summer-tastic musica!

alright kids,

i have been wasting a lot of time lately listening to some shit-tastic music but the next two or so months will erase all that embarassment from my brain and y'all, or y'all that live in deadmonton, should come on out and be cool with me!

michelle's summer concert series:

*disclaimer: this is not MY concert series as i had NOTHING to do with the bringing of these bands to town but for the purpose of a snappy title i had dubbed it MINE so...disclaimer over*

No, I don't have any shows booked for the summer yet. Hopefully Victory sometime in July, but we'll see.

"Fractal pattern"?! Does that fall in to the mysterious category of "math rock"?

Fractals (in an appropriate sense) are the main objects of my studies. I suppose I should check out this band!

math rock...hmmm...what the fuck is math rock? i suppose they are a little math-y. more post-rock-ish but...

AHHHHHHHH all this genre stuff kills me! it's so lame but you totally should check out fractal pattern! i LOVE them!

you should ask the fp kids if they are aware of their math roots?

Ya, they know of their math roots. Some of their stuff is SUPER mathy ....weird time signatures and changes .... but it's all fucking great.

Kevin said...

I was mostly joking - is there really a category called "math rock"?!

I'm with you on the over-categorizing. It sucks.

michelle. said...

yes kevin,
there is actually a genre called math-rock...odd time signatures, stuff like that.

genres are stupid.
