More Nerd News in Brief

I grew up a punk rock kid, so the passing of Hilly Krystal probably hit me harder than many other residents of rural America. It’s amazing to think that one simple man and one dive bar could serve as such a strong catalyst for a musical revolution. Amazing but undeniable.

One of my many music-related regrets is never making it to CBGB before its closing last October, but those are, as they say,

this is gonna be one of those glum posts where i dont realize how good i got it. but it’s like in bioshock when u want to just keep searching and collecting potato chips and money clips, but eventually its like you already have all the incendiary bolts you need. but its the act of acquiring everything that i like. everyone’s proudly flying through it and i prefer it like potter, in bits, to relish, a new location for each day.

but im not explaining myself right. my memory on my laptop is full. cuz i have 5000 songs. i’ve erased everything i can think of but it still says my start up disk is full and i have to delete files. i just added a few new albums to it. and now it’s fukt.

i tried to figure out my airport extreme so i could get everything talking, and i thought i might achieve it but it’s the same problem as before: the computers receiving the signal full blast, full bars, but u still cant get online. i may have to call up the geek squad. um… yeah, explain to me why i can’t have 200 oldies on my itunes. and make my wii and my 360 make out. consoles gone wild. i need intech help, just like every other kind of help i need. jonnie cant roadie for me this fall. the only thing that seems done about tour is the poster. which is the most awesome poster in the history of posters. its got me wanting it to be fall.

but i dunno, memory, inventory, mice. i feel like im running out of space. so i went on a walk and crossed the bridge. i went into landmark which im beginning to like more than other theaters (goonies on friday.) i saw dedication by justin thoreux with billy crudup and mandy moore. i’ve never liked crudup in anything and thoreux, even the name reeks of vincent gallo-ness, cool new yorker, prolly drinks cocktails with members of the state at some out of the way little place, oh look, there’s the gillyhalls! or how ever you say it. he just seems like some LA douche that lives in soho. is there a difference between LA and soho, i’m not sure. but anyway. i loved this movie. and it’s sucks to go home and feel like a movie spoke to you and then find out its got 47% tomato meter rating. everyone called it obvious, a compromise.

i liked it. ive pretty much always been in love with mandy moore. i think i bought one of her movies at a truck stop, the one where her grandma smokes pot. she looks a little bigger than emaciated and has ally sheedy breakfast club hair. she never looks bad. like julia stiles though their faces have taken on fun house dimensions in their recent endeavors. she’s still every guys’s dream girl. unless ur a dick.

and billy crudup played a crazy guy with a helmet with ocd from three different movies. random craziness because of child abuse. and he wants the girl but he doesnt know how to let me himself be ok with it, and he sabotages it. and ruins it. it had lots of interesting things to say, like relationships are about comparing each other’s damage. it starts crazy pessimist like i can feel almost all the time, and it ended very postively, outlook wise, which is an attitude i’d like to adopt, angelina jolie stylie. it was corny and critics hated it, saw it as cliched. i guess im very cliched.

it reminded me of science of sleep, buffalo 66 or this book im reading, confederacy of dunces, about being in this weird place where its time to be a man and break patterns. not be naive and foolish. not stumble every step. its time to walk tall. but sometimes that time can just pass. and ur a perpetual child. like ignatius. i root for all these people, like scott baio even. can u grow up? can i grow up?

i dont know if im making any sense. the mice have got me depressed. because now they’re smarter than the traps. im gonna come home from tour and its gonna be muppets take manhattan up in this piece with’m swingdancing on a stack of plates etc.

and as i walked the city and sat in the theater alone, enjoying the other person’s laugh in the echo of that place. i have begun to feel this overwhelming need to not do this alone. any of it. movies, sleeping, touring. what if there was someone there always to help? i think it’s become my big dream/wish. and it’s not even about the one or marriage or will this work. i just mean, something real, right now, that makes this life easier. i know relationships stir up their own fumes, but still. i want a pahdner to giddy up with.

i feel detached. and i said to my friends, it might be just a necessary ingredient for this music i make. to never feel a part of anything. im connecting to one person pretty much right now. just one. and we say hello in the morning and so long right before bed. i send her talkartoons. im kinda fascinated with bimbo right now. i share my life with her. and it helps. i wonder if it’s just this weirdness about not being on the road, and having this big album due, that i make on my own. i need somone like her. she’s out there though, like every girl i meet, hidden somewhere in the folds of the map. somewhere in america. never here. just mice. and jerks. and jackhammers.

