It’s hard to believe that I’ve been writing this column for a little over three years. My first real introduction to writing about geek music was Nerdapalooza 2010. My first column under the “Geek Music” banner was published just before NAP (I did Read More

Since I had so many videos this year, I thought I’d split the list in two. For this section, I’ve included a few videos I shot at Nerdapalooza this year. I’ve also decided to include semi-related videos / songs that are a little bit outside of the Read More

So this year I thought I wasn’t even going to get up to thirteen tracks at first, but somehow over the last couple of weeks I’ve managed to accumulate even more than my usual thirteen. For that reason, I’ve decided to split the list into two parts, with Read More

Before I get into this month’s list of new releases, I want to mention that I’m going to be taking a little bit of time off. I’m working on a retrospective of my three years writing this column that I hope to have published around Nerdapalooza in Read More

This is pretty much a continuation of the previous list, but since it’s now September, it has a slightly different name (plus more videos since a few extras came to my attention since the last was published). Yay, naming conventions! Anyway, this week Read More

In this installment of geek music videos, we’ll see video game related videos, a skewering of the whole “fake geek girls” thing, some oldies that I’ve just discovered, and even a song about KFC. Enjoy! Read More

And now for more (relatively) new releases. Once again we have a mix of old and new. Read More

Well, I’ve been collecting various new releases for a while now, so it’s time once again to write up a few short blurbs about some cool stuff. In the coming installments, we’ll have a few video game based albums, an album about science, and some Read More
