Nerdcore Rising - the Trailer



"Nerdcore" is a pretty self-explanatory name for a new-ish type of hip-hop that combines beats with social awkwardness. From the site:

Hilariously entertaining, NERDCORE RISING introduces a new wave of hip-hop to the world called “Nerdcore” where computer obsessed geeks bust rhymes about the hard knock life of nerdom. The gut-busting comedy follows MC Frontalot the “Godfather of Nerdcore” on his first national tour where the roots of the genre, the dorky complexities of its artists, and one MC’s fight for nerd stardom is revealed.

The ThinkGeek Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt



When I was a kid, one of the things I dreamed about most was having my own personal soundtrack. I know a lot of kids from the 80s thought the same thing...because we talked about it constantly. We even talked about what songs would be on there (thank God it never came true back then. There's only so many times you can hear Joe Public's "Live and Learn" before wanting to straight up end your life).

That dream came close to coming true with the advent of the CD Walkman and iPod, but it's still inorganic, because you have to wear headphones, and we know that's total garbage. Until now. ThinkGeek has made real that nerdy promise, with the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt!



The Personal Soundtrack Shirt is an amazing new wearable audio solution that features a working speaker embedded into the front of the shirt. When you push the appropriate button on the pocketable remote you get music or sound effects appropriate for any situation... everything from drum roll, to cat call whistle, to western showdown. Check out the chart below to see the extensive list of built in sounds and suggestions on using them for dramatic punctuation in your everyday life.


It comes with a staple of songs and sounds, and if you don't like those, you can upload songs to an SD Memory and plug it into the shirt. Now if they could only make my other 80s dream come true (think Weird Science). Just Kidding, LP.
