The Mars Volta, "De-Loused in the Comatorium"
from So So / Cool Hosted by Joe Basile, Brandon Kisner, Matthew Ferry
It’s time to put down your half-eaten corneas, prepare the flinched cocooned meats, and dress the tapeworm as pets because this week we’re getting lost in the uncanny dream world of The Mars Volta’s 2003 album, "De-Loused in the Comatorium". Join us as we journey back to the early 2000s revival of prog rock. Were our pants too tight back then? Was Joe in fact Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s doppelgänger? What was a prog rock band Matthew didn’t realize was a prog band at the time? Yes, yes and Yes. Things get more heated though as we discuss whether the opening track is as cool as we remember it. We even recruited our first special guest, a world-renowned physicist, to help us try to decipher the mysteries of the comatorium, including the meaning of Ectopic Shape-shifting Penance-propulsion. Be sure to support the artists by purchasing "De-Loused in the Comatorium" on iTunes or wherever you get your music.
