Everyone knows that senior prom is basically a bunch of horny build up followed by dashed hopes, drunken disappointment and, if you’re one of the lucky ones, bad sex and a not-too-exorbitant dry cleaning bill. We’d been trying to get Social Studies to the prom—um, into the back seat—for months. It turned out to be nearly as tough as convincing your date to wriggle out of that Jessica McClintock taffeta nightmare, but far, far more satisfying.

In Episode 8, Jaime Lee and The Definite Articles plot the nerd takeover of the world, exploring superpowers, molecular mixology, and the fine art of matching your bandmates’ pheromones. Shot on location in San Francisco, this video of The Definite Articles performing “Gestalt” was originally published on The Bay Bridged on February 22, 2011.

Everyone knows what happens at the end of Revenge of the Nerds. The Tri-Lambs mop the floor with the Alpha Betas during the Greek Games, using their big brains and a Vader mask to demolish the meatheads in competition and score with the hot Pi Delts. The lesson of the movie is plain—the geeks shall inherit the Earth. Continue reading Episode 8, Part 2: The Definite Articles
We originally called this a sneak peek of episode 8 (part 1 and part 2), but really, it’s just two minutes of sweetly goofy outtakes with The Definite Articles, also known as the most articulate, D&D-est chamber-pop group ever to bow a cello.

It’s a damn shame my public high school didn’t have an orchestra. No orchestra means those kids contentedly playing D&D in a corner while everyone else was busy pretending to get laid before their 17th birthday were denied achieving their full nerd potential. In addition to reaching Level 10 wizarding status, they could have been honing their skills on classical instruments that would someday result in them rocking the panties off a crowd of adoring fans. I have seen this alternative reality, and it looks a hell of a lot like The Definite Articles. They collectively prove that you can love Star Trek, attend ComicCon, and be effing hilarious to hang out with while completely shredding the bow of your instrument.

In episode 7, Magic Bullets enjoyed chatting with Jaime Lee, delving deep into topics like vintage vibrators, cock with wine, and Spam burritos (that’s not a euphemism, unfortunately). They also performed their song “A Day Not So Far Off.” Shot on location in San Francisco, this Backseat Beat Extra was originally published on The Bay Bridged on January 11, 2011.

When it sometimes feels like every other band in our fair foggy town is doing their best to mine obscure 60s garage nuggets in a bald attempt to please the PBR toting scenester crowds, it’s more than a little refreshing to find a band that draws its influences from an entirely different era. And if that band rocks the dirty, striped athletic socks off the same crowds with, of all things, witty and infectiously danceable New Wave–influenced pop music, well then, it’s even more impressive.

In Episode 6, indie-pop darling Ash Reiter balanced precariously on a boulder perched above Glen Park Canyon while rocking her way through songs like Francais, above. Shot on location in San Francisco, this extra was originally published on The Bay Bridged on December 9, 2010.
