On Monday Homer Simpson Plays Meshuggah In New Mashup Video was a top story. Here is the recap: (Metal Hammer) Homer Simpson annoys his family by blasting out a Meshuggah song as he learns to play the bass in a new mashup created by a fan. YouTube user Zakk163 has synced Meshuggah's track Obzen into a clip from a recent Simpsons episode in which hapless dad Homer decides to take up a musical instrument, and picks the bass guitar due to his "muscular" stumpy fingers.

Homer's bass playing odyssey features in Covercraft, the eighth episode of the 26th season of the hit TV show. Homer ends up forming a band with Kirk Van Houten, Reverend Lovejoy, Dr Hibbert and Apu - who he was once a bandmate of in The Be Sharps.
