Why Not Wednesday: Write a Song

It you haven’t caught the themes lately, I’ve managed to write a number of posts that back-relate to Pi-Con. This may be the last one. For now. Dawn and I also seem to be on a music kick this week. Anyway, going to the songwriting workshop isn’t what inspired this post, but it did give [...]

Music Monday: Rebecca Angel

I figure a good way to add to my recent post on attending your local con is to talk about a musician I met there! I said that Rebecca Angel ran an excellent songwriting workshop, and I’m pretty sure that’s because she’s also an excellent musician. On top of that, she’s a geek, a mom, [...]

Music Monday: Corpus Callosum

Today’s band is a new discovery for me as well. I first heard of this band while listening to a geeky music station on 8Tracks. When I heard their song, Descartes Daughter, I knew I had found my selection for Music Monday and had to listen no further. Of course, I did continue to listen, [...]

Music Monday: Hello, The Future!

I love my little network of geeks on twitter because I learn about cool things that I didn’t know before. I previously found Sunspot on twitter and today’s band is another great twitter find, with a completely different sound: Hello, The Future. The Background Story Nicole is a self-made musician with a starter guitar and [...]

Music Monday: Atom and His Package

Here’s an interesting one for you, and a little bit of a throwback as well. Today’s band has a dash of geek, no shortage of synthesizer punk rock, and a whole lot of point of view. I bring you: Atom and His Package.

Music Monday: Science Fair

If there is anything I like more than nerdy science music, it’s nerdy science music for a cause. In this case, one of my favorite causes: getting girls interested in science and engineering! So, today’s Music Monday isn’t about a specific artist, but about a new album called Science Fair. The goal of this album [...]

Music Monday: We Are Scientists

Today’s band is one I used to listen to all the time back in high school, and just recently revisited. And you know what, I can’t believe I forgot how great they are! I present to you We Are Scientists.

Music Monday: Brandon Patton

If the world of geek music is like a big party, there are definitely some folks who are more social than others, and Brandon Patton definitely knows how to get around. You may have seen Brandon (partially because I’ve gushed about him before) playing bass for people such as MC Frontalot and Jonathan Coulton, but [...]

Music Monday: Armcannon

I saw Armcannon perform as an opener for The Protomen an Powerglove out in Buffalo, NY a couple months ago, and I really liked what I heard. Armcannon is a videogame band based local to that area, and got the chance to perform because one of their members was part of the tour. Danimal Cannon [...]

Music Monday: Sunspot

I love randomly discovering new bands, and this is one of my newest finds from twitter: Sunspot. They are a rock group but with some seriously geeky topics. Their sound reminds my of a lot of my favorite 80s classics, only with a little more electronic sound and a few more Star Trek references. The [...]
