Back In The US / Concert After-Thoughts

So, after a week or so spent largely in another country (Canada,) I’m back in the US for atleast a couple weeks. It was definitely time well-spent, as for the first time since December, I was able to spent time with my girlfriend w/o some major event/concert/convention eating up most of the time. I’ll spare readers the details, but in short, great food + great shopping + a great city + wonderful company = an awesome time.
Of course, there was still a little concert in all that, and I’d have to say it was one of my favorite nerdcore shows to date, at least in terms of concerts I actually performed at. Of course, the fact I was able to really just lay down a very good set without any technical difficulties nor memory glitches helped that notion, but the fact that everyone else gave it there all and did awesome sets certainly aided and abetted that sentiment as well. The whole night made me think that Nerdcore really does have room for some more big artists, and that I could maybe even be one of them. Maybe. 😉

Watch as album sales tumble 😉 (which is fine, because I’m not in the US to ship them right now anyway.)

Collaboratificationed

To those of you out there who think I don’t sound hiphop enough, I recommend checking out ZeaLouS1’s Collabocide, as it’s a nerdcore hiphop album that really gets the hiphop part right without sacrificing the nerdcore part at all. I mean, yeah, I also do a collab with ZeaLouS1 on this CD where I rap about my love of shoujo anime and manga while ZeaLouS1 raps about the Gar/seinen side of anime and manga (track 17, “Animezing”,) so maybe I’m little biased when it comes to recommending it. However, I assure the rest of the collabs are even better, so I recommend it if you enjoy nerdcore, but love rap.
PS: Watch out for YTCracker name dropping me in his collab with ZeaLouS1 (track 18: “nerdstyle.”)

So, since Nekodashi is still down (BTW, Misu, get back to me on that.) Anyways, in lieu of actual music downloads (though I guess I should put a zip sooner rather than later.) However, a few managed to download it before Nekodashi died, a few others even bought the album for some bizarre reason, and members of both parties have decided for some weird reason to review my album. There’s a review from Z of Hipster, Please and a whole thread about the album at Rhyme Torrents. If those reviews don’t convince you to buy my album without listening to it, you’re patient. Good for you 😉

Once the DNS repopulates, nekodashi.com and all the music on it should be back up. Finally.
In other news, my copy of Vista Ultimate came in. Now to wait a year for a service packs and drivers to come out so it’s actually, maybe worth installing.

Upgrades n’ Downgrades / Second Pressing

I upgraded the computer with a new mobo/proc/mem, so I’m now running a Pentium D 915 w/ 2GB of SuperTalent DDR2-667 (thats only running at 533 thanks to the mediocre but free ECS mobo I’m running.) This required an XP reinstall, which was fine outside of forgetting to keep a copy of my custom Litestep skin, leaving me back on Explorer again as I dislike Litestep skins that have anything more than a pop-up, a sys-tray and clock. Next time I’m bored, I’ll fix it, but for now I’m fine I suppose. I also need to find my Office install discs too, but I do so little word processing and such, so I have very little reason to search.
Besides, the main priority lately has been shipping the copies of the new CD that many people (read: nerdcore fans who already bought Revision, other nerdcore artists and nerdcore documentarians.) Thanks to my negligence in terms of keeping tabs on which version of files I was using, the 2nd run has a little print issue, but a different one than the first run, so I suppose it’s just as collectible, though I’d hope the main reason people are being the CD is to listen to it, especially since it looks like nekodashi has no ETA for resurrection (let this be a lesson to me: never trust friends to pay website bills that aren’t their own on time.) No zip package up yet, but check back in the next day or so.
Oh, and it’s snowing outside and sticking. And it’s March in Washington state. Not the first time by any means, just something unexpected.
