The Songs in My Head

"Three of a Perfect Pair" by King Crimson. I really dig some of those 80's King Crimson albums, especially songs featuring a odd-time guitar riff repeated over and over. I like "Discipline," where the guitar riff is repeated on one guitar, and a second guitar will play the same riff, but drop a beat each time so that it seems out-of-time with the first guitar. Then after several cycles of playing "off," each time getting one beat further apart from the main riff, the second guitar eventually lines up with the first one so they are in unison again.

I think I just took a whole paragraph to announce I'm a nerd who likes math rock.
