GeekDad HipTrax #77

It's been a long time, HipTrax audience. Too long! I have missed you, as has Ken. Much has changed since we've been gone... Okay, in actuality very little has changed, but I really felt like that added some nice weight to this missive. And now I'm just babbling. Instead, musics: "Man It's So Loud in Here" as covered by Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire Shael and the boys come through with yet another inspired cover tune from a brand new tribute album. Mink Car Cover features an interesting take on They Might Be Giants' 2001 source material from 19 uniquely geeky acts. The digital release and its limited edition physical pressing are both available now, and your purchase benefits the FDNY Foundation. "Must See MC" by Adam WarRock Nerd rapper extraordinaire Adam WarRock is currently on an epic fall tour backing up mc chris, MC Lars and Mega Ran. He prepped for the festivities by releasing a free single every week in August. The first of these was called Study Hall (with "Must See MC" serving as the equally amazing b-side). "Pony Swag (feat. Maros) [Scootaloo-Safe Radio Edit]" by Swagberg I typically only grasp the true weight of a property's fandom when it filters down to me in musical form. This is how I became aware of the growing legion of bronies, adult male fans of the Hub's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. There are many musical tributes to the show, but none so enjoyable as this cut from Swagberg and Maros. This kid-friendly edit as well as its original, uncensored version and several other takes are all freely available for your listening pleasure.
