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 23rd – An Awful Lot of Running – Chameleon Circuit

By

This is a choice by Megan, and its a bit of Timelord Rock by a band made up of Dr Who Youtubers, Chameleon Circuit.

Its kinda about the one thing that all of the Doctors companions need to do a lot of, running, and they really do an awful lot of running.

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.

Musical Advent 2020 – December 20th – Tower of Souls – A Sound of Thunder

By

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!

Musical Advent 2020 – December 19th – The Gumbo Song – The Cog Is Dead

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.
