Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 19th December – Download This Song – MC Lars

I am not sure why we have never featured MC Lars before, but this is a great song from 2006, and its all about the paradigm shift that my generation did in terms of going from buying physical music to downloading it, not always legally.

The video is great and has a lot of fun poking at the styles of the time and the way brands like Apple and Microsoft marketed music services and players at us.

Now I feel very old!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 18th December – Banned from Argo – Leslie Fish

Lets head right back to the distant past of 1977 for a relatively old but classic piece of Filk, Banned from Argo.

This song was one of the first Filk songs I ever heard and I think I was about 6 or 7 and I thought it was quite funny then, I think perhaps I watched too much Star Trek at that age even, considering that there were only 79 episodes, and we only had very bad copies on a mix of BetaMax and VHS, that was quite a feat!

Anyway enjoy this absolute classic!

I am afraid recordings of this classic by Leslie, are difficult to find online which is a real shame, I hope one day that’s sorted out so we can continue to share this classic!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 17th December – Letter to SquareSoft – Richie Branson

I think all of us who love videogames, think that the games of the past were much better than those made today, and yeah I think I fall into that catagory.

This is a great Nerdcore wrap by music producer turned rapper Richie Branson of his love of SquareSofts games of the past, and his wish for the old company to return in place of the SquareEnix we know today.


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 16th December – That Doesn’t Make Sense – Whitney Avalon

This is an interesting little song about two parents trying to explain religion to a curious child, and about learning what each faith beleives.

If you know me, you know I am a Baha’i, not a particularly good one, still a work in in progress, but like most others of my faith, I believe that its not immune from criticism and ridicule, and i often find songs like this to be very amusing.

But as we are a relatively small and young faith, we rarely get made fun of!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 15th December – Xena – Meri Amber

And catching us up, here is Meri Amber, a regular to the Advent with Xena, a song which is about being a strong woman, who get back up even when heartbroken.

And lets face it, Xena was better than Hercules, and in real life Lucy Lawless is the nicer person!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 14th December – Born Weird – Nerf Herder

In this advent, I have yet to feature Weird Al Yankovich, and today, he only makes a cameo on a song by the incredible Nerf Herder.

This song is a great geek anthem, and is very very relatable!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 13th December – Now Is The Time – The Doubleclicks

I am sorry I was ill for a few days and as such didn’t get the advert sorted out, so you are gonna get three over the next 24 hours, starting with a frequent flier here, The Doubleclicks with Now Is The Time.

Its a great and rather inspiring song, and I think it kind of really encourages you.


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 12th December – Still Alive – Jonathan Coulton

This is a great song from Portal 2, now here is an awful confession, I haven’t played either Portal Game, but I did buy them in the 2021 Christmas Steam Sale and intend to play them soon.

But I have both soundtracks and love them, especially JoCo’s musicial contributions!

Anyway, this is JoCos version of the song with Sara Quin from his album Artificial Heart.


Nerdy Musical Advent 2022 – 11th December – The Girl Who Waited – PDX Broadsides

This lovely little ditty by the PDX Broadsides has some nice Doctor Who influences, but never struck me as being about Doctor Who.

But it’s always seemed to be to be a song about, knowing your own worth, but let me know what you think!


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!