september will be strange indeed. i dont even have birthday plans. i just go to this wedding in jersey on friday. shine my shoes on thursay. i dont really have any friends here. well i do, but i see them once a week. i dunno who really excites me tho, who do i want to listen to go on and on. like tom wilkinson in dedication. not really anybody. maybe i should go on a circle line tour.

these damn mice. i just need to buy a hard drive and some more glue traps, buy some eve. (i like chucking flaming corpses.) i need to get a little bit more motivated. not let waves of urban vermin be the death of me. i can deal.

To everyone freaking out…

Please stop.

Stop writing this up and pontificating upon me taking a break like it’s an obituary. I mean, it’s cool that y’all care – it makes me feel like maybe I achieved something with what I was doing, but it’s not at all the end of the world. Besides, it’s not like I’d had been putting out a lot of music, or gigging all the time anyway. If it takes an extra year for The Fourth Estate (if I even call it that by the time I put it out,) to be released – so say a 2009 release date – that’s not really an obscene gap between releases. I mean, revision4920 (as a CD) was released in 2005, Romance Language was released in 2007 and Opensource could drop whenever I feel like it (maybe if I get some cash together from sort of normal, gainful employment soon, it’ll be out be soon.) Time flies all things considered, and really, in the proper perspective, one can argue this changes nothing. I’m just codifying what I’d probably end up doing anyway.

To put it another way, patience is a virtue: think about how much more polished, soulful and rewarding the next album should be if it’s not part of a pressured deadline or schedule. Don’t think of this as death folks, this is a rebirth. I’m making me Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

What About Your Friends?: A Pontification on Nerds and Community

Filed under: hipster please — @ 2:20 pm

Yesterday, my son – affectionately referred to here-in as Lil’ X. – was sick again… or still… depending upon which pediatrician you ask. Anywho, as a result I stayed home from work to tend to him.

I’m a dad. It’s what I do.

Due to the fact that he was so ill, he didn’t offer a lot in the way of entertainment. (Normally he’s more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys, but yesterday, in his

“From my revision beginnings…

Filed under: Ultraklystron — @ 8:17 pm
Ultraklystron

To that OpenSource ending
Listen close you’ll hear what I’m about
People feel my truths.”

-Me paraphrasing Jay-Z

So, I’m taking a break from music. After basically losing my temper after a miserable PAX, and generally sort of so/so summer, and given that I just can’t really justify pushing onward when I can’t even get the basics right like being good to my girlfriend, and generally getting my life moving forward. Fact is, I need to get back into school (especially since I have my transfer degree from BCC now,) I need to get some gainful employment (especially since I can’t really eat off of my music at the moment,) and I need to get my own place (my parents are great people, but I have to prove myself out in the world, or atleast give it a real shot – if I don’t, atleast I know that I have a caring family to fall back on – not everyone can say that.)

Besides, I don’t think I even really have the heart to do much musically at the moment – all that’d probably come out is dumb emo rap, and lets face it, no one wants to hear that. I will get Rai’s album done, and I’ll make beats for Nursehella when ever she wants them, but beyond that, I’m just not feeling it (if a raft of people want Opensource, maybe I’ll get a run done since all the song for that are ready; however, I doubt that, so maybe I’ll just try to get it on iTunes or something.) I think part of the problem was all this stuff was going to my head, yet, I really didn’t have the basics down. That’s backwards. I think I should be successful and happy in the rest of the facets of my life first before trying to be a public figure of any sort, even in the only vaguely internet famous way that I am. If I don’t, I risk messing things up worse than before.

I’m sorry if I’m letting anyone down or getting anyone’s spirits down by saying all this, so allow me to end on a note of hope; I think Nerdcore is going to be massive with or without me, and that’s a good thing. I mean, if taking one person out of scene meant that it wasn’t going to function, that would have meant it doesn’t really have the legs to go somewhere, right? However, as I saw during the concerts at PAX (when I wasn’t being kicked out from them even though I had a special guest pass,) and just by the general attention and recognition the luminaries of this young genre received, Nerdcore is in better shape than ever. There are wonderfully talented people who are just beginning their careers, and they are the proof that this all has legs beyond just the 1st and 2nd generation acts. I mean, when the 3rd gen acts are already holding their own with people who have been in the game for over 7 years now, that’s wonderful. I wish everyone who makes Nerdcore a priority in their life who are happy with that the best of luck. You’re creating something brand new via your own talent and strength, and that’s lovely and awe-inspiring. Maybe one day, I’ll be strong enough again to stand beside you. I certainly don’t intend to give up with out a fight, I just need to fight through some other things first.

