As a creator of satirical music, I thought I\u2019d share this piece by John Anealio<\/a>, called \u201cAngry Robot.\u201d The lyrics deserve a close listen, since the song doesn\u2019t just explore the familiar science fiction trope of robots and whether they can be kept from conquering us, but also what might motivate a robot to want to do so.<\/p>\n

Anealio recently posted on his blog<\/a> about the frustration of having music that one enjoys making and wants to share with others, but not finding it getting the attention that one wishes. And so I thought I\u2019d do my part of help spread the word about his entertaining geeky musical offerings!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
