Drown Radio - Me Geek Pretty One Day

I know a lot of ya’ll nerdcore hip hop fans saw the Nerdcore splash page in the actual pages of Wired magazine a few months back. If you’ve visited any of the nerdcore boards or listened to any 1337 Geek Beat songs recently then you probably know how pissed off MC Router was about what Wired had to say about our tiny neck of the woods.

Most complaints about the article were based around the articles brevity, but Router was more concerned with who was in ther article and how they were portrayed. In fact she was so pissed, she wrote an entire song about it, contacted Wired’s editors, and posted several drunk ass youtube rants.

Well, check this out.. Wired hasn’t beefed up the article or anything, but they put up a cool piece about the rant on their blog. Check out how the blog writer goes out of his way to point out that the nerdcore piece was written by an “intern”. Also note a lack of “Drown Radio” printed anywhere within the pages of any major publication anywhere… Damn it.

For the record, I thought the article was awesome. Sure they didn’t cover jack shit about the scene, and a bunch of us had our hopes up that we might actually appear, but I think it was amazing coverage for those that made the cut, and excellent press for the nerdcore scene in general. My hits definetly went up, not by much.. but hey.

Speaking of chicks in print, check out Babes With Books (via). What a great concept, and it works on many many levels. I’d personally love to see some cute nerd thumbing through the instruction manual of a Casio DM-100. Here is a random cute pic from the page.

I’m finding a lot of good nerdcore related pages out there, I’ve got my favorites (GetLoFi Hipster Please) linked at the top, but I just found a great site call Nerd-Music.Com. Nerd music is quickly aqquiring good content related not just to Nerdcore Hip Hop, but also the best of the chiptune and micro-music scene. Good stuff so far, now, if I could just find the RSS button on it…
