Winter Playlist: Get Your Nerd On
Ugh. I hate snow so much and we seem to be getting a lot of it here in Toronto. But it’s also a good excuse to stay in our warm homes and amuse ourselves some way. I have a few friends who, when they aren’t being entertained by youtube, lolcats or porn, get together in a warm living room and play some Dungeons and Dragons or have a Star Trek marathon. …or a Star Wars marathon, or Battlestar Galactica, or Lord Of The Rings…or sometimes they even have a LAN party. My friends take their nerd status SERIOUSLY and I love them for it.
And so the point of this entry, my little moppets, is to give you a small taste of the nerdiness in this world. Songs that reach down in to your soul and touch that part of you that had kept your secret love for Captain Picard or Princess Leia hidden for so long. Oh, yes. This music is for the nerd inside you.
(P.S. 10 points if you knew that the Klingon in the center was Christopher Lloyd and 90 points if you knew that his character was named Commander Kruge and that the picture was from Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.)
Voltaire (web site)
Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the goth music scene knows who Voltaire is. handsome, sarcastic and talented, he sings songs that make us both chuckle and lament. Despite being a gothic poster boy he is also a self-proclaimed trekkie.

Jonathan Coulton (web site)
When I finally got around to looking Jonathan Coulton up, I had realized that I had been listening to his music for a while. With infectious songs like Code Monkey and Re: Your Brains, Coulton has proven he knows just what the hell he’s doing.

My boyfriend introduced me to these guys. Nothing really much to say other than they really love Lord Of The Rings and hip hop. Ha.
