  • GeekDad HipTrax #100

    Ken and I really struggled to find a way to celebrate the 100th episode of GeekDad HipTrax without simply rehashing a bunch of stuff we’ve already featured. After some careful deliberation we submit for the approval of our longsuffering listening community the following collection which we have dubbed “The HipTrax Definitive 10.”

    It’s 10 songs from 10 distinct artists that truly encapsulate what the geeky music meta-community is all about, and it includes old and new tracks like:

    “It is Pitch Dark” by MC Frontalot


    A classic cut from the Godfather of Nerdcore originally included in our 10th episode.

    “Paperman” by Adam WarRock


    A brand new song from the new face of pop culture-obsessed hip-hop.

    “Take it from Me” by Kirby Krackle


    This Mega Man tribute comes from the Seattle geek rockers’ phenomenal E for Everyone.

    “Light Up the Night” by The Protomen


    Another Mega Man cut that’s also a classic throwback; this piece from the all-original VGM rock opera outfit is surely one of its finest.

    “Out on the Floor” by Pixelh8


    Danceable electro collides with the artist’s traditional upbeat chiptunes on this And the Revolution standout.

    “The Earl of Funk” by The OneUps


    The funk fusion game rockers really come through on this song from their latest release.

    “Ping Pong Song” by Optimus Rhyme


    A sentimental favorite from the long-gone champions of nerdcore.

    “Skymall” by Jonathan Coulton


    JoCo was quite literally the starting point of this project, so we pause to reflect on his amazing creative output and the sheer breadth of his career.

    “Clever Girl” by The Doubleclicks


    Elements of filk and geek rock blissfully coexist in this Doubleclicks selection also sometimes known as “Hollywood Raptor.”

    “Save Ginny Weasley” by Harry and the Potters


    We close with what is easily the most important track in Wizard Rock.
