Grokin' Around The X-Mas Tree 2008: A Holiday Music Mix

Grokin' Around The X-Mas Tree 2008: A Holiday Music Mix

Dec 15

We went through a couple different ideas on how to celebrate the holidays here at the Alert Nerd/Grok compound, and we have QUITE the amazing holiday present for you fine folks coming later this week.

Until then, here’s a little something to get your holiday parties ROCKING OUT: Our first annual holiday mix CD/playlist! Download it today and watch the faces of children, the elderly, and vagrants light up as you crank bitchin’ holiday tunes with a geeky bent out your car window.

I take full blame for the included insert, which sucks desperately.

As for the track list…well, you gotta download to find out! But it’s decent. Most of it’s good stuff, with a bit of novelty sprinkled in–that’s how I like my holiday mixes, and also, my men.

Ho ho ho!

You read that headline, and you think, “Sweet Jesus living in heaven high above, is there really such a thing? Could such awesome coolness audacity really exist in the corporeal world? To quote Illinois representative Mel Reynolds, ‘Did I win the Lotto?'”

It exists. It is here. It is wondrous.

Here’s the truth: There’s no way this issue could have been anything BUT slightly disappointing.

Happy thanksgiving, all you nerds and nerdettes.

I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, for my fellow Alert Nerd bloggers (also great friends), for this lil’ nerdy community I’m fortunate to share in virtually via Twitter and comments and e-mails, for a decent job, for occasional freelance, for plentiful comic books, for NIMOY, and for Giada De Laurentiis, who better not be leading me foul with her Herbes de Provence and Citrus turkey recipe, or I will lose my shit.

So remember that one time, that one time before, when they did that trailer for that one movie, that Star Trek movie, that new one with all the hip kids in it like Abercombie opened an outlet store on Seti Alpha VI?

Well, it’s back. And this time, it’s got the one thing I needed to make it perfect…Nimoy.
