Here's something weird... The Mathletes, live on PBS, looking very serious (and uncomfortable) while playing a song about a depressed, crippled unicorn who may or may not end up committing suicide. Camera angles galore! (Seriously, this was totally on PBS for some reason)
Otherwise: computers and crayons and depressive Saturday-morning cartoon characters, really loud and anxious shrugging, Peter Pan tripping on the stairs and spraining his ankle, dancing vegetables, a fifteen-year-old who makes a video of himself singing a Michael Jackson song and dancing around the room and somehow some kids he goes to school with find the tape and put it on the internet and the kid has no choice but to commit suicide, Lou Barlow if he had two penises.
Hi, we're The Mathletes. We have lots of songs. Currently we are trying to figure out how to best get as many of them out into the world as effectively as possible.

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.
We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.
So, that being said, I hope you download it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you let us know. Thanks again. Micro out...
