We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Your Personal Soundtrack - The Books: Smells Like Content

The Books is my coding music. The kind of music that just puts me in the mode to roll up my sleeves and dive headfirst into work. The Books are just two guys, one with a guitar and another with an electric cello. Mike and I saw them perform this song - Smells like Content - live last year, and the syncopated text playing behind the performers was mesmerizing.

As I listened to their albums over the years I had a distinct image in my mind of what these people from the sound clips looked like. Then, when I finally saw them perform live, they played the video from the sound clips, and for the most part they matched up. Very strange.
