If that means anything it's that I appreciate bad food and cheap gas. And also that I tend to think of my countrymen first.
But that certainly doesn't mean that nerd music ain't coming strong from other parts of the globe. On the contrary, the rest of the world is just as geeky as us Yanks – which is what this particular show is all about.

Show Notes:
Intro: Baddd Spellah – "Radio Free Hipster Theme (feat. Beefy)"
Spellah is Canadian. Beefy is Whitesican. Peace and understanding through music, people!
Track 1: Wordburglar and Moose Donair – "Yo Canada"
I am totally gonna request moose the next time I hit the doner place on Highway 290!
Z's 1st interlude: "Jump across the Bering Strait to see what's going on in Russia."
I was gonna say "look across the Bering Strait," but Palin references are already dated.
Track 2: Teleidofusion – "Around Past"
Today's background music is also Russian in origin.
Track 3: DJ Moule – "Sonic Ice"
A French DJ mixing cheesy American radio rap, British jazz-pop and Swedish garage? This is like my thesis.
Track 4: L'homme Manete – "Candy Popper"
The name sounds French, but L'homme Manete is a Portuguese artist.
Track 5: The Ranger – "Stat Sheet (Massive DMG remix by Zen Albatross)"
One of many stand-outs from my own 20-Sided Rhymes comp.
Track 6: MegaDriver – "Axetales"
There ain't no video game metal quite like Brazilian video game metal.
Z's 2nd interlude: "A double dose of international delights."
I elected to start the 2nd set with a pair of sea-spanning duos.
Track 7: The Garthim-Master and DJ Extend – "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World"
Ghosts of Nostalgia is a pretty remarkable record. It is also free. So get on that shit!
Track 8: Coova and Bud Melvin – "Yourmachi"
From 2009's epic team-up She's the DJ, He's the Rapper.
Track 9: Hidari – "Abunai Tasting"
Russia, Canada and Japan each managed to get two artists into this episode.
Track 10: Comptroller – "Low Point"
Straight outta Scotland.
Track 11: Superpowerless – "Wonderwall Remix"
Probably my second favorite Superpowerless remix of all time.
Z's final interlude: "Nerd music and culture really is a global affair."
And thanks to the power of the internets, we can enjoy its many exotic flavors.
Track 12: Videogame Orchestra – "Electro, Music, Transform"
Greece's premiere electro-chip duo doing what they do best.
Once again, lemme say big-ups to Sam for the show idea. I sometimes focus on specific geographic areas for musical inspiration, but it was awful fun to instead look at the whole big ol' world.
Please keep your song requests and show ideas coming, folks. I always welcome them.
Speaking of, if you have any holiday-themed tracks you'd like me to put on the menu for next month (or better yet if you're an artist releasing a seasonal album or single), be sure to let me know.

Please tell me that the DJ Moule comment is a PCU reference. And if it isn't, please lie to me and tell me it is anyways.
But of course, Matt! Pigman is my co-pilot.
Nice to find Hidari has a new web site. I lost track of them when hidaridesu.com went away.
Glad I could bring y'all back together, Steve. ;)
Hey Z, nice one! good to hear some Japanese love on here. I'm curious, what led you to choose Hidari? I think something like Polysics would be a bit stronger on the Nerd Tip. Maybe they're too mainstream?
Actually Hidari and me go way back. Specifically because of their American member Justin Bacon, who's also a pal of my longtime homie Glenn Case.
