Influential geek-rock superstar Jonathan Coulton explains why you might want to “stay on the good side of the guy who’s got the secret handshake down.” For conspiracy lovers everywhere. Parental Advisory: suitable for all ages
Folk singer Dr. SETI (sometimes known as Dr. Paul Shuch, the man credited with designing the world’s first commercial home satellite TV receiver) leads a live audience in a fond shout-out to the late, great astronomer Dr. Carl Sagan. Parental Advisory: suitable for all ages
The snappiest ditty from Artichoke’s acclaimed alt-rock concept album 26 Scientists, Vol. 1 (A–M), “Mary Anning” tells the story of the self-taught woman who discovered the first fossil plesiosaur — and paved the way for Darwin to rewrite the history of life. Parental Advisory: suitable for all ages
With lyrics like “accepting deception as part of the show,” former P!nk backup singer Celia Chavez builds a haunting, off-kilter love song on the memory of 19th century showman, skeptic, and huckster P. T. Barnum. Co-written with Hilary Gardner. Parental Advisory: suitable for all ages
An energetic, tongue in cheek, rockabilly sales pitch for traditional snake oil medicine (“It’s good for what ails you…It clears phlegm, cures gout — and drives demons out”) this song makes note of the true medicinal ingredient in many such patent potions: booze. Parental Advisory: Very mild innuendo. Refers to alcohol.
