Sry all/A history of geeky music

2006-05-09T01:46:00.000-06:00

Okay I havn't posted in a while... But I have some REAL treats for you all. I now present A HISTORY OF GEEKY MUSIC!

Geeky music can in some ways trace it's roots all the way back to Buddy Holly.

While not overtly geeky, the thick glasses trademarked by Buddy Holly would become a staple of geekdom for generations. He unknowingly inspired the entire geeky "look".

Years later Devo came out.

Devo as well wasn't overtly geeky in the modern sense. But the vaugely electronica sound as well as the odd little costumes and dances they do forever classified them as "Geek rock"

Following in Devo's footsteps came Wierd Al

Although a parodyist technically, Al's comic stylings continue to inspire this generation of geeky artists. Note that the video above is a parody of Devo.

In the mid-90's Nerf Herder formed.

With their star-wars inspired name and instant musical recognisibility, Nerf Herder became immensely popular... in geek music circles... and mostly only in the california area... Though they have done music for many commercial projects, most noticibly the buffy the vampire slayer theme.

Around the same time as nerf herder, Warp 11 came into existance.

Warp 11 was originally an experiment to get people to associate star trek and sex in the same sentence... and to an extent it worked. The star treks that came out after their slight rise to fame became increasingly raunchy, and their feature in the documentery "Trekkies" did help stave off the myth that 'trek fans are just people who stay in their parents' basements and can't get a date... but then again their fame is only in small packages.

About that time as well, a sweedish band called S.P.O.C.K. formed.

S.P.O.C.K. is actually a ligitimate techno band, and their star trek ties are fairly superficial in most of their music, but they are obcvious in their proformance.

In 2001 Damien Hess AKA MC Frontalot invented Nerdcore HipHop by coining the phrase.

Frontalot took the 'net by storm by distributing his music online for free. It snowballed quickly into his own album last year and a full US tour this year all funded out of his own pocket.

The most popular nerdcore artist is probably mc chris

Chris Ward was once a comedian. But he started rapping around 2002. He did several raps for cartoon network original shows including "Aqua teen hunger force" and "Sealab 2020". He celibrates both gangsta' and geeksta' roots in his music.

In contrast to mc chris, MC Lars takes a more pop-music route.

MC Lars has been making a few waves in mainstream music lately. He is the self-proclaimed "Hero of the iGeneration" a phrase he himself coined. This iGeneration which grew up on ninja turtles and nintendo, now rule over the internet, and will have to deal with social security issues we're sewing today, seem to really flock to his music which is really the point of his music.

And now to tie this all together, Here's Weezer.

I don't know much about Weezer except that they're considered geek rock... and they did a song about buddy holly... and that I just posted that... so.... yeah...

Good old ifilm

Insomnia=Ranting about nothing.

2006-04-14T01:51:00.000-06:00

Okay, so what to rant about today... Ah I know!

So Nobody gives Wierd Al or his band any credit. He's a very talented person not only as a comedian but as a musician and a video director. Do you know how hard it is to get 2 videos to match up and be exactly the same? Here's the original video:

And here's the Wierd Al version, note the EXACT same cutting-art state of the edge technology (for the mid-80's anyways) and the DAMN SIMILAR music.

Oh and while I'm at it.

2006-04-13T02:36:00.000-06:00

While I'm in a digital music mood, Here's MC Lars.

Now you're cooking.

2006-04-11T11:31:00.000-06:00

Geekiest panites ever!

2006-04-07T16:28:00.001-06:00

Okay, in an attempt to test my new readers, I'm going to post something that most people I know know I have, (BTW I'm wearing them right now).

Now then, who hasn't been scared off?

EDIT: This isn't me, it's a model for them ripped from www.thinkgeek.com which is where I got them

Heya MC Frontalot fans.

2006-04-06T00:33:00.000-06:00

Well if you're here you're probably from the MC Frontalot forums.

Yeah I know, not very nerdcore... but I mean take a look around. And LEAVE A FREAKING COMMENT PEOPLE! That's all I ask.

Like, don't all give me sympathy at once.

2006-04-05T13:25:00.000-06:00

Well I mentioned I'm depressed... and nobody has asked me why. Either nobody reads this, or nobody cares. So I'm going to Badger all of you untill you say something.

ANGST!

