Geek Mixtape

Well, look at that… Friday the 13th and nothing bad happened during the show. I honestly was hoping McEwen Hall would explode… That would be awesome. *sigh* Anyway, this week we have more new Nine Inch Nails. Uh.. yeah, not much else I guess. Also don’t forget about Rockin The Commons, this coming weekend (4/21) featuring a bunch of live music and all-around good times… That is, if it doesn’t snow… which it most likely will. Oh, Fredonia… How I both love and loathe you. ~Req

Finally, we have some new and exciting music this week. First we premiered some local music by Kyle Corcoran, aka Blue Chain Language. He will be performing in Fredonia on May 11th during the 3rd annual Transmedia Art Festival, a wonderful event which you should attend if possible. Check out his website in the meantime. Next up, the new Nine Inch Nails concept album, Year Zero leaked onto the net this week. This of course means that I’ve wasted no time in getting it on the Mixtape. For those of you interested in the really creepy and excellently developed backstory to this album, this link should provide you with the answers you seek. I’ll be back next week with more of those leaked tracks. Man, that giant hand is creepy as fuck…

So, as you will hear on the podcast, losing my iPod this week made me come to the realization that I am impoverished. Here’s my plan - I make a paypal donation button on my website and then you, being the good-natured and supportive listeners you are, donate to said paypal. Pathetic? Yes. Fruitless? Maybe. Only time will tell… Until next week learn from my example and never lose your iPod.

Even though I had been dining in hell prior to this show, I still made it back to the station in time to host yet another edition of the nerdiest hour of electronic music on the radio. Not much else going on this week. Make sure you get out and see 300. If you don’t, I can’t promise that you wont be impaled by Spartan spears in your sleep. Spring Break is fast approaching and that means that so is an excellent convention in Stonybrook, Long Island known as I-Con which I will be attending. However this also means that there will be no show for the next two weeks. Stay tuned to this blog for lots of pictures from the con in a couple weeks. Until then, may your dice roll high and your headshots be plentiful.

Midterms ahoy! This wonderful time of the year has caused me to be quite tardy when it comes to putting up these podcasts, so deal with it! I’m also just getting over a miserable, life-consuming illness. I’m just one among the hundreds of sick Fredonians. Yep, it’s definitely that time of year. Feel better, everyone.

Until next week, be careful out there…. because the floor is lava!

Due to limitations on server space, I’m going to host podcasts two at a time. That means that, at any given time, the only podcasts that will be available are the current week and the week before. If you’d like to provide webspace, by all means EMAIL ME! I will be going on temporary hiatus for the next two weeks! In place of the show, there will be much celebration at the arrival of my 21st anniversery of existence, as well as the release of the Wii, which I will no doubt devote considerable time to over this well-needed break. I will be back in 3 weeks with an Ultra-Special Next-Gen Console Edition of Geek Mixtape, so stay tuned!
