They’ll be hitting San Franicisco’s Independent Theater on 9/25/09. He says this tour will be the only time Slew will perform live, so catch [...]
LOLcats, the first official music video from my newest album Me Geek Pretty One Day has been finally released. We shot the video on July 12th, 2008 on Quincy Street and the video magically finished production on July 12th, 2009. It was also a year ago that Dan caught this live performance of LOLcats at [...]
A few months ago I did production (& rapping) on The Digital Gangster LP (iTunes link), the split album by ytcracker and MC Lars. “MC Lars’s Facebook Count” is the second music video from DG and was directed by Tim Thompson and Odin Wadleigh (who also directed White Kids Aren’t Hyphy). I’m really proud of [...]
I love this old music video “Tired” by Controller 7. Controller 7 played a show in SF tonight, and I’m bummed I couldn’t catch it since I’ve been dieing to see him for years. I’m always hoping that he’ll come out of retirement and make some new beats, or even post some new entries on [...]

It features production and guest appearances by Beefy, MC Frontalot, and other nerdcore [...]
Of course most of us already knew it, but now it’s official: MC Lars and ytCracker are Internet Superstars! Lars and YT were in town last week recording their new e.p., tentatively titled “The Digital Gangster E.P.” (according to the interview embedded above), and I got a chance to hang out with both of them. [...]
This happened a while ago, but I forgot to brag: Drown Radio’s Geek N’ Spell (from the album Me Geek Pretty One Day) is the new intro music to Epic Fu! I’m so proud to hear one of my favorite tracks mixed with such cool animation. Epic Fu is one of my favorite shows and [...]
Internet expert and Drown Radio co-hort AllAboutGeorge has written a brand new song about Google’s Chrome browser. I personally believe the track, About:Internets, is AAGeorge at his best. Feel free to leave your comments on the song below and/or bump the song on TheSixtyOne.
The San Francisco Examiner recently published a list of the “Top 10 Hip-Hop Songs that Sampled a Video Game” which include our friends and fellow nerdites ytCracker and Random (aka Mega Ran).
The list was of particular interest to me since I’ve recently started working on the next Drown Pirate Radio podcast, which happens to be [...]
