Just wondering if anyone else listens to them. I think I play them more than anything else while baked, and i've never shared it with anyone who wasn't lost in it within 5 minutes.

If you aren't familiar with them yet (or art rock in general), i'd advise securing yourself some of their better songs:

Cassandra Gemini
Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt ;)
Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus

Cheers

At the drive in was amazing work as well, but towards the end, specifically tracks like Enfilade, you can see a shift in direction.

And Sparta, that other band that came out of it, was just lame.

Haha, you're awesome sobriquet. TMV is so amazing. I'm going to see them with System at the end of september, they're playing at the All State Arena near chicago. I can't wait to go. Hm, maybe I can take some video. If I can, I'll upload some for you guys.

As for songs, what about L'via L'viaquez? Or Televators? Heheh, those are a couple of my favorite, although there aren't many songs I don't like, and I have them all (i think). I got the discography, so I have studio and live versions, they're great.

Glad to find more Mars Volta fans. (as well as Zappa, I'm in love with him right now)

Peace

edit: Ah, you're seein them too geoff? Excellent.

'Enfilade' is definitely a good song, but I think my favorite would be 'Miranda, that ghost just isn't holy anymore'.

I'd really recommend Thievery Corporation, check out a song called Shaolin Satellite, should give you a good taste of their work.

Also:
RJD2 (these guys are amazing, check out a song called Iced Lightning)
The Postal Service
Tosca
