Hooray Capitalism! 30 October 2007 at 11:31 am by 712 views

I will now be dishing out some sweet, sweet adsense ads on my blog. They’re not that flashy, so it shouldn’t disturb most people, and if it ends up being a hassle, I’ll just remove them. I figure it’ll be a nice experiment to see what happens! :)

Updated both the live blog and the archive to the latest version and if you’re seeing this then everything went swell! :)

+ Nerdcore Rap Feud? By 26 October 2007 at 6:58 am 1,943 views 2 Comments

I was on MySpace today and I noticed a new blog post on Optimus Rhyme’s MySpace page. It was titled “Some songs write themselves…” and was about a new song called “MC Chipmunk”. Let’s look at the lyrics, shall we?

We met a little rapper that’s so damn cute.
He’s got these chubby little cheeks, stands three-foot-two.
We call him Chipmunk, cause his voice is squeaky too.
And we he said he smokes weed, dude he lied to you.
And he doesn’t guzzle Robitussin, doesn’t do most of the stuff he raps about,

Hmmm… I wonder who they’re talking about? Oh yeah, MC Chris. So, I know it’s normal in rap to dis other rappers, but come on… MC Chris doesn’t attack any other rappers in his music, and after his show he was just an awesome guy. I guess all I’m saying is, Nerdcore is still a young genre and I think the people in it need to stick together…

That’s typical for MC Chip. He’s a hypocritical little twit whose face flips.
I don’t trust him a bit. He’s not fit for this music.
First he’s not nerdcore, and now he tries to use it.

Oh, unless I guess you don’t consider MC Chris to be Nerdcore (funny, seems everyone else does).

+ Jess made a cake! By 21 October 2007 at 10:12 pm 656 views No Comments

Jess made her first ever fondant cake today! She spent all weekend making it to see if it was even possible. I think that this is pretty good for a first try:

Jessicake!

 

Jessicake 2!

She wants to make the cake for our wedding, and just needs a little practice so expect more cakes to show up on here as she makes them!

+ MC Chris @ The Waiting Room w/ The Family Radio By 19 October 2007 at 10:07 am 513 views No Comments

I was too wiped out by the time I got home last night to make my post, so I’m doin’ it this morning… that’s right, MC Chris rocks so rough I couldn’t blog.

So, the concert was scheduled to start at 9:00 PM, but we didn’t get started until 10:00 PM (the rumor floating around was that they had other bands that were supposed to play, but they didn’t show… I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s a good rumor). First up we had local Omaha boys “The Family Radio“… they were bad ass! First of all, their goal was to beat Final Fantasy VII before the end of their set… they didn’t accomplish their goal, but they were able to beat Jenova, and as they were cleaning up their set and getting ready for MC Chris they did manage to defeat Sephiroth. As far as their music goes, it was highly energetic and was just great… if they put their mind to it they could really go places (although they did say this was their last concert for a long time, so who knows what will happen). Check out some of the shots I took below.

This is how you know a show is gonna rock:

Squaresoft!
Final Fantasy!!
Sephi Sephi Sephiroth!

Now for the band:

The Family Radio

So after we were primed by the Family’s block rockin’ beats, it was time for our main course… oh FUCK, it’s goddamn MC Chris!

Oh fuck!

Unfortunately the MC is still recovering from his Hard Drive accidents and didn’t have all of his music loaded up on his Laptop, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t the best show ever! He opened with a great mix of the Mortal Combat theme and the Tiny Toons theme song (once you get it in your head, you can’t get it out) and followed up with most of his popular songs (Geek, Fette’s Vette, FTW, I Want Candy, etc). The audience participation was great… we learned some great moves such as “rap hands” and were ordered to do the robot and throw up gang signs, can’t beat that! Here’s a couple shots of the MC doin’ his thang:

Excellent! After his set he came down to the audience to shake hands and sign whatever we wanted. I got one of his last copies of Dungeon Master of Ceremonies (all sold out forevers now) and had him sign it. I also got a great shot with him… yeah, we be badass rebels, yo:

MC Chris + Me!

He promised he’d be back in the spring, so I look forward to that. Now I need to rest, because I’m running on just a few hours of sleep and am still sick… ugh! Peace out!
