Romance is in the air! And that can mean only one thing; our HEPA filter needs to be changed.

Oh wait…

Valentine’s Day! Yeah, that totally explains it!

Cuddle up with that special someone and check out this ultra-romantical edition of GeekDad HipTrax featuring:

“To Have and to Hold” by temp sound solutions

Shawn Phase (AKA: temp sound solutions) is a titan in the chiptune, VGM and demoscene communities. He also has the most classic Konami logo tattoos of any single individual in recorded history. Check out the re-release of his amazing Xylox LP for free compliments of our friends at Pause Records.

“Romantic Cheapskate 2.0” by MC Frontalot

Since you obviously already own this track from Front’s 2007 release Secrets From the Future, why not head over to the SPIN Magazine site to pick up the first single from his forthcoming Zero Day album. It’s a song about Wil Wheaton, and that is the very definition of nerdcore.

“With You” by I Fight Dragons

Please join us in congratulating I Fight Dragons, as the band has just been signed to Photo Finish/Atlantic Records! I’m not sure how major label support will affect our ability to play their future releases, but hope springs eternal.
