Happy May Day, workers. Let’s smash those looms that keep doing our weaving for us! And/or defeat fascism somewhat? I donno, seems like a thing that might get organized on a day like today.
Young nerdcore sensation McGwire features on the chorus vocal. Some pipes on that kid! Longtime Frontal co-conspirator Brendan B. Brown features as well, lending guitar to the second verse. Gm7 is on the keys and Beard Science is on the drums.
Track’s for sale, including in very high resolutions, over at Bandcamp. Game is free to play to your little heart’s content right here. Streamers and app stores will follow suit later in the month.
If you prefer watching other people play video games, a speedrun of the playable music video is on Yoot Ewb.
Join Front, Mega Ran, Prowess the Testament, Mark Cooper, Keetheweeb, Jake Neutron, Frivolous Shara, Shao Dow, The Microphone Misfitz, EyeQ, and Dual Core for the finest of geeked-out hip-hop evenings.
Happy gorge-upon-thine-feasties day to those who celebrate! Front ate pie, also sprouts.
Here to engage your mind briefly is a Hacker Jeopardy clue, as seen by contestants at DEF CON earlier this year. To which historical hacker does Front refer?
Think you’ll be in Austin for SXSW 2026? Front thinks he will. Maybe he’ll seeya there.
NPC this weekend! Tour all thru the end of the month!
I re-recorded the vocal to my original demo of Nerdcore Hip-Hop for its 25th anniversary. Wanna hear? Here:

(before you copy and paste that PW, consider that tumblr might show you the wrong number of backslashes at the end. Because I decorated my password with markup escape code like a REAL SMARTIE. There should be two backslashes at the end! Mystery solved.)
In this, the twenty-fifth year of Nerdcore Hip-Hop, why not see two of the finely aged greats on the west coast wing of their cross-country wander? YES, IT IS THE VINTAGE GENTLEMEN TOUR. And it begins June 12th.
Nashville! Next Weekend! That’s when the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention happens. And within that convention? What happens there? Intricate costumery. Delights untold. And a nice long set from your own MC Frontalot. That’s on Saturday afternoon. With a panel on Sunday morning. And Front’ll be on the floor with this various warez. Grab a badge while they’re hotttt.
Front’s about to head to SXSW for that aforementioned showcase! Here’s a nifty flyer for it, if you care to share one with an Austiny friend. Free with festival wristband, or tickets at the door!
South By Southwest is abrewin’! The twelfth Official Nerdcore Showcase will be there. Or thirteenth? Counting is hard. Maybe we’ll jump straight to 14th, like a superstitious person labeling elevator buttons.
Anyway! Flamingo Cantina, Saturday, March 15th. Calendar it now. Lots more info to come.
