the Mars Volta

A band that originated in Texas from post-punk At the Drive In, (also a great band), and decided to reform to develop numerous concept albums. The first, being De-Loused in the Comatorium (the story of a past band member Julio Venegas who commited suicide), is a masterpiece, blending Latin roots (some members are hispanic), trademark post-punk rock riffs, jazzy interludes, progressive and experimental synthesization and much more to create a deep, emotion-filled record. Their recent release, Frances the Mute, is just as legendary, yet focuses more on the song length and digital paraphernalia rather than conventional song-structure. And for the Mars Volta, this is definetely a good thing.

The Mars Volta are indeed a special group of musicians. Their cd booklets are strewn with philosophical and aesthetically stimulating images and words, fueling their contemplative sound. They cross many boundaries and break the barrier between conformity and musical subconsciousness. They are madly orginal and insanely creative.

Phyllis DiTulip

1)The funniest kid at school who always seems to be wearing the same shoes as me....also known as Bob or Phylosophical Phyllis. Has a fascination for soy-cheese, met the Red Hot Chili Peppers in an elevator and is the coolest dude on earth!

2)Anything that is TOTALLY funny and cool!

1)Phyllis DiTullip took a dump in the boys' bathroom and kathy passed out on the way to the nurse's office.

2)DUUDE!!! When Daron Malakian wore that BUCK FUSH t-shirt onstage and then let me take it off and lick his belly, it was the most Phyllis DiTulip moment of my whole life.

Up-talking

When one, particularly a younger person, ends every phrase and sentence as if it were a question. This practice could be derived from the "valley girl" excuse for talking during the nineties, but many people still do it today out of uncontrollable habit.

Teacher: Okay Tommy, it's your turn to present.

Tommy: oKAY(?) I was at the STORE(?) And there was the GUY(?) and like...

Teacher: okay. NEXT.

groupie

The untalented who follow the talented around, to try and get some talent rubbed off unto their dull, talentless shoulders.

Why the hell would you be a groupie?! Be a roadie instead, you get to handle all the neat guitars, set up lights and tech stuff, and if you *accidentally* get to sleep with one of the bandmates, people won't call you a slut, they'll just say you're friends with benefits....goddamn stereotypes...
