Geek / Games / Film / Music Behold Geek: Remixed III.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Any album that begins with a pissed-off Laura Roslin shouting at the listener gets a big thumbs up from me.

Apparently aware of this rule, occasional Mercury freelancer Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts (of Cort and Fatboy fame) has finally released Geek: Remixed III, his third collection of remixed geek tunes. You can download III (along with I and II) for free right here. Bobby samples, remixes, and mashes up geeky tunes both contemporary and classic—making for fresh, compulsively listenable versions of everything from Bear McCreary's Battlestar Galactica score to the Night Court theme. It's pretty fantastic stuff.

A track from III is below, along with a track from the first Geek: Remixed that I couldn't help but include, given my earlier ramblings about Kill Bill.

LISTEN:

"A Fistful of Rupees" (Remixed and re-edited by Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts. Contains Samples of "Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and "Overworld Theme" by Koji Kondo from The Legend of Zelda)

LISTEN:

"Nas - Made You Look (Kill Bill Remix)" (Remixed by Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts. Lyrics by Nasir Jones. Samples "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei)
