Yo. I see you’ve come by once again for Awesome Sauce Music Friday. We’re glad to see you. It seems we are on a bit of a Tesla roll lately. Last week was an ode to Tesla by They Might Be Giants. This week it’s the latest installment of the Epic Rap Battle series: Edison v. Tesla. After years of obscurity, it’s nice to see Nikola Tesla get his due. And he even holds his own ... »
Welcome, welcome, welcome! I hoe you’re ready to jam because there is not way you’re stopping this train. This week we’re featuring a familiar band: They Might Be Giants. They show up on Teen Skepchick quite often, but come on. Who isn’t a fan of TMBG? People with bad taste, that’s who. They’re new album, Nanobots, just dropped on Tuesday. I haven’t listen... »
Hello hello hello! Are you ready for another Awesome Sauce Music Friday? Yeah, I know you are. But I have to ask. You know. For legal reasons. I’ve seen this week’s song pop up on my Tumblr dash a few times as a gif set, but it never occurred to me that it might be a song by the wonderful Hank Green of Vlogbrothers fame. But this week those neurons made that connection to my utter deli... »
Hello, my precious! Welcome to another edition of Awesome Sauce Music Friday! This week we finally got around to reviewing Les Mis (which yours truly loves, by the way, even with Russell Crowe), so it was serendipitous that this week an adorable video was published on YouTube this week of Gollum singing “I Dreamed a Dream.” Well, it’s YouTube user ljameswalters as Gollum, but the... »
Hey-oh! It’s time for another edition of Awesome Sauce Music Friday! Please put on your dancing shoes, feel the groove, and let the music take you away. In honor of Darwin Day, I thought it might be a good idea to see what kinds of evolution songs are out there on the Interwebz. Luckily, I found this smooth and pretty ode to Darwin’s revolutionary theory. I believe it’s written a... »
Chris Hadfield is a Canadian astronaut that is currently up in the space station. If you watch Canadian news he has been doing a lot of interviews from the space station. Most recently he has recorded a song with Canadian band The Barenaked Ladies (if you watch Big Bang Theory – they did the theme song). The song, Is Somebody Singing, is very lovely and brought tears to my eyes…and is ... »
It’s Friday! Finally! Time to jam. This week we’re hearing from Ken Lawrence, aka MC Hawking. He’s a nerd core artist who purports to be Stephen Hawking, thus the moniker. Our featured song is basically a combination anti-woo peddler rant and ode to science and skeptical thinking. It’s “What We Need More of is Science” off MC Hawking’s 2004 album A Brief H... »
Happy Friday, nerds! What’s shakin’? Are you ready for another Awesome Sauce Music Friday? Well get ready, because you can’t stop this train. This week’s featured tune is pretty much the medley I didn’t know I wanted. Sagar Jethani performs a mash up of the themes for Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. Surprisingly, the songs go pretty well together. Plus, there’... »
