I've finally decided on writing a backing-track for Crystal Skulls! In particular the Mitchell-Hedges skull found in British Honduras in 1927. This one is thought to be the oldest known, and is unique in it's anatomical realism and separate lower jaw. It is thought that the 20-odd other famous skulls in existence were modeled after the Mitchell-Hedges, though they tend to be one-piece and more stylized (in line with later Mayan and Aztec art.) The Mitchell-Hedges skull is supposedly impossible to carve with modern tools from the type of quartz from which it is made - and there are few anthropological theories pointing to their purpose. They are 100% Unexplained!

I'm hoping to get some music inspiration from the likes of Os Mutantes - but the skull seems to be telling me Garage-Rock!
