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.

    Spring Music Podcast 2008

    You may not believe it, and when I heard it I scarcely believed it myself, but there's more to being a geek than just video games. What! Crazy! I know! The thirst for new stimulation isn't limited to just the digital realm of "veedoo games"! Music is what we crave, and the newest Weekly Geek Music Podcast is just the thing to satiate even the most ravenous of melody fiends. Mike and Chris present to you their top albums for this period in the space-time continuum, with artists like Portishead, Wolf Parade, Death Cab For Cutie and Nine Inch Nails. Perhaps, in listening, you will discover your new favorite band. These things are known to happen.

    I defiantly agree about the psychedelic comments about the new Portishead. I think I'd call this album sort of... "psychedelic noir."

    Sorry, this was probably one of the most painfull listening experiences I've had in a while. Lackluster and dull to say the least and this is from someone with a very wide range of musical tastes.
