BIg Day Out 06

Big Day Out 06 CD Review - www.stuff.co.nz



Looks like The Mars Volta have a live version of L'via L'viaquez on this CD. Also featured are quality bands like The White Stripes and Kings of Leon. I don't know how you can get this in the UK at the moment, might have to import it. *groan*. I might try and buy it through the Big Day Out website...

Also, obviously Mars Volta are playing Big Day Out 06 (otherwise they would not be on the CD). I dont think my budegt stretches that far though!

I ordered another Mars Volta record today.

The Mars Volta Live At The Electric Ballroom July 9, 2003
(2005 US Limited Edition promotional only 9-track 2-LP set pressed on opaque GREEN VINYL [record one] and opaque AQUA BLUE) Woo. Only 300 of these exist I think.

Another Album Review

Check it out.

I Like this review - "Abrasions Mount The Timpani" and the first section of "Cicatriz" amount to nothing more than abrasive voices, screeching synths, and crashing percussion

I might be working on this a bit more over Christmas as I want to learn some things. Also been getting spam from the forum so have closed it.

Mars Volta Cancel Manchester Show

I am not sure but the show following the Birmingham show was cancelled. I feel sorry for them poor souls who trekked up north. Glad I didnt!

Anyway Scab Dates arrived so I am listening to this at work. What ho!
