Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 10th December – Geekend Freakout – Nursehella

Nursehella is a great nerdcore rapper, who hasn’t really been active a lot in recent years, but she has released a new EP, which is awesome

This is a great song, but I warn you that it’s a bit NSFW!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 9th December – Good Old Girl – Marian Call

Marian Call is a wonderful artist from Alaska, who has featured a couple of times before.

Anyway, this is a lovely little song about spaceships and typewriters


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 8th December – It All Makes Sense at the End – Hank Green

How about a song that always gives me a tear at the end?

This song by Hank Green always makes me realise that I don’t think there is ever enough time in life to spend with those we love.


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 7th December – Marvel Poppins – The Great Luke Ski

The Great Luke Ski, or just Luke Ski, has been around on the filk scene for a very long time, this is a wonderful parody song about the Disney takeover of Marvel.

I think a lot of us were, at the time very worried, and I would like to think that for the most part the concerns have mostly been proven to be unsubstantiated.

Anyway, enjoy!


How is Hartlepool?

We have been here for a few months, and I must admit, it’s not actually that bad.

People said the neighbourhood was rough, but in all honesty, other than bonfire night, it’s been alright, but hey, I am from the west end of Newcastle so, rough is a relative term.

The sea air, as weird as it sounds, has helped, I need my inhaler a lot less and my lungs feel a lot less heavy, and there is something about waking up to a sea fret, that’s almost magical.

There are some issues here, our kitchen is so so small it’s difficult to cook in, and the wi-fi on the router is so bad we are going to invest in a mesh system.

Whilst I miss aspects of the old house, what I do like is having my own space, but I am struggling to keep it tidy.

I think in the long run the move is positive, but I do need to make sure the doctors are issuing my repeat prescriptions when needed as this far they are doing awful at that.

What I Am Modelling

I started with a trio of Kataphron Breachers for my Adeptus Mechanicus

Started off with a Praetor in Terminator Armour for my Ultramarines.

And followed up with a Techpriest Enginseer to join my Death Korps of Krieg.

After that I concentrated on the officers for the Imperial Fists and painted up a couple of Praetors first, the Legion Specific in Artificer Armour, and the Praetor Tribune.

And a Praetor in Cataprachtii Armour and Chaplin.

Then it was the Vindicare Assassin from my Warhammer + Subscription.

And then I finished a final pair of Kataphron Breachers

After which I completed an Imperial Fists Legion Champion and Master of Signals.


So what’s coming up next week?

  1. Imperial Fists Tactical Squad x 10
  2. Orruk Gutrippas x 12
  3. T’au Crisis Team x 3
  4. Imperial Fists Contemptor Dreadnought
  5. Ultramarines Intercessors x 5
  6. Silver Tower Heroes
  7. Blood Angels Repulsor
  8. Imperial Fists Templar Brethren x 10
  9. Hobgrot Slitaz x 20
  10. Leagues of Votann Kâhl & Einhyr Champion

What I Am Reading

I finished up Zachareth by Robbie MacNivan, and you can read a review of that here.

And I started Sanguinius: The Great Angel by Chris Wraight

Continuing my listening to the Doctor Who Monthly Series, I listened to The Spectre of Lanyon Moor and Winter for the Adept.

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

Wasn’t sure where to put this but my Board Game Geek Secret Santa arrived, and it’s the incredible Arkham Horror!

What Video Games I Am Playing

Darktide hit GamePass, so I got that installed on my PC.

I also decided to play my first game on the PlayStation 5, specifically God of War, which is proving rather fun so far.

What I Am Backing

The Car Wars CARnage project

I completed my Backerkit survey for the TT Combat Paints and Washes project and picked my two paints, went for Supernova Chrome and PHR Bone.

What I Am Winning

A while back I won a competition run by Durham Prints Store for anything in their Etsy shop.

So I opted for this personalised slate signed with “Kill, Maim, Burn” on it, the warcry of the World Eaters, cause I thought it would be funny!

It’s taken a few weeks but it’s finally arrived and I am super happy with it!

What I Am Spending

I need to get back to streaming properly again, and I decided to spend my sponsorship money on a new toy, an Elgato Stream Deck Pedal, which is gonna sit on my floor and be useful for things like muting the microphone, which I think the fellas on Edge of Empire will appreciate!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 6th December – Twiddles – Misbehavin’ Maidens

We all love the Misbehavin’ Maidens and their NSFW sea shanties, and this is a great one that flips the idea of a girl in every port on its head!

Its a great song, but I strongly recommended not listening to this round the bairns!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 5th December – Tribbles and Ecstasy – Warp 11

Once again, if you know me, you know how big a Trekkie I am, my earliest memory of TV is, usurpingly Star Trek: The Original Series on the small black and white TV my parents had before we moved to London.

So no surprise that I like a lot of Star Trek themed songs, and this one from Warp 11 is very cool, you should give their stuff a listen, it’s really great, and entirely about Star Trek!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 3rd December – I Pity The Fool – Molly Lewis

Let’s have a happy song today, and this was specifically written to be happy, and it’s by one of my favourite ukulele artists (I do like the ukulele a lot), Molly Lewis.

She wrote this after reading Mr Ts autobiography and the video I found of her performance has her explain this, and it’s a really fun and happy song!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 2nd December – Death Death (Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil Song) – Aurelio Voltaire

Aurelio Voltaire is a musician who is kinda hard to classify, his music is folk, but also goth, cabaret and lots more.

I enjoy his music, a lot, especially his Trek stuff, but I think this is the typoe of song that Paul, my meta, will enjoy a hell of a lot!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 1st December – Rock City News – Nerf Herder

It’s the 1st December and for the 4th year running, my nerdy music advent is back, so come back here for the next 24 days for a new nerdy song that I love and want to share!

Today we start with one of the original geek rock bands, Nerf Herder and their track Rock City News from 2002s American Cheese, its an awesome rocky song, and its a lot of fun to listen to.
