Hex Grid – Episode 11 – On the Shoulders of Giants

Posted by Hex on March 12, 2013

This week I have quite a treat for you! As well as having a selection of classic nerdy music that are from the rarer side of things I also have an interview with none other than Jerry Buckner of Buckner and Garcia! We talk about the old days, how the group got involved with Wreck-It Ralph, and upcoming projects!

The focus of the episode is to hopefully introduce you to songs that have been influential in molding the collective unconscious of nerdy music.
