If you’re a fan of pop punk that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and you enjoy robots, you really owe it to yourself to check out the modrats. I’m glad I did; Huzzah is right up my alley in terms of the type of music I’ve been listening to since high school.

As much as I enjoy and appreciate nerdcore, hip-hop is not a genre that I really grew up with. Simple melodic music, however, is closer to what I’m used to, and that’s what Debs & Errol provide.

As the self-appointed biggest fan of Wil Wheaton at Fandomania, I have been looking forward to this since it was announced. I was not disappointed, to say the least. With the king and queen of the geeks (Wil and Felicia) writing it, how could it possibly not be good?

Richie Branson, he of the Star Wars: The Old Republic and Gundam Wing mixtapes, wants to bring nerdcore to a wider audience. Since he’s already made a name for himself as a producer, it’s entirely possible he might be able to do it. Toward that end, he has begun what he calls “Otaku Tuesdays” in which he creates songs about various anime series.

With the highly anticipated Avengers movie being released on May 4, it just seemed like an obvious choice to put together a list of songs about The Avengers. Some of the tracks are actually about the characters themselves, others simply share names with the characters, and some are about the “original” versions of the characters.

Mega Ran, aka Random, is publishing three EPs, a comic book, and a video game that are all interconnected. He’s been working on the project for three years, and now he has more than enough funding for his project. BUT, if he can get just a little bit more, he can add even more cool stuff, including videos and radio promotion.

In anticipation of Wordburglar’s upcoming album, 3rdburglar, ‘Burg has released a video for the single, “Rhyme O’Clock.” I’m only familiar with Wordburglar from Backburner’s Heatwave album, so I’m looking forward to hearing this album. This track really whets my appetite.

I did a little digging and realized that Buffy the Vampire Slayer just had its fifteenth anniversary back on March 10. Although I’m a little late to the party, I decided this would be a good occasion for a musical tribute to one of my favorite TV shows.

After last week’s dream covers list, I thought I’d return to some actual real covers performed by various geeky artists. Some have been featured before, others are new, but they’re all good covers. And there seem to be an awful lot of JoCo and Frontalot tracks this time (and one that sort of combines them both!). Hope nobody minds!

What would be some interesting, but sometimes unexpected, covers for different geeky artists to perform? For my April Fools’ edition, I will attempt to answer the question: wouldn’t it be awesome if this artist performed this song?
