...admire Les Claypool. Still theoretically the brains behind Primus, Claypool, last seen playing Colonel to his Amazing Flying Frog Brigade, has formed yet another side project. It is a little as though someone is playing fantasy football with musicians: How else would you get Stewart Copeland, the drummer from the Police, head-Phish Trey Anastasio and jack-of-all-bands Les Claypool on the same album...