2006-04-04T21:53:00.000-06:00

Hey there, I've been depressed recently, which is why my recent posts have had less substance... I'm not suicidal or anything, but the only thing stopping me from going out and forming an Emo band is this song:

ANd now, a video game preview

2006-04-03T16:39:00.000-06:00

Will Wright (the guy who made all the sim games) is working now on a game called Spore. It is going to be AWESOME! Everybody buy it when it comes out!

Oh, and get Star Trek Online too.

So...

2006-04-03T16:30:00.000-06:00

So I took the quiz on what kind of fae are you and apperently I'm a changeling.

I took their other quiz while I was at it... and here's the result

2006-04-01T15:12:00.000-07:00

Here I am, depressed and lonely. And I can't bear to find the one thing that could solve my problems untill I look the way I want to. Am I that vain? Am I that different? Is my gender really my choice to make?

War is over (if you want it)

2006-03-15T00:45:00.000-07:00

What is with us in this country? We were founded as a prtest to the imperialist regimes in Europe and now we're the only Empire left.

We invade a country for oil and give falsified information about "weapons of mass destruction" based on the fact that we sold them 20-30 years ago and told Saddam to disarm multiple times and he wouldn't let inspectors in.

GUESS WHAT? HE PROBABLY DISARMED DURING THE CLINTON ERA!

Meanwhile we PURPOSEFULLY let Bin Laden get away to keep him as a spector that Bush can use to keep us in a state of fear. I bet that there'll be at least one terrorist attack between now and november.

Trial By Fire: Holocaust History Project Won't Be Silenced

In the early hours of March 6, 2006, a fire broke out at a warehouse complex near San Antonio International Airport, causing extensive damage to the offices of The Holocaust History Project (THHP), an organization that has been, for the last ten years, in the forefront of confronting Holocaust denial online, in addition to providing educational materials to students throughout the world. Arson investigators now have confirmed that the fire was intentionally set and are continuing their investigation.

It was just the latest in a series of attacks with the apparent intent to silence THHP. For the past 18 months, the THHP website has been under an unprecedented Distributed Denial of Service attack. This cyber attack began on September 11, 2004, and is being carried out by a specially modified version of the MyDoom computer worm, programmed to target the THHP web server. (see the THHP statement: http://holocaust-history.org/denial/denial-of-service.shtml)

Harry Mazal, the Director of THHP said, "We have been able to defend our work against these cyber attackers. They tried, but couldn't shut us down. We have strong indications that this arson is the next step in a series of attacks against our educational and scholarly work. Although the fire caused significant damage to our offices, there is no way we will be silenced. Our web site has not been affected, and our work will continue."

While an arson attack such as this cannot be specifically anticipated, THHP has long ago taken steps to minimize the impact of any attacks, physical or virtual. Several mirror sites ensure that even as serious an attack as occurred Monday morning will be unsuccessful in forcing THHP to go offline.

Background:

THHP (http://holocaust-history.org) is one of the largest repositories of information relating to the Holocaust on the Web. For the last ten years, an international staff of volunteers has worked tirelessly to make information on the Holocaust, and on those who would deny it, easily accessible to students, scholars, and anyone who has an interest in the truth.

Among the material on the site are essays about various events and people, scientific and legal analyses, original Nazi documents, expert witness testimony, transcripts of many of the Nuremberg trials, and the complete texts of two seminal works, Jean-Claude Pressac's "Auschwitz" and Robert Jay Lifton's "The Nazi Doctors." In addition, THHP volunteers personally answer emails from thousands of students each year who are looking for information to further their studies.

The site registers more than 50 million hits a year. "Traffic to our site increases every year," said Mr. Mazal, "we intend to keep adding new content to the site. Right now we are preparing the Belsen trial transcripts, and the transcript of Adolf Eichmann's trial in Israel."

What must I do?

I must change for my own sake. To be what I always was in my heart, not what the physical says I am
I must find myself. Man or woman I must be me, not what I am told I am
I must forge ahead. Make my own path, not be hindered by sociaty's whims.

So there's this jerk. He sees my avitar. He asks me "Umm are you a boy or a girl" and I tell him the truth... the whole truth... And then suddenly he spouts homophobic propaganda about "The purpose of humanity is to reproduce"... what kind of self-rightious jerk does he think he is? This is MY life, this is MY world and I'll live it the way I want to. Not how some jerksicle wants me to. I put up with this for a while fighting back calmly... untill he said that he tells autistic people to their faces to "grow the fuck up" I let him have it. I told his CO (we met in a star trek RP) about it, transfered out of the fleet, and am in the process of re-starting my character there.
