Hyperbolic Logic

My friend Tim just put up this video of his bmx riding and I had to post it.  He is doing some amazing stuff.

Here’s a cool interview from a band I like a lot, called Ahleuchatistas. They talk about some intersting things in the interview. I really hope to see them live. Near the end they show some concert footage and you see the lone guy dancing crazily that always seem to show up at things like this. Here is a note on thier last CD.

“Leaving audiences slack-jawed in amazement at South by Southwest, punk-rock dives across the USA and jazz festivals in Europe, the Ahleuchatistas and their unique, high-energy, instrumental, technical, undefinable trio music for guitar, bass and drums continue to reach new heights as a performing and a recording unit. If they come to your town, you must see them; there is no one – and I mean no one – who can match them at what they do. Even in the Midst… is their fourth album and the years together playing hundreds and hundreds of shows have created one of the most amazingly tight ensembles that you will ever hear or see. This album widens their sound a little bit; there’s plenty of the insane, over-the-top playing that we’ve come to expect, but there’s more room for improvisation here and also for more quiet moments as well. The CD contains an 8 page, full color booklet of Courtney Chappell’s beautiful and disturbing artwork. With this album, both in terms of the sonics of the album and the performance itself, the band have made their best recorded statement yet.

“…just great, fun music.”- Lucid Forge

“…what innovative metal groups have been trying to do for some time – Ahleuchatistas finally makes sense out of the unexpected and extreme, giving up none of its ingenuity. (9.25/10)” – Maelstrom

“Their quirky cross between new music composition and raw punk energy will have the self-appointed genre limiters scratching their heads for the rest of the year. The rest of us can just enjoy it and hope there’ll be more…” – New Music Box

“…they’re astonishingly together even on passages where it seems impossible to stay in sync.” – Pitchfork

“A wonder of complex rhythms, virtuoso musicianship and a name that’s really, really hard to pronounce.” – Go & Do

Here is an example of some of their other stuff.  This one is a little show offey but still really good.

I just got a record from them in the mail, only $10 shipped from the company in France! Unfortunately the needle is broken on my record player, gotta get that fixed soon.
