Get thyself into The Mars Volta

Oh yes, thats right, I'm going to plug Mars Volta. Beware my fandom and behold my offerings to you, for they are awesome and worth some time with your ears. Or in the very least, i deserve some time with your eyes before you decide! Read on!

The first song is from my favorite Mars Volta album, De-loused in the Comatorium. Sadly it is the song they probably wish they never wrote, because it turned out to be more popular and stand-out than they might have liked. So alot of people are dissapointed when they don't play it at concerts. I however, can live with them not playing it live, because it keeps a place in my music library without that extra bonus.

# Televators - The Mars Volta

Next up, we have a song that has been editted so as to trim down its size. Because apparently, you normal folk prefer your songs to be of roughly three or four minutes length. The full version of this wonderful song is actually just under 6 minutes, and much better if you have the extra minutes to spare. Its from the B-side of the single, and is rather cool.

# The Widow (Edit) - The Mars Volta

Finally we have another song from de-loused, sort of. Its a demo of possibly my favorite track from the album. There aren't many noticeable differences between this original idea and the album version, but as is the way with songs of this type, a little bit can mean a hell of a lot.

# Take the Veil - The (no, you've got to be kidding...) Mars Volta

Enjoy.
