When I was but a wee geek, I was obsessed with everything Nintendo. So naturally I didn’t miss the Super Mario Bros. show with Captain Lou Albano. Occasionally besides showing a Mario cartoon, or awkward live action with Lou as a very Brooklyn (Flatbush) inspired Mario, they would also show a legend of Zelda cartoon.

In true Rob Gordon fashion, we have assembled a list of the top geek bands/musicians/recording artists out there. Do your favorites make the cut? Also featured is an interview with “Geek Love Songs” auteur Errol Elumir, as well as another edition of our “Would You Rather?” contest.
Just a quick update to let you all know — episode 26 is still being edited. We were minorly set back by the inclusion of our epic “HOLIDAYS FTW!!!1″ party this past weekend, but our next episode should be out no later than this week. Thanks for your patience, everyone!
This Thursday night we’ll be recording episode 26 of the NYGC — our list of the top 10 geekiest bands. We are currently compiling this list, so if you have suggestions for us, please leave a comment below! Thanks!
