Anybody read this yet? It’s his first novel, non-fiction, pretty good for a dude whose music I have no use for. Would make a great Tarantino flick.

WTF, I had no idea! He also has a new album out (spotty with a couple totally kickass tracks, as is usual for his shit) and a MOVIE coming out called Electric Apricot about a fake jam band...sort've like a Spinal Tap for the Bonnaroo age.

Amazon sez:
A dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, drugs, and murder, this novel skillfully combines classic motifs of epic struggle and intelligent layers of imagery, reminiscent of The Old Man and the Sea, and the raw, tweaked perspective of a Hunter S. Thompson novel.
Les Claypool established himself as the most original rock bassist in the 1990s, as front man for the hit band Primus. They toured the world with groups like Jane's Addiction, Public Enemy, and U2.
