Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 7th December – Best Game Ever – Mikey Mason

This song by nerdy comedian Mikey Mason, really reminds me of the great DnD games I used to play as a kid with my old group, until we went our separate ways for university. But yeah this is such a relevant song, and makes me see the days when I was a Bard attempting to slay a dragon with a lute and a few poems!

Its a great song, and I absolutely love how it makes me feel, my polycule wants to start an RPG session soon, and they are looking at me to GM, so that is something I need to do in the new year!

Anyway, what do you guys think of the song, I really like it and if you had a childhood like mine, I think you will too!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 6th December – The Middle – The Doubleclicks

Regular readers will know how much I love The Doubleclick, and well its no surprise I am featuring them in this years advent!

I also rather love that rock music of the late 90s/early 00s that I grew up with, so when The Doubleclicks covered it, well its been a staple of my playlists for a long time.

And the video for it is so very cute and delightful


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 5th December – Love is Basic – The PDX Broadsides

How about a nice little ditty by the PDX Broadsides, a wonderful nerd trio from Portland, surprisingly!

They make some great pop folk music about geek stuff and topics they love, like science and superheroes.

They are an eclectic bunch and that really comes across in their music!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 4th December – Dead Boy’s Girlfriend – Hank Green

Two days in a row with something that has problematic stuff, not the song, not the artist, but what’s its based on.

I love Harry Potter, but I detest the author and frankly there are a ton of problematic issues with the books themselves from the anti-Semitism of the goblin bankers to the dreadful way characters from ethnic minorities are portrayed.

But this song is good, Hank Green is a fantastic podcaster, musician and science communicator with a passion for science that benefits the environment, his stuff is really well worth checking out, as he is an amazingly passionate creator.

But I have to make this point, trans rights are human rights, and JK Rowling is the queen of TERFs and the Harry Potter fanbase deserves better than her.

Instead of buying official Harry Potter merchandise, donate to Trans charities, buy knock offs or read some amazing fan fiction instead.


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 3rd December – It’s Good to Have Jayne on Your Side – Marian Call

Jayne, the man they call Jayne!

Most of us nerds are huge Firefly fans, and Jayne is absolutely a fan favourite, not so much the actor, he turned out to be an utter prick, as did the shows creator, but sigh, we still love the show for the rest of the cast.

Marian Call is a fantastic artist based in Juneau, Alaska (which prompts me to consider another song to add to this list, but that might slip into next year), and I love her music, its quirky, geeky and very cool.

And this song is about Jayne the cunning man of the Verse!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 2nd December – Aquamans Lament – Mark Aaron James

Oh Aquaman, he really is the last hero most people think of when it comes to the Justice League, despite the Jason Momoa movie!

This song is a lovely little ditty from Mark Aaron James, a nerdy rock performer from out of New York who makes some amazing and introspective nerd rock songs.

And yeah its a lot of fun cause its Aquaman wondering why isn’t loved as much as Batman!


Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 1st December – Erection Tango – Eastend Cabaret

A risqué one to start us off this year, so much so in fact you can’t even have this song on YouTube cause its too rude!

Eastend Cabaret are a London based duo, and this song just makes me chuckle so much. Its on their 2015 album Perverts.

Look you really need to listen to this song, its just laugh out loud, just not when the bairns are around!!!

Musical Advent 2020 – December 24th – The Captain’s Wife’s Lament – Paul and Storm

Paul and Storm are huge favourites amongst the nerd community and this is a very very funny song, and perhaps a little NSFW.

I wasn’t sure how to end this particular advent series, I wanted to end with something funny and Megan’s reaction to this showed me that I had it right!



Musical Advent 2020 – December 22nd – Deadpool Christmas Rap – GameboyJones

Deadpool is a firm favourite superhero of pretty much every nerd, even though he hasn’t really been in the Marvel universe for very long at all.

And the Deadpool film staring Ryan Reynolds really brought the character into public focus, and frankly, who else could be Deadpool other than Mr Reynolds.

Also next year his model is coming out for Crisis Protocol and he looks AMAZING!!!



Musical Advent 2020 – December 21st – Why Does the Sun Really Shine? (The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma) – They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants are a great example of a mainstream nerdy band, and this song is a follow-up of one of their earlier tracks for their kids album Here Comes Science.

Its only a short one, but very good at the same time, and like all the tracks on that album, is an educational song.
