Lots of great stuff happening on the West Coast these days. Nerdcore Rising, the nerdcore documentary that features a healthy dose of Drown Radio in it’s soundtrack, is playing tonight and Wednesday at The Red Vic Theater in San Francisco.
Tomorrow night is a huge nerdcore show at The Uptown in Oakland featuring MC Frontalot, MC [...]
I’m happy to say that MC Lars and YTCracker’s new studio album, The Digital Gangster, is available now! Digital Gangster features 14 tracks made by two nerds with a real love of hip hop and is “for sale” in Radiohead-esqu donation system. 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 [...]
Dan Lamoureux, from Nerdcore For Life, totally made my day with this email:
“Hey I saw that san Francisco examiner thing. I think you’re officially the first nerdcore artist to make the “sports” section of any paper, anywhere.”
He was referring to this article promoting the California State Yo-Yo Contest (as opposed to this one). Thanks [...]
We Like Chess from Karim Amara on Vimeo.
A few weeks ago Irina, AllAboutGeorge, and myself recorded individual verses for the WuChess Rap Contest. Shortly after, George laid down a beat and we re-recorded our vocals. Then we headed down to the big chess scene on Market Street and shot the video. Between takes I managed [...]
Wired.com writer Angela Watercutter wrote a recap of the NC4L showing in SF (featuring an interview with the movie’s director). Read it here. The article sort of focuses on nerdcore beefs, but Angela seems to think highly of the film overall. She writes “The battle for computer science rap domination between MC Plus+ and Monzy [...]
I wanted to officially introduce everyone to my friend AllAboutGeorge. George and I have been playing shows together, including the Nerdcore For Life party at Double Dutch. I think Dan, the director of NC4L, sums it up pretty well in a recent email:
I’ll tell you what, you and that All About George guy make an [...]
