Introduction

All things have a beginning. The Bedlam in Goliath, the fourth studio album by acclaimed progressive rock band The Mars Volta, began with a series of unfortunate events and remains one of the most bizarre and elusive mysteries in all of music history. This, my Bedlam in Goliath, is not that. It is an outlet. A pipeline. A means through which my thoughts and opinions can be expressed. No supernatural, otherworldly Quija boards here. Just the musings of a mad man. So why have I named it such? It's quite simple, really. I liked the name. A lot.
