<p>So yeah, I&#8217;ve been doing some serious booking for <a href="http://www.jonnyspartay.com">Jonny&#8217;s Par-tay</a> as of late &#8211; and I&#8217;ve been having a lot of fun with it. Last we had on one of my favorite bloggers (<a href="http://www.juliaroy.com">Julia Roy</a>), and all in the same hot minute, Evan Blaustein, the CEO of one of my favorite geeky products: <a href="http://www.mimoco.com">Mimobots</a>.  </p>
<p>This week (Wed. April 9th @9pm EST) we are having on someone that has more balls in the air than anyone I know in tech-geek-blogger land.  Let me introduce you to <a href="http://www.docpop.org">Doctor Popular</a>.</p>
<p>I learned of Doc Pop from an interview that <a href="http://www.zadidiaz.com">Zadi Diaz</a> did with him a while back on JetSet (now <a href="http://www.epicfu.com">Epic-Fu</a>).  You can watch that interview <a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/01/jetset_nerdcore_interview.html">here</a>.  In his own words (rapping of course), &#8220;I&#8217;m a comedy writer, a comics illustrator, a yo-yo pro, and a mouth harp afficianado&#8230;&#8221;.  And this doesn&#8217;t even begin to scratch the surface.  In his spare time, Doctor Popular runs an Etsy store where he hosts items from hand-made wallets and coffee cozies to i-phone cases (made of denim scraps and other materials) and hand drawn comics. He makes yo-yo&#8217;s (he&#8217;s the third place world yo-yo&#8217;ing champ).  He&#8217;s a tailor and clothing designer.  And most important &#8211; to this week&#8217;s show at least &#8211; he&#8217;s one hell of a Nerdcore Rapper.  </p>
<p>Doc Pop joins us on the Par-tay to set us straight about his new album &#8220;<a href="http://www.drownradio.com/mgpod">Me Geek Pretty One Day</a>&#8220;.  I have only three words to describe it&#8230;&#8221;meow, meow, motherf***3r.&#8221;  With songs of caution like LoLCats, a rap battle with MC Stephen Hawking &#8220;you&#8217;ve got a 3 digit I.Q&#8230;if you use binary. Ohhh.&#8221;, and a song about Gygax &#8220;a gaming goliath&#8221; &#8211; Doc Pop keeps it geeky. He gets a little down and dirty with &#8220;twisted cherry stems&#8221;, and lays down some great beats on &#8220;les mis&#8221;, &#8220;level 2&#8243;, and &#8220;geekandsay&#8221;.  Seriously, check it out.  Still not sure it&#8217;s for you?  Well, check out Doc Pop April 09th @9pm on <a href="http://www.jonnyspartay.com">Jonny&#8217;s Par-tay</a> for a special live performance, an insiders look at the life of an artist, and the usual shenanigans you&#8217;ve come to expect from Jonny and me.  Hope to see you there!</p>
