Front gears up to take the karaoke rappin’ version of his act to ye olde United Kingdom for fourteen shows as he opens for Wheatus over the course of June. Get your tickets; they are available in exchange for "pounds!" If a (metric) buttload of nerdfolk come out to see him, it will bolster his ability to bring the whole band out for a full-service tour next time around. Consider it an investment.

The new album is distributed nonstop in his absence: physical+download or download-only are your top options. The first single has Mike Doughty singing Wil Wheaton’s credo. If that’s not an enticement, we know naught of enticements.

Things happening later in the summer, which will be on the gig calendar when we have time to make it so: Nerdapalooza and San Diego Comic-Con in late July; a September full to brimming with PAX and KoL Con and a Planned Parenthood 75th Anniversary Blowout in Kansas City and Fantastic Fest in Austin; a possible tour in October; Blak Lotus’s sex tape getting leaked (tentative).

Ma Front’s foot surgery went nicely; thanks for asking! She heals up rapidly and has Doggy Fresh to comfort her. Our blighted MC had a li’l surgery too, just to feel included. Don’t look at the photo. For serious, though. Don’t. No good can come of it.

Great Reviews Keep Coming!

Filed under: beefy — admin @ 4:00 am

This has been a pretty great couple of weeks my dear reader! Sooooo much love has been coming in for With Sprinkles that I am overwhelmed with both thoughts of success and my eventual downfall. You will be the death of me, my sweet, sweet Internet.

Z dug it [hipsterplease], Mr. Silvers is a fan [Wired GeekDad], and these people dug it too! King of the Nerds, GameMusic4All, and Nerd-News. Some of the tracks were also featured on the Mediocre Show as well as the GeekDad HipTrax, and I’ve done interviews with my pals at Seattle-Geekly as well as Radio Free Gamer (though it has not been posted on iTunes yet… I will keep you posted!) I’ve also been getting silly crazy love on the Twitter and it’s been incredible!

I’m sorry for not doing more shows you guys. I really want to. Honest. It’s just that irl is set to handcore difficulty and the Tri-Cities is just TOO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYWHERE!!! Sorry… that happens sometimes. The good news is that this won’t keep me from shows! I have at least one gig for sure I’ll be able to share in just a day or two and more coming this summer. mc chris, MC Lars, and ytcracker are coming to the El Corazon in Seattle June 1st and you would be a damn fool not to attend! I’m going to trek up there with the game store girl and our homies Kory and Joe and we will all give you hugs probably. Also this Saturday at the Blue Moon Tavern, Northwest’s own Death Star will have a CD release with fellow Nerdcore For Life superstar Ultraklystron! Stay tuned as shows get booked and keep buying the album so I can get to Nerdapalooza. For reals guys, the outlook on Beef in the FL is looking good. Keep up the strong work guys!

For those of you who are really desperate to lure me to Orlando with the hopes of butchering me so that you may obtain my spirit warrior, you can always make an donation to the Get Beefy to Nerdapalooza cause. Like any good sellout, I’m willing to fly cross country to be beaten so long as you’re willing to pay for it! Smiles times!

Ok, now a word about pre-orders… there are only about 5 left from the first printing. After the first print (which should come into tomorrow) sells out, all new orders will have to wait for the second printing. So if you want to make sure you have a copy of With Sprinkles in your hand ASAP be sure to pre-order now. If you plan on going to the chris, lars, yt show I can even hand deliver it. Now that’s service! If you’re the type that prefers their music in mp3 format, I’m please to announce that With Sprinkles is now on AmazonMP3 (itunes coming soon)

That is all for now. Thanks to everyone who has been loving the new album. That just makes me love you all the more!

Whew! Only one show left (Fri the 21st in Philly) and Front’s domestic tour is complete. It’s been a long and storied seven weeks. Crowds have been bigger and friendlier than ever, and the whole band thanks y’all for making this thing possible.

Next up: The UK! MC Frontalot will rap (karaoke style, alas) before each of these Wheatus performances in June. Let your favorite British person know!

There are a couple official videos for Zero Day tracks in the works. When will they emerge? One hopes to say hella soon but one is hesitant. Fine art must unfold at its leisure. In the meantime, why not make your own, as Sparemeister has done with his Council Of Loathing fan vid?

Facebook is the Hedgehog’s Dilemma

Filed under: Ultraklystron — admin @ 4:00 am
Ultraklystron

My aggressive aversion to facebook apps that want personal data assuredly obscures a section of reality from my vision. However, this section surely contains information about how others perceive me, and thus, in that sense, I am forbidden from knowing a part of myself as I am unwilling to share information about myself.

More pressingly, regardless of which path of action is taken, I will feel some sense of loss. Either I am to relinquish my privacy to a stranger, so that I may know what my friends and acquaintances think of me, or I am forbidden from knowing information about myself. Some might argue I could always ask my friends what they said in a given, but on facebook, such connections are not always as strong as friendship, and even that still requires some exchange on my part. It reveals more directly to those people that I want to know what they think of me.

And well, I do want to know; such concerns are natural to human beings. However, I don’t wish to sacrifice anything personal to know such things. See blog title.
