i pretty much discovered the world of the ex this year. very much a late comer but i don't give a crap. and i've only heard 3 of their cds. i got to see them 4 times this year too i just worked out so they're joined tops with LB.

i've been aware of the name for a long time but never went any further. what kinda music do they make?

this year for me has been all about talking heads 'more songs about food and buildings' and the falls 'this nations saving grace'

16 mod 11 = 5

and the modular and equality operations aren't commutative

i'll get my coat

you're the only one to get this actually right!
it's funny the way people step up and correct maths and then say "i'll get my coat" as if they were embarrassed. jimmy magee did it too. it's total horse shit. you're showing off your knowledge and pretending to be embarrassed by it. it's totally funny