Has technology crippled our natural, human ability to intuit?

I haven’t the foggiest. In fact, I’d never even considered the question until I came across this piece from NEWSWEEK concerning the staggering power of data mining.

Conceptually, I find the concept fascinating; I mean, why go with a “gut feeling” about what your customers want when you can crunch meta-data and know for sure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Filed under: mc chris — @ 11:24 am
mc chris
THIS HAS BEEN COPY PASTED FROM THE MESSAGE BOARDS. QUESTIONS ONLY GET ANSWERED IF THEY ARE IN THE FAQ’S THREAD, SO HOLLA DOLLA!

any word on dates for southern cali? looks like we might be in socal around halloween time. the day before in san diego, maybe. we’re doing hollywood, hopefully san luis obispo and anaheim. nothing is on lock down yet. but will be in a day or so.

When it comes to touring and booking, how can WE the FANS go about getting you to come to our area more frequently or help with booking? well start by talking to venues, sound guys, venue managers. they work with promoters or promote shows themselves. the promoters hire me and set up the show. kids have set up shows themselves all it requires is a lot of dough up front and some levels of maturity/responsibility. mainly though you want to have a professional promoter set it up, so you find him by talking to people who work at the venues you see shows at. if you really want to get the word out you make cd’s. tell them i’ve done over 350 shows, that i tour small venues nonstop all the time and can get a crowd of 200-500 people anwhere depending on the locale. tell them about booking@mcchris.com. tell them about the website. basically do all the work for me. where there is a will there is a way. make like wayne’s world and make it so. it just takes a little effort and a pa system.

I haven’t seen you collaborating with any other rappers. Is this coincidence, or policy? it’s policy pretty much. i mean i pretty much tell everyone no and i dont really have any rap friends and i dont know any famous rappers. well i asked one to be on the next record that’s more famous than me so we’ll see what he says. but mainly it’s about how good the song is. is the person just trying to bite off the little bit of fame i got going, etc. i have to treat my voice and my music with great respect, like its my daughter i dont want to give it up to just anybody. like music videos im just like rambo in the mud. it looks like nothing’s happening but then pow i slice ur head off and blow up the dude in the front with the gun in the back.

was trying to find out before about Nate and if he was a pro artist or just a big fan and trying to see if he would take a comission to do some more characters for my zombie tattoo? nate likes money but nate takes time. he is a pro and a fan and makes real comics for real and hopefully, maybe, if i pray to jesus enough, he will work on the mc chris cartoon with me and help with toys. he has a myspace, a blog, and a livejournal.

http://fetorpse.blogspot.com/

an mc gjioe figure, that has money written all over it. forget pocket rockets, put mc in your pants. this is a brilliant idea. if they are making a rowdy roddy piper gi joe, why not a me? well i’m no rowdy, i prefer chewing bubblegum over kicking ass, but i wll cautiously bring this up to my friends at hasbronics.

So I guess how do you choose opening acts? i dont usually i let the promoters. often time it’s gong show shit where my green room is filled with people making crazy costume changes. i secretly like pop punk bands or just straight up rock n roll bands than joke shit or other rappers or gimmick music. which is what i get lumped in with. i did let some nerdy rappers open for me this year but i think because my gigs are getting bigger that’s gonna be just this year. except for frontalot it wasnt all that enjoyable. i do sometimes bring friends with me like the ergs or my booking finds a cool collab, like with piebald or pinback. this spring will be bringing the alamo drafthouse with us as well as gemberling and gwinn. maybes on all that but that’s what i want to do.

When are the bobble heads coming out? its funny that u say this because the mc chris design was supposed to have a bobble head feel, not extreme but slight like calvin’s. so yes we will do it, we just cant bust our nut finacially until we have a hit and it makes sense. im looking at more grounded merch like hats and bags first and then toys. toys i think maybe next christmas, maybe. if the next album’s a hit.

do ya reply to pms? i do indeed. on the message boards, but not anywhere else unless you are a cute girl from kansas.

