It’s a knee jerk reaction to the woman who tried to annihilate society.

evil evil evil.

@1: Here’s a few pics I snapped of MC Frontalot and Coulton singing together: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=mcfrontalot%20coulton&w=86326874%40N00&m=tags

One of my favorites of the MC: http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkphibre/1264747668/in/set-72157601743671789/

But a big turnoff for me (especially on “Thatcher”) is that the background music often sounds like the cheesy imitation hip-hop you hear on fake-rap novelty songs like “The Super Bowl Shuffle” or “Rappin’ Rodney.”

“Socks On” is definitely loads better than “Thatcher” musically, and maybe lyrically, and is probably about as close to actual hip-hop as the album gets.

And yeah, the skits are hilarious, especially the Wil Wheaton one. The world definitely needs more Shellfishcore hip-hop!

Back on topic – Frontalot is ok – quite dig some of his music, so might have to buy this. Still gotta see Nerdcore Rising, but I’m more interested in the documentary “Nerdcore For Life”, when that finally finishes the film festival circuit.

MC CHRIS FTW!!

Just saying zahl….

Gotta get it, though … not great flow, but great fun.

This guy’s an old student of mine from Berkeley High School! I loved this kid and now lookit this!

Guess I have to write to him–

@#15: Just like emo kids love to hear people sing about cutting themselves and country music fans like to hear people sing about beer and pickup trucks, us nerds like to hear songs about the things we love. Not all boingers are nerds, though, so it’s understandable that not everyone’s going to “get it”.

Me, I like the Front. He’s got some great lyrics, and I actually like his unique flow. I may just have to pick this up.

“Don’t retract unless you’re starting a move,
and don’t begin a motion unless you follow it through,
and don’t do anything I wouldn’t condone
except a dance named after a villainous crone.”

RTFL, next time ;P

Even though I dislike rap in general (with a handfull of specific exceptions, such as Frontalot’s own Pitch Dark), a Coulton collaberation would definately be worth checking it.

No, front is not Tupac, Eminem, or even Weird Al, he’s front. Some of the sounds and samples are going to sound abrasive to a lot of people–the first time I heard Love Supreme, I had no friggan clue what I was listening to, but it eventually became one of my most beloved albums. Front isn’t for everybody, not even every nerd, but there is nothing ‘bad’ about his tunes, just different.

Now let us all sing along: Here’s a new trick Mr. Knox, socks on chicks, chicks on fox…

But Scare Goats are real! My friend had them in his farm in Oregeon, WI. TELL THE PEOPLE!

Frontalot’s running a contest for the best fan-made video, too.

I’m with you. The ‘Do It’ samples are also painful.

This is the one case where I would have been more inclined to purchase the album before hearing the music. Enjoyed reading the lyrics and love that artwork, so thanks but no thanks.
