Well, I've been a fan of Mars Volta since they formed. The fact that Mikael likes them is kinda coincidental because when they (Opeth and Pork Tree) played here a few months ago- I actually thought of buying Mike the CD- I figured he'd like it.. anyway- I dont think I'd buy just ANY cd that Mike listed on his playlist- I'd check it out first then draw my own conclusion...... So, fuck off!!
