RATM becomes Melt-Banana

The cassette player in my car got screwed a few weeks back. It plays songs at about 4 times their original speed. I've listened to Renegades of Funk, the album, almost always while driving. So the tape player getting screwed didn't stop me from listening to it. I still play it everyday, side a and side b. The extra revolutions make RATM sound like a groovy Melt-Banana and its just mind blowing. You should try this at home.
I listened to The Bedlam in Goliath by The Mars Volta just now, twice back to back. This is the first time I'm listening to these guys and wow they kicked my ass. Great prog music. Downloading Amputechture and listening to Hawkwind's In Search of Space in the meanwhile.
