Hipster please is the best music and geek culture blog that I read. Z, its primary author is both immersed in the subject matter and a fantastic writer, well-practiced from his career in tech journalism. The writing style has a superior ratio of signal to noise while still being an entertaining, enjoyable, and immersive read. I get a fresh and complete look into the worlds of nerdcore hip hop, chiptunes, wizard rock, and all forms of geeky music entertainment all from this blog.

Hipster Please, and its companion podcast Radio Free Hipster constitute an invaluable music resource to me.
