Geek Rock!

[squeequeg]

So I'm thinking about putting together a Geek Rock cd sometime, and I'd like some suggestions.

At the moment, I'm defining geek rock as:
- songs that in themselves are inherently geeky ("Homecomputer," "Mandelbrot Set," Always the First to Die")
- songs that refer to or are tied to geeky media ("The Pants Song," "Obey the Fist!", theme from The Tick)
- songs that confer a geeky mood ("Birdhouse in Your Soul," "Turntable TV")

I'm having the most trouble with the last category, as it's a very vague one.

Any ideas as to what should go on this? Anyone interested in a copy?
