The Mars Volta, thank you, were a rock band who broke up earlier this year. I hesitate to describe them but "Bonkers prog-metal mathcore" is probably the closest I can get. I've been playing three of their CDs non-stop over the past couple of weeks, after having paid very little attention to them over the past three years. I have one as my Car CD; these are CDs I've decided need to be given serious listening to, where I, as a captive audience, cannot get away from them. And I've decided that I do really like TMV - and have only just found out that they went toes-up in 2013.
Oh well. I've had similar experiences before in music and literature. Discover an artist, love their work, look for more - then discover they died twenty years ago and will never play or write again.
A short blog today <hooray! shout other, competitive, bloggers> since I've got the pub quiz at 9:00. Also since I am going out after work tomorrow, I did the weekly shop tonight, after having to pick up parcels from the Sorting Office, so didn't get in until after 7:00. Which means - gasp! - no time to bake a cake for the office tomorrow. Oh the humanity!
Toodle-ooh!
Not this week, ma'am. We may relent next week. If they're good.
