Hey gang, whatcha up to Saturday? I’ll tell ya what you’re up to: You’ll be at The Nectar in Fremont for Pinkapalooza 3 to see me, KGHB, and Robotronica! You can do these things with a smile because all of the proceeds are going to Child’s Play. That’s pretty awesome amirite? Peep the flier for deets!
You know what’s awesome that I’ve been meaning to post about for a long ass time? Schaffer The Darklord’s newest album MANSLAUGHTERER.
This album has lived in my car since it arrived in the mail. The Darklord persona is an extremely interesting one and it allows Schaffer to tackle a slew of different scenarios from a dark point of view. The bangers on the album, “The Bender” and “Goddamnit” are catchy, well written, and will never ever get radio play, and I’m almost 83% sure that doesn’t bother Schaffer one bit. There have been some nerdcore acts that have done some horror influenced tracks or even albums, but no one has come close to the quality found in Manslaughterer. Tracks like “Buckets of Blood” and “The Other Devil” are at some points terrifying and conjure the worst kind of 4chan memories, but they are so well laid out and performed that you can’t help to repeat and sing along. The Darklord has made Popeye scary. He has that kind of power. Schaffer is still all geek though. Why “Pixilated Vixen” isn’t playing all the time on G4 is beyond me (or is it? I haven’t had cable in well over year). And as a fellow performer, I can’t help but hold a special place in my heart for “Club Destroyer.” The third track on a nerd rap album is a punk song, and it’s awesome! Who woulda thunk? So clearly you should purchase this album post-haste. Have a lied to you yet? The answer is: nope. Also, I will give someone lots of stuff (money, handjobs, ect.) if they make an animated video for the epic “Battlefont.” Consider it.
I’m very sorry it’s taken me so long to post. As some know I went back to school to get that piece of paper Shael sang about in “Post-Collegiate Shuffle.” I had my last final of the semester yesterday so I have finally gained freedom! Woot! So I have filled this time by doing shows. Shows that you should attend. Sorry, no tour or anything like that, but if you’re in the Northwest like me, maybe we can hangout and I can rap your face off. Consider it.
Things are finally coming together for With Sprinkles, but won’t have it out before the end of the year. I blame it on that whole school thing I mentioned earlier. But I can tell you the CD will feature awesome people like MC Lars, Schaffer The Darklord, ytcracker, and bunches more. It’s so awesome it might make you cry. It’ll at least make your eyes sweat if you’re really manly and thus unable to cry. I’ll keep ya posted. <3
