i am gonna announce the remix contest winner and put up a page of runner ups tomorrow night, well the runner up page make take a sec. i will definitely announce the winner tho tomorrow night!!! winner gets a castle made of moon beams, no lie!

i’ve already contacted a few people about making new music for me, which is what my contests are always secretly about (finding new talent to help me out!) for instance past contest winners were involved with mc chris is dead, and one of the nrrrd grrrl video contest guys will prolly do all my editing for me for the rest of my life if im lucky.

what are the next contests? they come in threefold. and i think i want all entrees by christmas.

1. tshirt design contest

2. lip synch or rap with mc on webcam contest. (any song, any album)

3. the floor is lave contest, play floor is lava on video and upload! (we might be asking for u to send dvd’s to JCT so he can edit all the vids together for one big mega vid)

and im also toying with the idea of having a best rapper in the universe contest, for eccentric weirdo dont have a genre rappers. the winner gets to play rapper x in battle hi!

contest mania!

also the store will open this week, inside of there are shirts and toys and even cd’s!

we are 99% done on my rhymes and the punk rock academy cover. just tweekin and they will be done. the mc chris is dead black version on cd and vinyl will be available soon!!!!

thanks to everyone that writes and says I WANNA GIVE U MONEY WHERE IS MERCH AT YO! thanks for being patient while i rejuvenate my store with awesomeness bunting and christmas and fireworks.

the day after thanksgiving last year we made 18k in ten days with our black friday tshirt sale. all shirts and cd’s ten clams. it’s a great time to get mc gifts for friends for xmas. this year we’re hoping to be even bigger and better, with longboards, sweat pants, panties, boxers, bootie shorts. anything we can think of.

A REALLY BIG SORRY GOES OUT TO ANYONE THAT WAS WAITING IN LINE AT ANIME FEST FOR ME SUNDAY MORNING. THEY TOLD ME IN AN EMAIL THAT IS WAS 3:30 AND I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT A TIME CHANGE. i did hang out at my table for bit, thanks to my new interns martha and kristen for doing a bang up job. hopefully one of them will help me send out posters to all the venues this week. i love interns! my christmas wish is to be able to pay them.

i think that it’s. this week: new store, blogs of mgs4 and lego batman and maybe a book report on this book im reading, the devil in the white city. i love historic crime!

oh i forgot to say i walked the bridge last night to the bowery ballroom and saw pinback and they had me come up on stage and rap the last song. and then i walked the bridge home. it was jungle weather. i held my coat in a variety of ways.

PLEASE REPLY IN BLOG OR I WILL SHOP LEGOS ON AMAZON DOT COM WHEN I SHOULD BE SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS AT THE JAVITZ CENTER!!! 300 BUCKS FOR THE SHRIEKING SHACK, NO WAYYYY.

Okay, so that was underhanded, even for me, MC “Nerdcore Died in a Blogging Accident” Tanuki.

I’ll make it up to you by showing off newly-minted Settle Steampunk rapper Professor Auerbach’s ginchy new single, Attack of the Steampunks.

The Show Last Night – A Half-Assed Review

Filed under: northwest nerdcore — @ 1:50 am

So, as I said before that I would, I went to the Abney Park show in Seattle last night. I had a wonderful time. I would say it was the second-best concert experience I have had so far, and that is saying a lot. I’ve seen FSR perform. Twice. I’ve been to a show with MC Lars, MC Frontalot, Optimus Rhyme, Beefy, and Dust Collector. I’ve seen Ultraklystron freestyle entirely new verses to his own songs. I’ve seen Rai – both rapping and singing; her own songs and covers. I’ve seen MC Gigahertz perform with the Stunt Junkies. These are all class-fucking-acts. It would take them all to beat out the show Abney Park put on last night.

I did miss the having an after-show podcast, though.

I got an early start, as I tend to do, getting downtown about 4 hours before the show, so I could walk about town, checking out the sights, getting some lunch and such. I was in full airship pirate costume, making the jaunt that much more entertaining.

