dude, what the fuck is up w/ splitting your songs up???? i put my iPod on shuffle and i'll be all excited for a Mars Volta song and it's only like a minute and a half because the stupid band decided to split up their tracks. pisses me off so much!!

i happen to like long-ass songs on my iPod, does this piss anyone else off?

    Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream or Tarantism (on my Frances the Mute, they are the only ones under 1:30 mins).
    If I could, think I would give in.

    By rumor, I heard that the record company threaten to pay them only for an EP if they didn't split up the tracks. Don't quote me on it though.
    Sorry... i got nothing witty to say in the time allotted to me.

    Reimport it. When you have the cd in, select the tracks to put together, and choose 'Advanced -> Join CD Tracks'. Then reimport and they should always play together.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Not sure about the not paying thing but it is true that the record company told them to split up the tracks on the final song so that it wasn't one 30 minute song.

    When I saw them a couple of years ago they played the entire song live, that was amazing.

    We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.
