the albums he's worked on (even the Gabby La La CD). I would buy Mushroom Men for his music alone.

Everyone that reads this article needs to listen to the best Les band, Oysterhead.

Les Claypool is the greatest bassist ever. Just name a better one, I dare you.

about me

Sup D-toiders, Nick Moore is my name, video gaming is my... er, game. My console of choice is the Nintendo Wii, for I am as big of a Nintendo fanboy as you will ever find. Yea I like Nintendo, wanna fight about it? Anyway my favorite games include Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Paper Mario, and pretty much any Pokemon game, but my top picks gotta be Crystal and Emerald. I also love me some Super Smash Bros Series, LoZ:TP, Resident Evil 4, and pretty much all of the Fire Emblem games. Got me a Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, and DS. Nice. I also like to game on the PC, my favorites including Fallout 3, Plants vs. Zombies, and Left 4 Dead.

Here's me in my natural habitat:

There's my Alienware m9750, love it. I'm pretty much on it 24/7, I do everything on it. But I get out, don't worry. See that tan? Yea you do. I hang with my friends most of the time I'm 'away from my computer', usually going to concerts, movies, or just partying.

I'm currently enrolled at The College of New Jersey (yea that's really the name) and my major is Interactive Multimedia, which is pretty much a revved up Gaming Major. Yup, one day I'll be a multi-million game designer, so you better not get on my bad side or you'll never get to experience the awesomeness of my video games... though I think I'm getting way ahead of myself.

Some of my other hobbies include movies, music, football (E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!) and literature. My favorite directors include The Coen Brothers, Guillermo del Toro, Tim Burton, and Quentin Tarantino. Favorite movies include Reservoir Dogs, Barton Fink, Edward Scissorhands, Fargo, Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, and Pan's Labyrinth. My favorite bands are The Killers, Blink-182, Green Day, Weezer, and Queen.

So there you go, a little bit about me, your humble neighborhood Myrmidon16.
