baseball hardball

Any video where someone pelvic thrusts into a baseball is worth watching.

Music Time: The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta is a band that seems to be quite popular recently. They just released a cd. Which is mostly harmless, except that it sounds horrible.

If you want to listen to it, you can here. Viscera eyes is the song that's been played on satelite radio a lot, so I'll talk about that one.

First they lay down a nice guitar lick. Then they play a guitar solo over it, and it just doesn't fit. Then the singing starts, which is really incomprehensible high pitched singing. I'm pretty sure it's latin, but it just doesn't fit. The whole song keeps going on just like this until the end which sounds like the song is being played on a crappy radio for a couple of seconds to remind you they are a "prog" band. Then it goes back to the same old licks. The worst part may be the ending, which sounds like the begining of a guitar solo being cut of very early.

It really just sounds like some people through some loops together in Acid Music Studio, and got someone to sing high pitch gibberish over it.

I just don't see how people like the mars volta.

It probably helps that he looks strangely like the very funny Tobias Funke from Arrested development with a beard and fro.

Tobias (top) looks like the guy on the left of the bottom picture from Mars Volta.


Overall, The Mars Volta is a lame band.

5. The oozinator, chances are you've seen this video. How did this slip cby unnoticed by the approval boards?



4. Head On. This commercial is so annoying repetitive and dumb. But it is memorable.


3. Arbys. I just picked one of this type of commercial. There's just so many that try to be funny and aren't. This is one of those.
