Episode 262 :: Moogfest 2016 with Gary Numan
When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into the super-specific with listener-requested discussions and interviews.
Moogfest has returned! This nearly uncategorizable symposium of sight and sound has dazzled us in every instance of its intermittent incarnation and this year it materialized in Durham, NC. It's part electronic music festival, part sci-tech convention where music legends and futurists meet for an uncanny synthesis of ideas and experiences.
It was a hi-fi weekend, but this is a low-fi recording as Cap and Bryan recount their adventures LIVE from within a Chevy Volt and running on little to no sleep as they make the trip from North Carolina back to Orlando. Hear about their favorite performances, the mysteries of technoshamaism, the suppressed history of women's role in 20th century computing, vastly differing transhumanist views, the strange circumstance of cyborg pedicure performance art, and even an interview with New Wave legend, Gary Numan!
