With all the preparation inherent in readying myself for Nerdapalooza, I just don’t have the time to do everything I’d like. Sadly, Nerd News In Brief was one of the things I had to cut out.
I know, you are crushed. That’s understandable.
If it's any consolation, I promise to really wow you with next week’s edition. I will bring the pain. Hardcore from the brain.
In the meantime, here’s something to help take the edge off. It’s a super-early episode of the Radio Free Hipster podcast.
Who loves ya, baby?

Show Notes:
Intro: Baddd Spellah – “Radio Free Hipster Theme (feat. Beefy)”
The catchiest song ever? I think so!
Track 1: Married With Children dialog / EzLee – “Vain Mistake”
You can’t go wrong by mixing The Clash and MC Lyte.
Z’s 1st interlude: “Songs or parts of songs that are just so damn catchy they get stuck in your head.”
Like you guys don’t know what an earworm is or somethin’!
Track 2: Andrew WK – “McLaughlin Groove”
Thanks to Church for turning me on to this one.
Track 3: Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills – “Dumbledore Is Gay (And That’s OK)”
“He’s still the greatest freaking wizard of his day.”
Track 4: Gred and Forge – “A Little Less Incantation”
I sure hope y’all like this one, ‘cause I think it’s gonna be on the next episode of HipTrax as well!
Track 5: Jesse Dangerously – “So! Much! Fun! (Unh!)”
Expect both a review of Verba Volant and an interview with Jesse D himself sometime after I return from Orlando.
Track 6: YTCracker – “DugDig”
You may have heard this classic in G4’s latest commercials for X-Play.
Track 7: Married With Children dialog / Bill O’Reilly – “Bill O’Reilly Flips Out (Dance Remix)”
Who would’ve thought that a hate filled asshole could be susceptible to such profanity-laden outbursts?
Track 8: Harry and the Potters – “The Blood of a Prince”
The Brothers DeGeorge do hardcore, and do it well, I might add.
Track 9: Wordburglar – “Sayin’ Raps”
I am really excited about seeing Burg perform this weekend. The word “squee” comes to mind.
Track 10: Super Barrio Brothers – “System”
This was one of the tracks that was available for free from the SBB’s MySpace last month.
Z’s 2nd interlude: “The cousin of nerdcore producer and hip-hop aficionado DJ Snyder.”
Andrew WK is nerdy by association.
Track 11: Optimus Rhyme – “Reboot”
This podcast needs more Optimus. Its cowbell, however, is at an acceptable level.
Track 12: MC Frontalot – “Good Old Clyde”
That’s some old school Front right there!
Track 13: Alex Desert / Yo Gabba Gabba! – “Pick It Up”
We sing this one a lot in the Z. household.
Track 14: Sugar Fix – “Rule 34”
Download this song and share it with the one you love.
Track 15: No Kill I – “Wearin’ Red”
Poor redshirt never saw it coming.
Track 16: Metaforce – “In the Rain”
Rain City Blooze won’t be the newest Metaforce album for long. Their third full-length should be released shortly.
Track 17: Married With Children dialog / Lenlow – “Last Night”
I always wondered how I could get some Traveling Wilburys worked into this podcast!
Z’s final interlude: “A big pile of tracks I care nothing about.”
A good mash-up includes some bits from your favorite songs. A great mash-up is made entirely out of tracks you hate, but still manages to move you.
Track 18: DJ Earworm – “United State of Pop”
Bringing new meaning to the phrase “polish a turd.”
This episode felt like cheating.
You see, when Church suggested I do an ep. centered on earworms, I was instantly taken with the concept. It sounded like a solid enough idea, as it was something fairly relatable to all of us; I mean, who hasn’t gotten a song stuck in his head at one time or another? But the truth is, to me damn near every song in every edition of RFH is an earworm.
That’s sort of my selection criteria. If something stays with me, if I find myself repeating the lyrics or humming the melody, it goes in the show.
Sure, occasionally I’ll play a request or something that I’m not super familiar with, but those songs are a minority. But don’t let that stop you. I’d love to hear your song suggestions and show ideas. So please share 'em!

who loves me is the person who gives me multiple NNIBs a week! That's who.
:)
your NNIB goes AWOL just as i was eagerly awaiting a mention of my latest track..you probably didn't even know it dropped, did you? DID YOU? anyway, yeah, i got a new song and i hope you like it and it makes NNIB when that particular columny thing returns
I think that man may have died, Matt, but I do remember him vaguely.
A new Ranger track? Where might I find such a treasure?
Sorry the No Kill I stuff sounds so horrible. It's a tape to a tape then saved as a small mp3. If I had a master around, I'd do a better mp3.
Thanks for the link! We appreciate it!
