Interesting article about the music and ethics of math-rock: http://indiealbany.com/2010/12/02/the-reified-math-rock-dichotomyhow-to-be-an-amateur-math-rocker/

My position is more or less the opposite, but it's still an interesting read.

interesting article. i agree with some of his findings especially with : ''Melody is all but overlooked, if it exists at all'' to which i agree, that is i think and major part why most of the people don't like math rock, it's far too complex to digest.

And this was funny: LOL

So here’s my amateur math rock equivalent of the infamous punk rock Sniffing Glue’s ‘here’s a chord, here’s another, now go start a band’:

Start stop – Any amateur can pretty easily get the weird start stop dynamics (sort of like an indie rock in joke that isn’t hard to get but gets funnier and funnier and easier to understand every time you tell it). Play a note. Hold it for five seconds. Stop. Hold for five seconds. Repeat. Until it’s no longer funny or annoying.
Non-standard tuning – Twist the tuning knobs until they match a note on another string. For extra credit, twist the knobs so that a string or two matches another string entirely.
‘Angularity’ (see also dissonance) – Play something that doesn’t sound right. Now play it again. And again. Now try to sing over it.

Anyway, did you hear the new Mogwai ? not their best, but i liked it, there are few highlights on the albums like: White Noise, Rano Pano, Death Rays ..

Yeah same! I especially love Kukuriku Part 1 and Follow the Star. But yeah, I met Dario at Nearfest 2009, and we've been e-mailing back and forth. They liked our stuff so they asked us to support them when they come to the US next summer.

I saw Anathema live in concert yesterday, perfect show, amazing performance, i was stunned, they played almost entire new album, few tracks from Judgement, they even played one of my favorite tracks which they rarely play it - A Dying Wish, one of the best shows i've ever seen. Anathema are a must-see

Wow... Long time since I visited this thread! I just wanted to say that I saw Explosions in the Sky the other day and they were pretty damn epic!

I heard about that concert, I even opened a thread about it. Maybe you'll do a short review? Big smile

I wished they'd tour more...
