francis the mute.

I scoff at your mars bars - peanut butter cups rule the galaxy of candy. I am a fan of the Volta and saw them open for System of a Down as well - don't remember so much about the sound but man can the lead signer hit those notes. They are a good band, one of the better one's out there today IMHO. Frances the Mute is a good album but their first (quasi-second) album De-Loused in the Comatorium I like better. Frances the Mute is good and it has on it the Widow which some of you may have heard on the radio, very 70's bluesy rock, but it just reminds me of Yes so much. I would recommend other's checking them out. Nils mentioned Drunkship Lanterns, that song and Roulette Dares are probably my two favorite songs of theirs. They really have a flair for naming things, huh?

I read that Saddam Hussein sent someone to London to buy up a huge stock of Mars bars before they quit making them.

Personally, I much prefer Milky Way Darks. Haven't seen one of them lately, either.

Plain old Hershy's Special Dark is fine.

What the heck's a Mars Volta? Cheap brand of battery?
