I’ll have to hold off on comments for this little bit of news until I get home and get a chance to check things out, but I figured I’d throw it out now.
EMI, Apple partner on DRM-free premium music
All I can say is ‘WOW!’

Ultraklystron (how is it I can spell that and not ‘unfortunately’?) has finally put up a link for fans to order his new album, Romance Language. Sample tracks of the new album are not yet available, but he promises that they’ll be up soon. In the meantime, fans who order the album before [...]

Karl posts a link to another video blog entry about the fun that went down at CES.
Honestly, if I could link to only one five minute entry to describe Nerdcore, I think this would be it. A bunch of people are interviewed (Fanatical, BBear, MC Plus+, and I think a few others) and the [...]

There’s an old adage that by the time Time Magazine starts talking about something, it is fully and completely dead.
Well, looks like Nerdcore is finished.
Its been fun folks. May be I’ll see you around.

Living in the Nerdcore echo chamber its easy to come to think of Nerdcore and 8-Bit/Chiptunes as the definitive geek music. The only genres that allow for full blown embracement of the geek life style.
In other words, it is easy to forget about the older sibling (not sure if they’d be a brother or [...]

Gotta have love for the videos.
Karl has some Video footage from this weekend’s Fuel show on his blog here. Pretty cool version of Nerdcore For Life.

So, there’s been all kinds of various videos that have popped up since my last comment on the CES stuff. I had hopped to link to them, but I came down with a cold earlier in the week and I’ve been pretty out of it since (see the previous two posts as examples). [...]

OK, I’m heading off to bed, but I thought I’d post this real quick.
Ultraklystron posted a link to a Youtube video of him and Nursehella doing their new track. A track who’s name I’m not even going to pretend to type right now. May be when my eyes aren’t going blurry on me.
Anyways, [...]

So, I’m plowing through Nerdcorehiphop.org looking for stuff on this past week (as an aside, why isn’t this site just set up as a blog? Is there a fraking reason I can’t get an RSS feed with out have to scrape the page myself? OK, deep breaths…)
Not much new, but here are some [...]

New Benjamin Bear track over on his myspace page called ‘oh crap vampires’
I’m liking it, has that nice laid back vibe. Just noticed that Benjamin is dropping an album in April on Home Row Records. If the tracks playing on that site are his, then I’m definitely jazzed about that.
