On our show, we try to play songs that mention science in a meaningful way. Many of them are serious contemporary songs that are highly listenable. For the rest, there's always the 12 o'Clock Shock segment.

Many nerdcore artists make their stuff available for free on the net. Below are some links where you can download a few of the songs we've played - and a few we've rejected - on our show.