Any chance of belt buckles for future merch? i think what i want to do is find a company that can do everything, print, ship, etc. with tons of different kinds of merch. where i send them art they put it on coffee cups and candy bowls what have you. i want to have that in place by this christmas. so we’ll see. maybe i am refuting my last response on merch by saying we want a company that can do everything, implying we will make everything. we’ll see.

Do you have any advice for those just starting out in the hip hop game? write a lot, read a lot. listen to music a lot. practice all the time, do variety shows, open mics and poetry readings. learn to make music or find someone that can, record yourself. set up shows. play at parties. don’t stop. put out ur own albums on ur own site. make the site look good. make everything free and easy to acquire. make a message board for a fan base to happen inside of. then make merch. then charge for records. then do shows in venues. then do tours. then never get signed. sad face. be yourself, dont be a poser, and rep what ur into without apologies or explanation.

why aren’t you playing with Pinback in Florida? they prolly already have someone touring with them. i never choose these things. it’s all just random and if you really have to see just drive. be safe, but driving is no biggie. it seems like its all i do.

How does the whole booking process work? mainly it’s inside and they will look at the booking email but they’re not as responsive to every email as past booking agents have been true. that’s because this is the real deal, pretty much as good as its gonna get with me, these are top of the line guys that cant get back to every bachelor or birthday party request. i told them i will do little things if the person pays a lot of dough and flies me in and hotels me up and does everything super legit and nice, so i dont have to suffer for my art. i make it this hard because most people just want to be crazy drunk at their house with me playing at their party and that’s just not fun because then i’m trying to do business with a drunk person, im prolly not making any money, i’m prolly losing it, and its just a bum out. so you gotta have dough and ur shit together so how professional ur email sounds helps. if you just write, how do i get you? you wont get a reply. if you say i got you, we’re so legit it’s sick. he’s a picture of our PA system, here’s where the show would be, here’s another show we did, here’s how much we’ll pay, we’ll do hotel and flight and it will be awesome and not stressful in the least bit. etc. do not copy paste that.

what do you think happens to us after we die? you will find out next year.

What’s your favorite strain of herb? it’s like beer, talking about strains is lame. people are doing it to make intoxicating themselves seem more like collecting or something, but i dont care if it’s called bubblegum or boogerswamp. it’s gonna get incinerated.

who is fallyn about? she is about someone that im too nervous to talk to in nyc. but the chorus is about a different girl that i met on the road. i titled it fallyn because there is a girl named fallyn and i’m singing “fallin” in the song. fallyn the real girl, has a dad who is like the inventor of baseball caps of the universe, he’s like the ceo of new era caps or something along those lines, she’s a big fan and loves sending me baseball caps. so i threw her back some love, via song title.

OK THE NEXT TWO ARE OLD SO THE INFO MIGHT BE A LITTLE DATED. SURI. CRUISE. INFO ON THINGS LIKE TOYS AND TOURS ARE PROLLY IRRELEVANT.

When you write a song/lyrics, how often does it happen that it’s exactly what you wanted from the start?

never, i think, like everything in life, it starts out a vision and then becomes a reality. i love that i have no idea what the final result will be like. and to go back and listen to early versions is a trip because they can sound nothing like the final.

This is going to turn into an interview thread. What is your mother’s maiden name and bank account information?

my mother’s maiden name is a secret but she’s comes from indiana. both my folks were raised in the mid west, my father was raised in illinois. before that a majority of my ancestors came over from ireland as indentured servants or farmers. i am also one quarter alsatian which is famous for its champagne. so i’m three parts beer, one part champagne.

I made an awesome remix (in my mind at least), how can I submit it to you so that you can listen to it over and over again?

i have a new fan mail address that is great for getting my attention when you feel like myspace and the message boards have failed you. it’s deadmc@mcchris.com.

Why aren’t you on MTV?

i dunno. i’m not on a label, and mtv’s kinda goin through a tough time along with the rest of the music industry. lots of people have lost their jobs and lots of consolidating has taken place. i’m sure that means bigger workloads for the same pay. which sucks. i think with things like utube, a forum for playing ur video is no longer an impossible dream. it’s an ambitious task but i want to have a video for every song on the next album and then release it on a dvd with some other stuff. fans have done a great job making flicks for youtube (we’ve got over 150!) so i think one or two of these music videos will be made by fans, i think just like remix contest we’re gonna have a video contest as well. winner gets to be on the dvd.

