Weekend Wildcard - Roulette Dares (The Haunt of) by The Mars Volta

This Weekend's Wildcard is Roulette Dares (The Haunt of) by The Mars Volta. This is off of their 2003 debut album De-Loused in the Comatorium. This song is very hectic at times but don't let that scare you off. This was the song that first made me a fan of the band.

The concept album is an hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who enters a week-long coma after overdosing on a mixture of morphine and rat poison. The story of Cerpin Taxt alludes to the death of El Paso, Texas artist — and Bixler-Zavala's friend — Julio Venegas.