Having taken in the scenery of Seattle, I made my way to the restaurant, where a group of my fellow Steampunk enthusiasts had agreed to meet up for dinner before the show. Never have I before seen such an assemblage of like-minded people engaged in pleasant conversation. It was invigorating. I somehow managed to find a Chinese dish I was able to eat, which was nothing short of a miracle.

What I’m getting at here is: spoons were bent.

We soon made our way over to the venue, which I was pleased to find was the very same venue Northwest Nerdcore was once offered weekly shows in (it didn’t happen because the agent setting it up was fired…I hope not because of us…). I like being in familiar places. I don’t claim to be sane.

The band was out on the dancefloor before the show, mingling with those fans who came to see them, pushing their merchandise, letting people touch their cool hairpieces. I got many compliments on my aviator helmet, and I got Captain Robert’s blessing to use an Abney Park song in the creation of a beat for my upcoming album. I met a few rather nice people, and lounged with them in the provided comfortable seating in the venue.

Finally, the show began.

The band performed their rather lengthy show in 3 distinct sets, having an intermission during which a sleight-of-hand man entertained the writhing, roiling Steampunk crowd, as well as a hilariously contrived encore, during which they played most any request from the audience – whether they knew how to play it or not. They even repeated a performance of “Airship Pirate” when they thought they heard somebody ask for it (for the record, I was shouting “Virus”…I’d never realized how similar the two can sound in a crowded nightclub^^). They played, during their time on the stage, every song they knew – whether or not they wrote it – and every one was performed as though no other song ever before has been, or afterward would be, performed on a stage. When they play a song, you believe it. It was very humbling, to be a performer witnessing such a performance.

Most importantly, though, was a realization I had, as I stood on a platform and looked out upon the massive sea of Steampunk, all dancing in disparate yet complimentary ways, rayguns glowing, bowlers having trouble remaining on heads, on stage a mystifying combination of ballet and The Robot being performed to a lilting tune, equal parts Goth and Waltz. I was not a Nerdcore rapper crossing over to a new musical and social landscape. This was not a foreign place. These people were my people. We are as they. Nerds, geeks, and weirdos to the last. It was like coming home. All that was different was the drapery. This wasn’t a distant relative. This was not even a twin. This Steampunk rock show…it was Nerdcore. And that made me smile.

I am still, about 24 hours later, tired from the excitement of the night, and so I will cut this missive short. But not before saying that many acts are not really worth seeing live. Abney Park is not one of these.

-Tanuki, long live the sea of dancing Steampunk

Nerdcore 64^3: I swear this isn’t a Mega64 blog

Filed under: Ultraklystron — @ 1:18 am

Yet again, a link to the video. Check at about 58 minutes and 45 secondd in. You’ll get to hear (amongst other things) Rocco says “(Karl’s) a nerdcore rapper; we love him,” and Garrett say “Opensource Lyricist? It’s f***in good!” Additionally, Nursehella gets love again as well, as Rocco refers to her as a “great nerdcore rapper” and a cool picture of Derrick and her is featured in the podcast.

On that tip, buy my music. “It’s f***in good!”

PS: Even MC Router gets a nod.

Gone Fishin’

Filed under: hipster please — @ 11:53 am

Hi, folks.

First, I just want to say thank you to everyone for your support during these very difficult last few days. Your thoughts and prayers and condolences have served to remind me that I am, in fact, a full-fledged member of this geeky musical community, and not just the idle observer I sometimes feel myself to be. You have helped me more than you could know, and certainly more than I could properly express. So while thank you doesn’t exactly cover the full scope of it, it’s all I’ve got. And I give it to you, my friends.

As I’ve previously mentioned, the family and I are heading down to the coast for the remainder of the week. It’s an annual pilgrimage that we make each fall, and, honestly, I find it fortuitous that it came along when it did, as I can surely use a little idle time.

While I don’t plan to be blogging whilst on vacation, I will be making a concerted effort to update my Twitter regularly, so if you want to know the manner of foolishness in which I am currently engaged feel free to check me out over there. Likewise, should you wanna holler at me, I’ll be auto-forwarding all my direct messages to my cell phone. So don’t be afraid to shoot me a tweet if you feel the urge.

Oh, the glory of the digital age!
