Reply To: How do you find new bands (specifically nerdy ones)?
I get all my geeky music recommendations from friends and associates. I don’t go looking for music (geeky or otherwise), I just listen to the stuff other people talk about and end up loving it. I am just lucky, I guess, that my friends have such good taste. 🙂
Coulton was probably my introduction to nerd music. Several years ago my then-boyfriend sang Code Monkey to me and I was all “whaaa?! That is adorable!” I think it’s kind of interesting that I am in no way a code monkey, so the song appealed to me solely on the sweet story level.
Coulton’s music, and geeky/comedic music in general do something that I really like, which is tell a story. Stories are my most favouritest thing in the world, and I greatly prefer music that follows a story format (as opposed to music that maybe conveys an emotion, or other types of music), which I think is why I am so much more interested in lyrics than I am in melodies.
