With The Divine Gamble, Sulfur and cecilnick deliver a philosophical and theological album (no surprise, given the title). This might seem to present a problem or a challenge to an atheist like me, but I have absolutely no problem with anyone else’s Read More

The Doubleclicks’ Lasers and Feelings makes for a worthy follow-up to last year’s wonderful Chainmail and Cello (and that’s saying something since it was in my top 15). While keeping with the basics of cello and guitar / ukulele, The Doubleclicks Read More

Kirby Krackle’s new album, Sounds Like You, takes them in some different directions without losing the spirit of their previous releases. In fact, there’s a hint of that right there in the title: pretty much anyone can relate to the songs, geek or not Read More

In honor of Adam WarRock’s annual Donation Drive (running June 24 to July 3, 2013; yes, I’m a little late due to being on vacation), I thought this would be a good time to explore his music. Sure, I’ve mentioned him several times before, but since he’s Read More

Geek Pride Day is May 25. I’ve previously celebrated nerd girls; this month, let’s celebrate all geeks and nerds with songs of all kinds. Read More

I’ve mentioned steampunk music a few times before in this column, but I’ve never really explored it systematically. Of course this list is not even remotely exhaustive (although I will probably explore more bands in the future). So, without further ado, Read More