What’s up with hard copy CD’s?

i have a few hundred with me on the road but they’re are pretty much done. does this mean forever? i dunno. these versions, with these mixes and images is definitely over though. if it comes back (and honestly it’s not looking good) they will be revamped and repackaged with new art and a better sound. why did i do this? i think it’s time for me to move on, and i think the old stuff needs to cool its heels for a second. this will put them in greater demand if we resell and it makes the process of collecting everything more fun i think than just buying something. it’s more of a treasure hunt now. as with everything i put on sale get it while it’s hot, who knows if it will come back.

Where can I buy and/or download your bitchin’ music?

there’s a kid named mdt that is pretty much the jedi librarian. he knows everything. he can help you find what ur looking for. i think lists will get made and you just have to put ur hardy boy hat on and find that shit. the entire first album now comes in zip form off mcchris.com. the look and listen page was updated to make getting lab an easier experience. the album’s will be on itunes until the end of the june. there will be a bunch of records scattered across the country at indie record stores as well as ebay and amazon.

When are you playing *insert obscure town here*?

we are hitting the nw, east coast, florida, the south and texas this tour. we will hit cali and the midwest in the fall. i don’t know if i’m headlining or opening in the fall and i have no idea when i finally get to go overseas.

What have you done with dj john and who is your current DJ?

john and i stopped working together for realsies last december and i have no current dj. i will be working with all kinds of people. i am (yes recently) still talking with the likes of dj swamp and prince paul and diplo’s label showed interest in putting out the next jam. we have not decided what company will be putting it out, we’re gonna make a few songs and then find out. i’m gonna be surprised if we self release this round.

1. mcchris toys, where are they?

we are talking with some guys about getting started. we shot them a response to the deal they posed and we just have to take it from there. i really want to make toys, but even moreso i don’t wanan be stupid and waste my money when now’s maybe not the right time. ur gonna get bags and hats before toys. what i want to do is little mc usb flash drive keychains.

2. When about will we see the remix/b-sides/demos album online?

we are gonna try to get it online before i head out to the nw. although you guys have pretty much already done much of the work. we’ll have to surprise you with unreleased mixes.

3. Will we ever see just a mcchris Skit/Stand up album?

i think you’d see a christmas album before you saw that. skits will be a part of every album and outtakes will always find their way to my various webhosts. if u live in new york stay tuned for news on a live mcv where i test out new stuff like i did last summer. that will most likely happen in the fall (if i’m not touring.)

4. You said in three years you are going back to Williams Street to work on your project, can you share anything about your project/vision?

it’s called battle hi and it’s fully animated and three year’s is beginning to sound too close. i think about it everyday but it would require lots of dough and it may not happen until i’m rilly rich. in a perfect world rap will pay for the show. i have other cheap ideas that i can make but this is what i dream about everyday. it’s like 8mile meets dragon ball z meets harry potter meets kingdom hearts. and i’m not kidding. i wanna make something like the muppet show that the entire family can watch. we’ll see….

Also when it does happen, can I do a voice on the show? 

no but three people i intend to ask to be in the pilot are: Lawrence Parker, Frank Portman and Gary Grice.

“according to Lars, mc chris does change his pitch on the CDs to make it just a bit higher.”

true?

lars might be jokingly referring to my inhaling helium at the beginning of the track. we may try to help me hit the right notes or mix it a little. we may do all kinds of things to it, but i’ve never pitched it up. sometimes i get nervous and it can go higher, sometimes its an earlier recording. sometimes it’s just me performing it higher, but we don’t need help with the highness. we got that in spades.

Are you ever gonna come to Canada? yes i just ordered my passport before tour so i should get it at the end of the summer and canada will prolly be my first foreign country unless mexico gets really vocal all of sudden. i have got mexican fan mail (start ur joke engines) but nothing near what i get from canada. when i do go up i suggest you go, it will be just like when i started doing this winter of 2005 and that was craziness ie crowded and sold out.

