And sadly, I think you've found all the same tracks as me! I got an early preview of S&F, but other than that I think our K.Flay collections are identical. :)Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14955198622421067159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-80251361544792960272009-08-16T20:39:14.726-04:002009-08-16T20:39:14.726-04:00About K.Flay:

Although she isn't directly a part of the sub-genre, she has plenty of nerdy lyrics. She may be wise to not define herself that way, but I still feel like she belongs somehow (like MC Lars).<br /><br />Out of excitement for the upcoming release of the Single & Famous EP, I have been searching for more of K.Flay's back catalog. You mentioned playing a lot of her work around the house, so I am wondering if you can help me find more of her music. I have tracks from comps, guest spots, and from iTunes U (Stanford Soundtrack). Also, I picked up 3 tracks from your link. I wish this full album were more affordable: http://amzn.com/B001TP290E.

Personally, I always thought the sound of Hella rapping Keith's disjointed (but certainly overly aggressive) lyrics softened the thematic blow, but I understand how that too could simply add insult upon injury. Either way, thanks for sharing your thoughts. <br /><br />Glad you dug it, Hex.<br /><br />I appreciate it, Kitten. I seldom consider this show informative, but it's good to know you got some added value. :)<br /><br />Honestly, my anonymous friend, I feel that the biggest failure of this project is that I haven't been able to assemble an all-nerd LGBT-friendly episode. With the notable exceptions you mentioned (and a handful of others), there seems to be a glaring lack of music that adequately broaches the subject. Still, I've long wanted to tackle the issue, so if anyone has other song suggestions please share them!Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14955198622421067159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-26551708294322383562009-05-24T15:48:57.975-04:002009-05-24T15:48:57.975-04:00I salute your attack on the sexism which has perme...I salute your attack on the sexism which has permeated this and most cultures. I do think that you ought to tackle the issue of homophobia which has come up in these comments. You have already done prejudice against 'nerds' from 'geeks', and prejudice against women this week. Make it a trio? Legends of the nerdy music scene Jesse Dangerously and MC Frontalot have tackled the issue, why not put yourself on that list?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-83401467833376709892009-05-23T15:46:36.946-04:002009-05-23T15:46:36.946-04:00I've only listened to the first half but I was blo...I've only listened to the first half but I was blown away by the diversity and excellence of the tracks on this.
