Ballrooms of Mars - Episode XII: Laying Down Arms

As BoM marks its first dozen shows, we agreed that for all of our record-spinning firepower, it's time to melt the guns. We're trading in our mp3-shooters for audio diplomacy: the ultimate act of musical disobedience.




What are we talking about? Just look out your window, friend. It's a mad world outside. Might as well log in, BoM on, and tune the rest out...because those fuckers are crazy.
