Nerds and geeks are peaceful right? Nope! We battle as much as anyone else, but seldom in a fisticuffs fight. You know, it’s all about words and feeling superior because we have an HP 48 calculator, an Amiga instead of an Atari or because our favorite demo group just won in the great demo party. DJ Daemon dives into why we need to form groups or “cliques” where we feel elevated and enlighted as opposed of those other “troglodytes” of the competition.Playlist:00:00 Jingle – Top of the hour – Good evening sez Nicole.00:10 DJ Daemon – The Intro where he runs into the fray, again!00:42 Gopher – Enemy Engaged06:00 DJ Daemon – Why do we even join groups?06:58 WLsRogrbMxI – Nerdy Girl09:34 DJ Daemon – Fairlight vs Triad, not quite a love story, or is it?11:21 Fairlight – Cracktro12:39 Per Almered – TRIAD MUSIC15:47 DJ Daemon – Amiga vs Atari!
