JimK writesTop Five (Make That Seven) Songs About Math
Clearly there need to be seven entries into this list, seven being the number reached after six, without proceeding to eight. Because if you bump the table too hard, eight may tip over onto its side, and become infinity…ain’t nobody got time for that.∞
1. "Never Ending Math Equation" by Modest Mouse
So good. “The plants and the animals eat each other,” which is kind of a math story problem. You want Mandelbrot? “…infinity spirals out of creation…” OH. The main creative force in this band, Isaac Brock, has had his share of getting a little out of balance, but man he writes some good lyrics. If you don’t care for his noisy musical palette, check out Sun Kil Moon’s cover of the song.
