Bandcamp
Multiupload
Google Music
After all, Hipster Please! liked it, and that blog is the Pitchfork of Nerdcore (or so I’ll claim.)

Don’t mind me, I’m just enjoying some flavorful sodas. Certainly no song leaks in the background of these soda reviews:

Pretend That I’m Famous

I have been interviewed about my upcoming project and so on. Highlights included me blathering about my creative process, what I do on collaborative projects, and my favorite Prince song. With juicy sweet information such as the preceding teasers, you know your soul is compelled to observe the amazing secrets of my banal life, as revealed to you in an excitingly over-verbose yet shockingly nondescript fashion.
Meanwhile, I should be more of a narcissist and google myself regularly, so I find sick fan videos when they come up:

You would already have Storyboard [The Animatic Mixtape] which features a whole bunch of songs of my next album Animatic. Those who didn’t pony up will have to wait until my birthday.
Also, I now have a tumblr that will have all the content from this blog on it. Like the LJ I still auto-crosspost to, I expect it’s relevance to be fleeting at best.

But here is the leak anyway. Might still need some vocal work.

Let’s start with a remix:
ultraklystron – he’s an og (dubcoin mix) by karlrolson
That little afternoon remix out of the way, I am playing yet another show, and this time I’m not even opening for Death*Star! Instead I am playing as a part of a day-long festival, the proceeds from which go to suicide prevention. It’s a good cause, so if you can make it out, awesome.
Also, the free best of is done. Push it everywhere. I am considering getting that QR code on some stickers even.
Lastly, I will be at PAX, and I will sit in on the “Making Art from Art” Panel at the Raven Theater. I am not so much officially on it, as friends with a number of the MCs on the panel. Still, I’ll probably have something to say about post-invention-of-the-word-Nerdcore Nerdcore. Come out and throw video game swag shirts at me. 😉

Gigs and Itches

So, this month I will perform at two big shows. One is the SFU Summer Festival, which happens on July 16th at the SFU Burnaby Campus. There, I will open for my friend Rai and my fiancee Nursehella. It’s free, it’s all ages and it should be quite a blast.
The other is July 30th, where I will open for Nerdcore rising star Klopfenpop and the now seasoned Death*Star. I would call it par for the course when it comes to my Seattle shows, except that this time we are performing in Everett at the AFK Tavern, a nerd bar and grill. If my antics don’t amuse you, play a tabletop game instead.
All of the details for both shows are listed on the shows page. If anyone else wants me to play somewhere, contact me 😀
That said, the rehearsals (in my car, on the way to and from school) have me itching to do a new record, and the material is largely done – I have had enough lyrics and beats for a while now. I even have a lot of vocals in the can (it’s good exercise.) When and how I’ll get it done and released is beyond me right now; school is a big commitment, and costs me more than I’ve made off music, so it’s job one, and various other commitments are a close second. The “if” is gone though. I will eventually do my sixth HipHop album. It will be an unexpected record.
