the Wizard!

"One day we were sitting and wondering where it's at
When down came a dragon with a wizard on his back
He said to us, step up, wanna take you for a trip
Then up we flew off into space and the astral gates we slipped
Alright"

(Merry Christmas!)

Ed Mundell quits Monster Magnet

Well, heres some sad news again coming to all the fans of MM and all sorts of. The website "the Soda Shop" advances that after 18 years, the enormously talented Ed is leaving the band for personal reasons. I wish him the best of luck to the future, hoping to see him in another band soon.
