DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM

Yesterday, I picked up my daughter from school and had this CD in the changer. I said to my 7 year-old, 'Daddy's going to play a song. It's weird, but I like it alot.' My daughter said, 'Okay'. So I proceeded to play "Drunkship Of Lanterns". My daughter didn't say a word, until we reached home when she said, "Dad, thats crazy music!" I laughed. Later, we met my wife at a local TGIF's for dinner. On the way there I played, "Eratarka". This time she told me, "That was a good song, Daddy." I smiled. On the way home after dinner I went to turn the CD on when my daughter said, "Put on the second song." If my 7 year-old daughter who likes Kelly Clarkson and all the other pop singers can sit and enjoy The Mars Volta, I can't see how anyone who visits this site and enjoys music that is not commercial in any way wouldn't come away thinking after listening to this CD that it's a bonefide modern masterpiece....well....there's always Madonna....;-P
