Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 5th December – Write Like the Wind (George R. R. Martin) – Paul & Storm

How long has it been since we got a Song of Ice and Fire book, and will George R. R. Martin complete the series in his lifetime, and will it wipe out the disappointment of the last season of Game of Thrones!

That is exactly what Paul & Storm are asking here


Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 4th December – BiTrektual – Aurelio Voltaire

Its been a couple of years since our good friend Aurelio Voltaire was featured and still, he is hard to classify, he really does transcend genres!

Oh and Paul likes him after I introduced him!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 3rd December – Robots – Flight of the Conchords

STUPIDLY FORGOT TO HIT THE PUBLISH BUTTON SO THIS IS A DAY LATE

Flight of the Conchords, formally New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo, somehow have managed to not be featured here before, and I am rectifying this today!

This song Robots imagines a future in which all the humans are dead and the robots have taken over the world, and well with the development of AI, this might really happen sooner rather than later!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 2nd December – Zelda Jiggle – K-Face Rules

I grew up in the UK so Nintendo wasn’t really a big thing for us other than the Game Boy, the first Nintendo I personally owned was a Nintendo 64 for Goldeneye!

So my first exposure to Zelda was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which I did enjoy, but I didn’t have the same attachment to it as people who grew up with the series.

But the series has grown on me with subsequent releases, though I still have Breath of the Wild on my to play list.

So this song doesn’t quite hit all the nostalgia bits for me, but its still fun to listen to!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 1st December – Wreck It, Wreck It Ralph! – Buckner & Garcia

This duo is best known for Pac-Man Fever, both the song and album, which were possible the first video game songs to really go mainstream back before I was even born!

This song was written and recorded for the amazing Disney film Wreak It Ralph which was such a joy to watch with all of its amazing video game references.

The overall soundtrack from the film is utterly amazing, Henry Jackman really captures the Chiptune lighting in a bottle.

If you have never seen Wreak It Ralph, I urge you to go do so now, drop everything you won’t regret it!
