Explosions in the Sky 

Explosions in the Sky is a four-man post-rock band out of Austin, Texas. They've released two full length albums which I highly recommend. Only 300 CD's were made for their first CD but they do plan on rereleasing it in the not too distant future.

As of now they're working on a Travels in Costants EP.
"Have you ever heard of Explosions in the Sky?"

"No... Are they on the radio?"

"No they're not on the radio, they're better than that."

"Better than that? What are you talking 'bout?"

"As in, the radio sucks balls."

"What are you talking about? They play popular stuff that OBVIOUSLY doesn't suck balls!"

"OBVIOUSLY you've watched too much MTV and fallen into the trap that is pop culture. You, my friend, have an obscured musical taste. Let me give you some CD's to listen to - This is the good stuff."

Explosions in the Sky 

Explosions in the Sky are a post-rock group from Austin, Texas formed in 1999. Their name was supposedly inspired by the sound of fireworks.

With a few exceptions, there are no lyrics in their songs. In my opinion, this makes great studying music.

Some people are turned off by wordless music, but I would encourage anyone to give them a listen, or any music in the genre for that matter.

Explosions in the Sky has recorded four studio albums and one EP, as well as the majority of the soundtrack to Friday Night Lights, an excellent sports drama.

I have seen them in Austin once, and plan to again later this year.

Explosions Moment 

A moment when listening to Explosions in the Sky where everything for those few minutes is perfect and nothing else matters. Only that room and that moment is what it is important, not the past nor the future.

One does not realize an Explosions Moment is taking place while it is occuring. They will only come to see that it took place after it has finished happening.

Most explosions moments take place when one is high or intoxicated or about to become high or intoxicated. Explosions moments work best when one is high for it is most likely to occur at that time. This is because everyone is all riled up when they are high, and they will come to this moment where everything settles down, and if Explosions in the Sky happens to be playing then
BAM!
You've got an Explosions Moment.
"Hey Dan?"
"Yeah?"
"You're a cool kid."
"Aww, dude, your the coolest. Like, seriously. You rock."
"Whoa. Was that an explosions moment?!"
"OH SHIT BITCH, IT WAS!"

Explosions in the Sky 

A good post-rock band that does instrumental for the majority of its music.

Their album "The Earth is not a cold dead place" was okay, and Im not trying to be a music snob by any means, but some of the tracks did get a bit repetitive...
Explosions in the Sky are great, they just need to diversify a bit more...

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
