A Whale's Lantern is a music project that pairs up musicians at random to collaborate - we have released two albums so far and the third round is currently happening. You can listen to the previous songs here:

If you buy one of the albums, you:
- directly support the involved musicians
- support Mastodon development (we donate a share of the sales)
- get a download code for another album by one of the artists
"First, take your clothes off, and put on this neck brace and helmet."
"Why?"
"In case we hit a wall. They're padded but still."
"Okay..."
"Then the harness, and clip the bungee cords to mine."
I buckle in. Zero-gravity sex is nothing like I had imagined it.

Few things scare me more than those who can spend their whole life without ever challenging the dominant dogma even once, those whose lives are spent in obedient pursuit of what the system wants them to want.
