new math for old equations



many moons ago a friend - known by the moniker of math dance or t-bone - turned me onto the genre known as, 'math rock' through owls and joan of arc ... scare quotes aside, i am a hug fan of angular guitars and chaotic percussion... so, i have repeatedly tried to make a mix to emphasize this point (this has been a 3 month process), but i can never bring the number of songs down to under 20... anyway, the result of my indecisiveness, after hours of humming and hawing, is below... including a couple difficult to track down owls tracks...


one of my all time favourite bands
  1. owls - we are the owls
  2. owls - later
  3. owls - what whorse you wrote id on*
  4. owls - everyone is my friend
  5. owls - anyone can have a good time*
  6. owls - holy fucking ghost***




incestuous bands (including the owls above)

7. joan of arc - gin & platonic*
8. joan of arc - white out
9. cap'n'jazz - little league
10. make believe - say what you mean
11. make believe - ep track two

15. wooden stars - orphans
16. wooden stars - boating accident**

22. marnie stern - transformer
23. maps & atlases - witch*
24. maps & atlases - artichokes
