Heh, it's Pi day. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about mathematics, but you have to wonder if there's some more advanced civilization out there that sets "1" to Pi, for whatever reason. You know, how the US uses Fahrenheit even though it's retarded in the face of Celsius. Our planet doesn't get it, that if our number system was perfect then Pi wouldn't be a non-repeating non-terminating decimal. Perhaps, if we some how realigned our sciences then Pi would instead be a whole number. This is, of course, totally impossible, but I'm sure if Douglas Adams was still around he could have worked it into a Dirk Gently book.

("What do you mean that Pi is a whole number?" Dirk asked incredulously. "Why yes! A couple years ago we decided that all this fussing over how long Pi is was getting rather needless. We elected instead to set Pi to a whole number and then re-decide everything else around that!" a rather small man in tiny glasses quipped. "But that's ridiculous," Dirk opined, "what happens if I only have a single item of something? I've got a third of Pi?" "No, of course not! A single item is equivalent to one point zero four seven one, repeating onward from there, Pi. You see...")

I watched some interviews with this band, which consists of some quiet mousy dude and a somewhat annoying Asian chick, online somewhere. I think it may have been in their podcasts in iTunes. The podcasts were only notable for the fact that they discuss the creation process behind a few of the songs on the album. What's funny is that each one is almost exactly the same: the guy says, "I had this idea, so I made it, and then I sent it to her to work on," and then the chick goes, "Yeah he sent me what he had and it was total rubbish so then I just changed it up quite a bit."

Every time. There is not a song where she ever says anything nice about the guy's work at all.

I mostly just enjoy this album by Blonde Redhead because their lyrics remind me of foreigners with a poor grasp of English. She doesn't really sing lead on this track, but on other ones she sounds like Cartman's bad Chinese caricature from the Indy Rape episode. Not to get into touchy territory, but it kind of cracks me up really bad. On top of that the songwriting is just silly for the most part. On one song, Publisher, the guy sings, "say what you say, say it like a cat"

How do cats say things?

On another she sings, "twenty-three magic, if you change the name of love", which just reminds me of the silly phrases you find on stuff at Morning Glory. Things like, "Ah, first day of school. Perhaps happiness today! with this pretty Notebook.. true dreams come." My favorite on the site so far is this New York notebook which isn't so much poorly written as broken into lines perfectly arranged to evoke maximum retardation.

Lucky the music kicks ass and even if it's all a little ridiculous, it's still fun to listen to.
