A friend sent me this today and it proved to be one of the most interesting things i've read about in like 6 months.
It's hard to explain it. Just begin reading, it'll either spark something in you and you wont blink until the end, or you'll get a quarter way through, laugh, and close it. It'll be interpreted in a range of different ways depending on who you are, but i'm absolutely certain that there will be a select few out there who will get something from this.

I met god the other day.
I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you know it was god?
Well, I’ll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Every question I flung at him he batted back with a plausible and satisfactory answer. In the end, it was easier to accept that he was god than otherwise.
Which is odd, because I’m still an atheist and we even agree on that!

Clip: Omar Rodriguez interview
So after a bit of an unintentional "christmas" break, it now feels like a good time to kick things off again.
To kick off the new year, i'm excited to show this 2-part interview with Omar Rodriguez. He has got to be one of the most interesting and authentic musicians i've ever seen be interviewed, and this is one of the best interviews i've seen with him. It's refreshing to hear some questions based around the big and interesting stuff, rather than the mundane promotional stuff.
I seem to have this fascination with him and what he has to say, and i think it's because: a. I love the music he makes and admire what the mars volta have done, b. He's a successful and hard-working musician who is making a living doing what he loves (something i want to do), c. Most of his beliefs really resonate with me, d. He shares his inner-most perspectives without hesitation or fear, e. Inspiring thoughts are provoked when i tune into his wavelength.
This all gets rolled up into this ball of interesting for me.
Anyway, in this interview, he talks about: What he likes about music, his public image/perception/label, his spiritual beliefs, his life purpose, god, the goal of his music, the significance/insignificance of the opinion of the fans, the live performances, his greatest learning tool, the recording technique, his "dance moves", his part in the creative process of volta, future creativity, traveling, etc.

You don't have to be a fan of Mars Volta to get something out of this.
