Well, this is gonna be the final column here for quite a while so let’s make it epic and long! As I mentioned last month, I’m not quite sure when or if I’ll be back, but I’ll honestly be surprised if I don’t get pulled back in at some point. I’ll still Read More

Since I’m going to be doing a podcast episode of artists’ favorite Halloween songs, I’m not going to do a Halloween list this year (though I will feature stuff on the Fandomania: Geek Music Facebook page). But this list includes some good stuff to add Read More

It’s Halloween time again, my favorite time of year! This year’s list features some really great stuff, as always, quite a few of which I found out about because of the podcast. A couple of these were released last year but didn’t make the list because Read More

It seems to me wholly appropriate that the MC known as Ultra Magnus shares a name with one of the Transformers (a fact brought home with various bits of dialogue sprinkled throughout the album and the track “Autobot Anthem”). His rap style can transform Read More

After Friday’s festivities, Saturday saw me refreshed and ready for more music. I was up relatively early to make sure to catch MC Wreckshin, who, unsurprisingly, also performed with other members of Emergency Pizza Party. It might possibly have Read More

Continuing from where I left off a couple of weeks ago, here are a few new (or at least relatively new) geeky videos. Plenty of video games, TV shows, and other pop cultural references. Plus a philosophical concept thrown in for good measure! 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

It’s new video time! Zombies, astronauts, demo versions, and even ham and cheese sandwiches (well, not quite…) figure into this list. Plus we get to end with one of my generation’s childhood heroes. So let’s get to the videos! Read More

In order to kind of ease myself out of a slump and back into writing, I thought I’d write a few brief reviews of some of the stuff that’s been released in the last few months. Given how much that is, this will be divided into multiple parts. Perhaps it Read More

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

Been saving up some good videos for a little while now, so it’s time once again to publish a list of recent nerdy videos. This one features an artist that I don’t get to mention often enough, Ben Folds Five. If you haven’t yet checked out their new Read More

I included a brief review of this album with my most recent Halloween list, mainly to make sure that I mentioned it before Halloween, but I just listened to the album again, and it deserves a much fuller review. I didn’t really do it justice in my Read More
