This edition of GeekDad HipTrax is all about skillful lyricism and delicate acoustic-rooted instrumentation. And also Pok\\xe9mon.
\\n\\nThink of it as HipTrax Unplugged:
\\n\\n\\u201cGotta Catch \\u2018Em All (feat. The Stacey)\\u201d by Insane Ian
\\n\\nThis song, taken from Ian\\u2019s larger work \\u201cUltimate Epic Video Game Medley 3rd Strike,\\u201d combines Adele\\u2019s \\u201cRolling in the Deep\\u201d with the theme song from Pok\\xe9mon, a mash-up that obviously resonates here on the internet. It features the vocal stylings of his wife Stacey.
\\n\\n\\u201cLittle Songs\\u201d by Grace Kendall
\\n\\nMany listeners likely know Grace as Wizard Rocker Snidget, and similarly associate her more with the dulcimer than the ukelele. Still, her Little Songs puts the uke center stage in a 12-track collection of earnest lyrics and simple, infectious melodies.
\\n\\n\\u201cGood\\u201d by John Anealio
\\n\\nThis classic 90s cover is available as a part of John\\u2019s ongoing free Covers project, and it is also featured on my upcoming Hipster, please! compilation Nerd Up the 90s.
