With 2012 gone and 2013 just beginning, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the geek music that was released last year. We haven’t had quite as many major releases as the previous year, but that doesn’t make any of the music any less enjoyable. Read More

Christmas time is here… And it’s time for another list of geeky music! Many of them from this year’s list were actually released last year just after I published my list. That’s why I decided to delay the list as long as possible this year, but I have a Read More

This year’s list features more Cthulhu than in the past. I was inspired by the fact that my students are actually reading an H.P. Lovecraft story, “The Outsider,” right now. Yes, I’m totally trying to drive my students crazy. Read More

After my epic, four part recap of Nerdapalooza 2012, I’ll try to keep this report on the shorter side. Once Nerdapalooza was over, there was still a bit more geek music to come. Monday night brought us The Day After concert at The Haven. A few artists Read More
