GeekDad HipTrax #44

Sometimes nerd life gets to be too much. In those cases, you just need to sit back. Relax. Unwind. Lucky for you, Hiptrax is here to help! Kick back and enjoy the smooth sounds of: "Coder Girl" by Dale Chase If you dig a super-tight flow, soulful hooks and intelligent, techy rhymes, Dale's Absodefilutely EP is a must-have. New fans also owe it to themselves to check out his "Coder Girl 2.0 (Remix)" and his musical meditation on longtime friend of GeekDad Snipeyhead. "My Monkey" by Jonathan Coulton The narrator of this Coulton classic made a mistake. He and his lady-love had a fight, and maybe he said some things he really didn't mean. I can't imagine blaming his monkey butler is going to help matters, but, y'know, live and learn. "Dock of the Bay" as covered by The Skamatix Like HipTrax favorite Marian Call, The Skamatix aren't superficially geeky, but trust me; it's in there. Their own Nate Trier, for example, also crafts atmospheric instrumentals for use in tabletop roleplaying games under the clever guise of Mindscape Music.
