Music news Notorious Crib Notes commenter MATH4EVA sums up Atlanta music in 2012
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 12:45 PM
I plan to start a fucking badass math rock band in the vein of the greatest band of all time, Don Cab. I want to talk to some of the dudes who were in Sorry No Ferrari or Blame Game about getting together and starting a badass band. I plan to learn how to play drums and I hope I can create a shit storm of awesome drum patterns that arpeggiated guitars could perfectly be played over. It’s hard because I live in a basement apartment and the people who live above me get kind of ticked off when I play music really loud. They are all like "Hey Stan can you turn that shit down?" And I am like in my underwear and high and like sorry I was just getting into that shit and my girlfriend is totally out of town.
I hope that math rock makes a comeback. Atlanta has had some badass math rock bands like Blame Game, Sorry No Ferrari, Purkinje Shift, Rizzudo, Car Vs. Driver (they are fucking legendary), and Ocelot. Those bands all ruled. I really hope Vegan Coke has a fucking stellar year in 2012. They rule and kind of have a Hella thing going for them. Maybe we can get more bands to sound like that. Purkinje shift should play more shows. They fucking ruled when they played at 529.
… That dude Cousin Dan could stop playing music.
I got so much shit for stealing his drink one night at the Star Bar. I was like that guy who sounds likes a robot and looks like a disco ball? That guy is popular? Also less vocals. I mean vocals are ok. Also, could rap groups sound like Wu Tang Clan? I don't understand instrumental hip-hop. It’s like a band without vocals rule, but a hip-hop band without vocals is boring. Also bars could have more drink specials. The 529 does a black label beer special where it’s like a dollar or something. That rules. I love to drink for cheap. Also free shows rule. Cheap drinks and free shows mean my girlfriend and I can go out. It totally makes it worth it to make the drive from Marietta. It just sucks that so many bands from Atlanta blow so hard.

While I think Mathrock is complete horseshit, the dude's got a right to his opinion. Trolling about how lame math4eva seems is just a waste of time. Why don't some of you backwoods idiots just offer up what you think is decent in the scene. I for one hope that I get to see more Coathangers shows and Back Pockets shows. That's where the scene's really poppin.
fuck man Marietta sucks. its just like I have a fucking lease and its cheap and my job is close by. Do coathangers and back pockets rule? Do they have bad ass intricate as shit solos and bad ass drums? I'm going to have to check that shit out. thanks for letting me talk about this shit now lets get a fucking math rock band started and blow this shit outta the water. My girlfriend says I can have band practices on Sunday nights because that is when she has lady's night out or some shit. Either way if you are into math rock and want to rock the fuck out on sundays please hit me up.
OyDave - How bout offering up some bands here - maybe? Lame jokes at the expense of a poster who's trying to take this scene seriously is just rude, man. Do you even care?
MATH4EVA - You seem like a decent dude that cares about the scene, and I can appreciate that. I just moved here not too long ago from Columbia SC - home of NO SCENE. Fuck, we're known for Hootie. I really like chick bands (like Coathangers and Back Pockets like I mentioned) but I've seen some other cool stuff, too. You guys really like garagey shit here in the ATL. It's OK, but it's not that great. I did hit some kind of festival or something at The Earl and kinda liked General Jesse. The Baracudas were not bad either, but there was some fat guy from New Orleans (I think) called King Libby (or something like that) that kinda blew. I didn't buy any records that night, and that usually means I didn't like anything THAT much. The crowd was cool, though.
Yeah man I've never been to Columbia but I could see it being a bit rough. I have never seen those bands. I'm not really into chick bands but I guess if they can wail on guitar and bring on the awesome drum solos I could be into it. I fucking understand about buying records at shows. I can't afford to buy records at shows after driving from Marietta, buying drinks for myself and my girlfriend, and paying to get into a show. I bought a sorry no ferrari cd at one of their shows since they fucking rule so hard. Did you get to see them? They fucking ruled but fucking went and broke up. They have some new band or some shit but I wasn't into it.
There are three kinds of people in the world - those who like math rock, and those who don't.
Man sorry no ferrari rules but I don't get why you had to remix this shit. It started out fucking perfect you know but well it still rules but like it was perfect to begin with. Math rock is so fucking good I hope people don't like have to fuck with it with their fucking laptops but like if it gets more math rock bands to play or some shit I might be down. Battles seems down with that shit but I don't get it.
Man, I haven't seen those Sorry Ferrari dudes. I haven't been here that long. I don't remember them playing Columbia. Do they still play around? I don't like math rock, but I'll check them out if you think they're that cool, dude. I did check out that Cousin Dan dude on youtube that you think sucks and, damn if you aren't right. Some pretty weak shit. I don't know if you ever heard of a dude named Har Mar Superstar, but Cousin Dan seems to be biting his whole act, except with less talent and a fuckload of autotune. Check that dude out on youtube if you get a chance. He played Columbia once when I was still in high school, and it was rad.
I went back to youtube after I sent that last message and watched a couple more Cousin Dan vids. I just couldn't believe the lameness, and had to look again. If was like not being able to take your eyes of the retarded kid eating soup even though you know you should stop staring. It was that bad. You were so right on dude. Just had to say it.
