Check it out: the first Geek Pop pin to reach alien shores (okay, Australia). Anyway, don’t ask us - ask @AstroMeg, who is doing astronomy type stuff down under. AstroMeg won our first Friday pin badge competition a couple of weeks ago. (Follow @geekpop on Twitter to play.)

Everyone loves a bargain, right? Especially when it’s nearly Christmas. So, to buy gifts for your geek friends and relatives, use the voucher code “NOVEMBERSALE” for any Geek Chic purchase before 29 November and you’ll get 15% off. Hooray!

The November Playlist has a loose time travel theme - if you ignore half of it, that is… Hayley and Jim get to grips with loneliness, flux capacitors and warp drives. And Jim still isn’t done with his aluminum/aluminIUM rant… Just don’t encourage him. You can find the tracks from this Playlist on Spotify (sorry, no Time Travel is Lonely on Spotify).

Aluminum - Barenaked Ladies

The Time Warp - Richard O’Brien “et al”

Time Travel is Lonely - John Vanderslice

Flux - Bloc Party

Planned Obsolescence - 10,000 Maniacs

Use the comment box, tweet at @geekpop or email crew@geekpop.co.uk to let us know what you think about the science behind the songs.

Thanks to Intercontinental Music Lab for their awesome intro and outro music, taken from Probe II’s Golden Message on the Superheroes of Space album.
