> [@Ponderoid](#): > > So ever since my first post to this thread, I’ve been listening to my playlists and adding new entries to that playlist whenever a song or video comes up I consider both very good and also geeky or nerdy enough, or if I’m reminded of its existence in some way. Has anybody else looked at that list to play other items in it besides the first one, '39? Youtube doesn’t think so. Could you post the link again? If it’s in this thread I can’t find it. ---

The post where I embedded '39, that was also a link to the playlist which contained it. [Link to my Geeky and Nerdy Stuff playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPQZpnxa4HuZiNpmLq5y8nmaSEdjb0gs4) I’ve been adding more and more stuff as I think of it, as well as many of the things posted in thread. ---

Rachel Bloom first made her big splash by the even geekier F\*ck Me, Ray Bradbury. Spoilered because potentially NSFW. But’s on Youtube, so it’s still pretty safe. > **Summary** > > [Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury - Rachel Bloom - YouTube](https://youtu.be/e1IxOS4VzKM) ---

I am very disappointed, my own fault for misreading the title and being very confused at the entries. I thought it said “GREEK” and was about to splatter the thread with songs by Georgia Dagaki and Eleftheria Arvanitaki. Time for new specs I think.
