Sometimes you need a good concept album to really fire those neurons, and this song is from Tales from the Deadside a concept album from A Sound of Thunder.

Its based on the comic book series Shadowman by Valiant Comics, which is very cool and really ought to be read at some point in every nerds life.

This is an excellent track and honestly the vocals can shatter the whole world!

We of course had to bring in some steampunk to this list if only to keep Paul happy.

So we will take a pretty iconic song from The Cog is Dead, featuring Professor Elemental who are pretty much the superstars of steampunk music.

OK this is one that might be stretching the definition of geek music, considering its a chart topping grime artist.

I was first exposed to this guy when Nandos did a live cooking show with him, and I discovered that he is actually a massive video game fan, and this particular track is pretty good, so yeah I decided to include this here.

Musical Advent 2020 – December 17th – Toss a Coin (To Your Witcher) – Mega Ran

Come on we all love Mega Ran, he is one of those nerdcore rappers so talented that pretty much everything he touches turns to gold.

And Toss a Coin (To Your Witcher) is no exception as he takes this pop culture phenomenon from earlier this year and turns it into a rap song that is just so so good!

A Kirby Krackle is the use of black around a subject to indicate an unknown form of energy, as popularised by the great comic book artist Jack Kirby.

Its also the stage name of an amazing geek music superstar, who has written some amazing songs touching on geek culture, video games, comics and stuff.

This is a really good song, that in the words of Megan, escalates pretty quickly!

Musical Advent 2020 – December 15th – Pizza and Ice Cream – Meri Amber

Meri Amber is this wonderful goofball of a singer from down under who does an amazing job a of creating nerdy pop songs that are just so catchy!

We had a couple of her tracks in last years advent calender, and I really recommend picking up Origin Story as it contains a bunch of amazing songs that are really hard to not sing along to.

This particular song is so very much very me, I mean my bikini body is literally made of candy!

Musical Advent 2020 – December 14th – The Quick and The Blue – The Megas

Megaman is a videogame franchise which is rather beloved and has been going for over 30 years now.

Back in 2013 Capcom commissioned an album to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise, MM25: Mega Man Rocks, and The Megas contributed their song The Quick and The Blue from their Get Equipped album.

This song is about the fight between Quickman and Mega Man from Mega Man 2 and its a really good song, especially the version they rerecorded for MM25.

Musical Advent 2020 – December 13th – I Wanna Make Out with You at Cons – Misbehavin’ Maidens

OK, this one is quite a but not safe for work, its a lovely little filk shanty by the Misbehavin’ Maidens, and I warn you not to listen to their stuff with kids around!

They are a very very sex positive band who sing about femenism, drinking, sex and geek culture, I am a big fan because they are funny as hell. And sometimes you need some filthy filk in your life!

Musical Advent 2020 – December 12th – Spaceman – The Killers

Whilst last year I did mostly avoid the bigger bands, but this year I thought why not bring some of those in, and The Killers are pretty big.

Ok a song called Spaceman is pretty obvious to be called a nerdy song, but its got proper cred, was featured on Rock Band, on Fringe, and Planet 51, plus the video is pretty cool.

Musical Advent 2020 – December 11th – Dare To Be Stupid – The Cybertronic Spree

Dare to be Stupid is a parody of Devo songs written by Weird Al Yankovich, a pardoy performer who has been around a very long time.

I have tried to avoid including him in this advent because he is pretty cliché and I like some of his stuff, but I am not a huge fan.

But I love this version by the band Cybertronic Spree, so much so that I backed their Kickstarter and go to the studio and recorded professionally the soundtrack to The Transformers movie from 1986, which is still one of the best soundtracks ever written.
