Two updates, in one day? Impossible! But yet, here we are as now Nerdcore For Life (aka the documentary about various nerdcore rappers than mostly about nerdcore godfather, MC Frontalot,) has premiered to the world, in the heart of America, Wisconsin. Here is a link to the relevant data and some reviews. Note the scans of print articles with my face in them. Yeah, it’s humbling. Maybe even unsettling. Mostly awesome though.
Edit/PS: The wordpress has been updated again. Hopefully I can make use of the gallery function sometime soon.

Time for another Opensource Lyricist sighting, this time leading off Hi-Sci-Fi (a great radio show that interviewed me last year at SakuraCon, and whose co-host, Jevon Ryan, bought Opensource off of me at SakuraCon this year,) with my emo-tastic song “Hikikomori.” If you have not heard said song, here is an opportunity to do so.
Also, apparently, I’m “a cool guy” according to Jevon which explains the headline. Well, that and memes.
Anyways, I also want to thank everyone who said my cover EP was good/great/etc. Perhaps I shall return to that field at some point in the future.

A cover EP namely. Some old covers (including a remastered rarity,) and some very fresh stuff (try recorded earlier this week.)
Anyways, I’m just happy to get it done and out there. Some of those songs had been sitting for half a year or so, it’s nice to get it all out and collected.

*=To the tune of “Get Ya Burners Out” by Chamillionaire
Anyways, the site’s back up (hosting was moving locations,) though it might be down again as I’ve recently procured a server which hopefully will end up in a rack soon. Nekodashi might even be back up in the foreseeable future as a result.
Meanwhile, the first review of Nerdcore For Life documentary is in, and it’s pretty good. Can’t wait to see the actual doc in the future.
Oh, and I’ve been totally exhausted lately. Way too much running around and staying up late. I think I might be getting to old for this. 😉

I think he likes it. Maybe. BTW, if you know of reviews of my CD, then them to me, so I can post them on the site. Especially if they are very bad reviews. 🙂

Probably. As far as I know, I have no other copies. Should any ever turn up, I’ll auction ’em off for Child’s Play. Don’t get your hopes up though.

…of revision4920. I’m not reprinting it again, so get it while you can I guess.
Meanwhile, some music of mine was featured in the recent (as in with in the last month) episode of Nerdcore Rising’s Nerd of the Week segment. You can view that here: youtube. Coincidently, it is the episode about bloggers, so of course, I should blog about that. More surprisingly, it’s an older track of mine too, namely “bellevue” from Are We There Yet?, so that’s pretty cool. Of course, Karl Olson was misspelled, but that’s pretty much par for the course…

I’m left with myspace to upload content to. Thus, two new songs are up (unless you own the Romance Language reprint and Opensource Lyricist.) First off is “duplicate,” the song added to the Romance Langauge reprint, which is synth laden and song that bemoans the sameyness of the current music industry and the lack of real vision or movement at the moment. The other new track is “fashionable,” my ode to fashion that’s clearly from the perspective of an otaku whose main clues to fashion are clearly only Ai Yazawa, Clamp and other shoujo manga-ka, and it’s a song that also doubles as an absolutely over the top brag track as well.
In other news, anyone who likes my music would probably enjoy the debut EP from nerd music supergroup The Grammar Club. It’s intensely catchy and quite intelligent. Probably one of my favorite releases this year, not just from the nerd music scene, but in general.
