Hello! It’s time for more awesome sauce music! You ready to go? Let’s do eeeeeet. This week’s song is from a band that I thought broke up in the 90s (they, in fact, broke up just last year): Chumbawamba. Over the years they tackled feminism, animal rights, and anti-fascism. But they are probably most famous for their 1997 hit “Tubthumping.” The song we’re featur... »
Yo, nerds. Take off that pocket protector. It’s time to jam. This week’s tune comes to us from across the pond. It’s by a band called British Sea Power and it’s about the Larsen Ice Shelf. Specifically, Larsen B. The Larsen Ice Shelf is an antarctic ice shelf consisting of three shelves along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Larsen A is the smallest of the three s... »
Is it too late for a “Gangnam Style” parody? Yeah…it’s way too late. I don’t even care. I have a bit of a soft spot for nerdy, cheesey, low-ish quality YouTube videos that teach science. I can’t help it. I mean, what better use of the Internet is there? I have no idea who the person who wrote and performed this particular “Gangnam Style” parody ̵... »
Good day to you! Are you ready for the weekend? Yeah, of course you are. Here’s a sweet tune to get you on your way! Did you know that you’ve always wanted to see a rap battle between Kirk Cameron and Charles Darwin impersonators? Trust me. You have. Who will come out on top? The creationist bananas or…science? Watch to find out. H/T: Pharyngula Want more music? Check out Lab Tra... »
I’m a little proud of us here at Teen Skepchick. And a little dismayed. We just let the season premier of Doctor Who go by unmentioned. But you know we’re squee-ing in our real lives. So I figured there was no point in denying it anymore. It’s time to get the Doctor all up in our blog space. This song and video is legitimately the best Doctor Who fan art I’ve ever seen. It&... »
Ooooooooh it’s been a long week, hasn’t it? But now it’s Friday, so it’s time to jam. Sometimes, when I’m looking for something to post in this slot every week, I just turn to YouTube and search for science songs. It’s a bit of a crap shoot, but every once in a while I turn up a gem. I think I found one of those gems this week. It’s a song by The Chromatic... »
Hello again! I’m so glad you came back for another edition of Awesome Sauce Music Friday! Are you ready for some sweet ukulele action? Good, because you’re going to get it. Have you heard of Garfunkel and Oates? They are a charming musical duo comprised of Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome. I recommend looking them up, even if some of their stuff is NSFW. This week’s tune comes from... »
Helloooooo! Is your day lacking awesome? Let me drizzle it with some awesome sauce. Have you ever had to memorize the Kreb’s Cycle? I think I have, although I remember none of it today. Maybe I would if I’d had this week’s song to jam to. According to io9, this is the result of what is obviously a bangin’ song contest at the University of Ottowa: “One of the awesome t... »
