Yeah, Sanderson earned the cred on the original trilogy. It’s a fantasy series, but the magicians are basically Jedi. Great stuff!

Freeman Dyson popularized and expanded the concept of the Dyson sphere. (Technically it was in a sci-fi story first)

Buckminster Fuller based a lot of building concepts around spheres.

You can set a background as an image. And if you’re worried about it not being convincing enough, you can use a greenscreen

Except since there’s no actual GPS tracker, it uses your IP address. Microsoft thinks I live in either Virginia or North Dakota or Florida, depending on which part of the company’s VPN I connect to.

Oh Martin House, home of both amazing and also “stunt” beers. Their stouts are usually quite good and their peanut butter/golden stout “Statement of Purpose” is fantastic. Peeps was godawful. Pizza Beer was a “have to try it once”, I think they made “pickle beer” a thing, and then there’s the Mayo, Ranch Dressing, Rum Ham, Mustard…

I’ll be honest, when I first heard that Mozilla had come out with an AI I figured it was on the back of them trying a couple different ad scenarios, and assumed the worst. Pleasantly surprised by Orbit.

New EP by Rob Ford Explorer (robfordexplorer.bandcamp.com)
 

No affiliation, just following them on Bandcamp and saw this, this morning. A little harsher than their self-titled.

 

Unsure WHICH one of the TWDY this is, but tickets just went on sale.

 

Only a couple post-rock albums for me. But good on GIAA for releasing an album today! Including the others because hey, isn’t the old saying “math rock is just post rock with more Tapping?“

shikimi by te' (math)

Embers by GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT

Mantles by Layers in Lairs (math, asiwyfa/battles is my reference)

Girlfriends by Girlfriends (tappy math)

Star Showers On The Euphrates by *Ancients (so good)

Rosewood by Kaguu

 

I’m fortunate enough to be able to support bands by buying their albums. Especially today, when Bandcamp doesn’t take a cut. Here’s my Math rock portion.

shikimi by te' - Japanese instrumental post/Math Rock. Busy and fun. More on the rock side of things.

Mantles by Layers in Lairs - like Battles and ASIWYFA had a kid. Bearcubbin-related, another new band to me.

Girlfriends by Girlfriends - came really recommended. Tappy goodness. Alas, a one-shot.

Rosewood by Kaguu - Math/Prog EP that’s upbeat and whimsical.

 

No idea what the story is with this band, but was listening to it this morning and thought I’d share. Hopefully this one’s better some of you to also share.

 

Didn’t expect to ever see these guys on tour, but they have a handful of dates here. And yes, the name is a play on American Football

And Abelia (Dallas support) is great, saw them at Plus Fest. Looks like the support bands are local to their area

Title undersells it. There's an actual festival in the Netherlands this weekend, celebrating Pelagic Records bands. So there are performances by ASIWYFA (playing the entire new album), Oh Hiroshima, The Ocean (playing the entirety of Pelagic) and a ton more. Free livestream, here's Saturday's video.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNKIcVHQ56M.

Sunday has The Ocean again, but also Ihsahn. I'm psyched to see Spurv, Briqueville, and EF. Tell your post-rock/post-metal/math-rock friends!

 

Parts remind me of Battles, but also Zefs Chasing Cara. Electronic-twinged math-rock.

Math/pop - Orchards (orchardslive.bandcamp.com)
 

twinkly math-pop with vocals. Guitar effects sometimes remind me of ASIWYFA. Surprisingly nice.

 

I have no idea why this is in my library, but I came across it trying to figure out which artists I listened to qualified as math rock, and these guys sound like a combination of Battles and Legos, at least this track does.

 

Saw this band at plus fest in Denton this past weekend. Very impressed with them. Hope y’all dig this!
