Yes. The Lamia gig is on and getting rapidly closer. Oh lordy!!! Will those naughty BMs be ready in time? Will they find where to leave their children? Will they remember their songs? Will they be scared of doing a live after such a long break? Will they freeze on stage and fuck it all up?
Well who knows! We’re game anyway… So rehearsals are hotter than they have been for quite some time. And now we’re committed and as any of you people who know us will remember BAD MATHEMATICS ARE NOTHING IF NOT COMMITTED!!! Right?
i hate public transport
Published February 29, 2012 | 
i think i pretty much deserve to get a bloody medal for having survived a year and a half as a regular commuter. and since i discovered that the monthly travel card for the bus and trolley was only 20 euros as opposed to 45 euros (!!!!!!) for everything, i should also get a commendation for having battled through the sweatiest, dodgy bits of town, every weekday, on the worst forms of public transport. i could have called this post “i hate people” but that would be unfair to the vast majority, who are very nice, normal people, that i encounter on my journeys. but. there are ten “types” who make travelling quite unbearable (actually, not just travelling. they make life unbearable):
people who feel the need to share their intimate mobile phone calls about their mother-in-laws embarrassing gas problems with their fellow passengers
people who cannot seem to work out that those people who are on the bus, need to get off before they can get on
people who ask you where the bus is going and then, after you’ve told them, proceed to ask every other person on the bus, as if everyone is either stupid, lying or has got nothing better to do than pass twenty-five minutes taking about bus routes.
people who sit next to you and read your book
people who see you reading a book in english and give you filthy looks
people who sit on you, stand on your foot or smack you in the eye and don’t even realise they’ve done it
people who complain loudly about foreigners destroying the country
people who mutter in agreement with the assholes above
drivers who seem to think they are doing you a favour by even stopping at the bus stop, let alone waiting for you to get on or off
driver who talk on their mobiles (loudly), drink coffee and feel it necessary to share their horrible pop skiladiko with everyone. these are often the same ones as the ones above
now i’ve got to ten, i could probably go on but i’ll throw open the floor to you, dear reader… any quibbles, quarrels or quims (sorry, private joke with vishy) you’d like to share.
go on.
share it in the comments.
you’ll feel better.
you know you want to…
sad searches
Published February 27, 2012 | 
last post for today i promise (i might be lying though). i’m always fascinated by the way people randomly arrive at our blog. in third place for the most popular search terms is “haig” (with 189 hits). undoubtedly, whiskey has helped put bad mathematics where we are now i.e absolutely nowhere, which just goes to prove that drinking is bad for you.
in second place “spam” (with 827 hits) which just goes to prove that people still eat a lot of crap. in fact, here’s a few of the different spam searches that brought people here.
spam pics (you need a picture?)
spam less sodium (hmmm, perhaps you should think about giving up spam?)
spam hot and spicy (is this someone looking for a spam porn site? probably very disappointed then)
but the most popular? surprisingly, it’s “cargo pants” (with 936 hits to date) and a couple of “kargo pantolonlar” and “kargo pantolon” thrown in to prove that we are charmingly multicultural here. just goes to show that we are at the cutting edge of the fashion industry too.
honourable mentions go to the following searches:
“nerves” (as in “get on mine”?)
“beware of the dog” (must get one to growl at silly searchers)
“pink paparazzi” (great name for a cocktail)
“photoshop see through clothes” (way too much time on their hands)
“girl with no makeup on” (obviously a stalker) and “old people with no makeup on” (lots of stalkers)
however, the big prizes must go to the bizarre searches for “academically challenged people” and “small brain” and a big fat fail to google for directing them here.”brain the size of a planet” (that’s more like it). “famous people who were not good at math” (yes!). “dodgy testicles” (that one made me wet myself a bit) and “famous people doing stupid things picture” (come to our next gig!)
[all these searches are real. and i had a lot of fun looking through them all]
alt-j
Published February 27, 2012 | by coincidence, alt-j is also from leeds (like soulmates never die in the post below). tipped as someone to watch in 2012 by several of the music sites i’ve been visiting recently.
they’re obviously putting something in the water up there in leeds…
soulmates never die
Published February 27, 2012 | wandering around the world of music blogs can be a painful experience. blog after corporate blog playing and promoting the same old crap. you might notice, dear reader that i am in the process of developing what is called (rather naffly i think) a “blogroll”. it’s just where you put links to sites that you like to save your friend and reader having to bother trawling the internets. i discovered, to my pleasure, that there are a number of quirky music blogs out there hosted by people who care about music and don’t give a flying fart about what we’re “supposed” to be listening to or what’s trendy. have a quick shifty at the blogroll if you fancy it. but if you don’t, i’ll post some bits and pieces discovered from them, here on the blog.
to get the ball rolling, here’s a new genre that my bands better than your band calls “fuzz folk”. soulmates never die writes
…. songs about things. Things like Colonel Sanders, Meteorology and Gravy. Anyone who writes songs about gravy wins
deliciously geeky and intriguing.
i like.
