The content of this article is a bit similar to a radio discussion I heard part of last year. They'd had Mars Volta in to do a session previously and the entire hour of the discussion had one track/extended jam that they'd recorded going in the background. I think it was an hour rather than a 30 minute segment. The other thing they did was they got Rick Wakeman to listen to various people including Mars Volta and Muse and he was of the opinion that just about anyone who had been labelled as prog by critics fitted his definition because of the varied directions they were going in.

They came through for me on the Magnapop debut (the Michael Stipe produced debut is different from HOT BOXING and RUBBING DOESN'T HELP sonically in that it's more like their latest, less abrasive release, MOUTHFEEL...I didn't really care for HB and RDH). I lucked out in that someone in Canada put one up for sale on the first of April. I also found an Essex Green disc I needed to replace for 10 dollars from a Canadian seller that I got outbid on on e-bay and was going for 70 bucks on Amazon (hold on to your Kindercore stuff). Any bad experiences with MusicStack I need to be wary of, however? - --Mark (the london) Suede STAY TOGETHER e.p.