In the episode of Sealab 2021 where “MC Chris” was introduced… How did that actually come about? i was pretty much the only person  on staff at 70-30 (they have like six guys making dingo these days.) and i had left all my friends and the ucb in nyc for the atl thinking adult swim was going to take off (and i might never have a job this cool ever again.) so i think they appreciated the dedication and the hard work and so they made a blatant reference to me and my career and recorded the actors without my knowing and then i heard matt play some of debbie screaming about her boobs and that’s how i found out and my favorite part was erik estrada saying, i hope he plays booties for breakfast. other points of interest: i drew pretty much the whole episode, including the scorpion (that i swore i saw in the athf movie) and the secret break room where cap gets trapped. i also came up with the flashback idea. the one that reveals cap’s childhood in the circus (like hawkeye.) it’s also a reference to a magnum pi episode where magnum wades water to please his father. in the flashback cap’s dad is watching magnum. the mc roadies that the crews become all wear bobapalooza shirts that adam reed designed. i used that fett logo for album one. also im crazy fat at the end of the episode. and that’s george lowe voice of space ghost as the ceo.

is there like a list that has all your songs those on your album and unreleased stuff? mdt took care of that i think.

Can you smell what the rock is cookin’? i secretly love rock movies. and i think it’s cuz i loved arnold movies. so when they passed each other in a club in one of the rock’s movies i was stoked. am i stoked about another scorpion king or his version of curly sue? nah so much.

What’s up with the “Super Mario Bros. Rap”?  It’s credited to mc chris in a lot of cases, but I’m pretty sure it’s got nothing to do with ya.  I dunno if you know or care whose it is.. but how do you feel being associated with others work, whether it be inferior or not? well when it’s benfit who i think may really be the best rapper of his kind, i’m honored, and the filesharing confusion only helps get the name out. i’m sure he hates it, but i’ve never spoken to him. wrote him a myspace and asked to do shows but no reply. anyway i can get the word out there is ok with me. my dignity’s taken enough hits that i can take it.

How about a limited vinyl release of the older albums? Will we ever see mc in vinyl? i really wanted to rerelease the old stuff on vinyl but i couldn’t get control of it hence my buying everything that has been pressed and selling it only at live shows. if i get crazy rich and can afford to buy john out then we will see old school vinyl. the new album will be on vinyl if i have any say on the matter.

Any tips on getting noticed as a nerdcore rapper? cable helps. tenacity is the best bet. not stopping is good. and disregarding the haters is key.

Whats the story behind Nate doing art for you? How did it all begin? nate came over to my booth at a con to tell me robert kirkman (walking dead) was a fan. i asked to see his stuff and pretty much asked him to draw for me forever. i always want to see what other artists would do (which is why i talk to david mack and tony moore) but nate’s pretty much artistic director for the rest of my days.  a cartoon with his involvement, well… i just cant imagine it not kicking ass. i can’t wait till im rich enough to pay him full time.

The anime shirts say “mc chris” in Japanese right? I was thinking of wearing it to work which is Honda and I really can’t be walking around not knowing what my shirt says! fuck you fuck face is the correct translation.

Was the song of the Aqua Teen movie recorded as a full track then cut off or was it just that snippet?  Also is there a certain email for someone we can bug the hell out of to release the full track of Please Come Visit Me Dawg? just a snippet. like i said in another thread i would like to redo it all and really put out a real mcpp album but we’ll see. i think it would be a no brainer on williams street records but they’ve got plans for quite a bit.

Yo, why weren’t you on DangerDOOM? Or at least the Occult Hymn EP? i cant be a part of everything adult swim, it would’ve made sense but sometimes as you know, adult swim doesn’t do what makes sense. i think williams street records is far more interested in underground hip hop than hip hop from their featured shows.

Are you mc? yes.

When will there be more shirts?  everythings sold out! monday i think. the shirts already arrived at indiemerchstore. there’s 750 of them (zombie, ninja and fett) so those three will not be sold out for some time.

how the hell do you become an mc chris intern? i will be taking applications in the fall and you prolly have to live in nyc.

sorry that took so long, on with round three!

WHICH IS AT THE TOP. AGAIN ASK QUESTIONS AT THE MCCHRIS.COM MESSAGE BOARD IN THE NEWS SECTION IN THE FAQ THREAD AND I WILL SERIOUSLY ANSWER THEM WITH TOTAL SERIOUSNESS.
