My God. I think Frontalot just sold me one of his albums.

If nerdcore trips your trigger, check out Jonathan Coulton too, while not super techincal, he hits on Sci-fi topics (robots, genetic engineering) and a ton of other awesome geeky topics :)

"You can’t hide secrets from the future with math."

I wondered where that line came from! Nice!

"You can't hide secrets from the future with math" is going into my quote file.

Another nerdcore artist to listen to is M.C. Hawking. Incredibly funny stuff. Imagine Stephen Hawking as a hardcore rapper. http://www.mchawking.com/

There's a cracking video of one of his other tracks about 'Zork' called 'It's Pitch Dark' on youtube.

Check out "Alice and Bob" from the original CS gangsta rapper, MCPlus+. He references Bruce and Twofish in the lyrics, and has a shout-ou to Bruce in another one of his tracks. http://www.mcplusplus.com/

Very funny! Not strictly security related...

Sh#t is whack. White people should stay away from rap, its almost painful listening to this "nerdcore" rap crap, almost as painfull as some so called "real rap".

"You can’t hide secrets from the future with math."

WHACK!!!

For those of you interested in nerdcore, two artists I don't see mentioned yet that I can recommend are MC Router and MCPlus+ (whom Bruce has blogged about in the past).

If you're looking for something more mainstream, MC Chris (of ATHF & Cartoon Network fame) also has some good stuff.

Nerdcore Compilations available for download. They give you a decent cross section of whats available in nerdcore "scene"
