░░ Dear Front, ░░
░░ ░░
░░ First off we'd like to thank you for your album and for being a content ░░
░░ creator. If it wasn't for people like you, we, Scenesters, wouldn't ░░
░░ have any ways to get credibility by stealing someone respectable's art ░░
░░ form and claim notoriety over it. So cudos to you for that. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Secondly, we'd also like to give you some more props for taking the time░░
░░ to (somewhat) learn The Order Of Things: namely scene standards. By ░░
░░ properly filling in ID3 fields, following naming conversions(no special ░░
░░ chars/etc) and hell by ALSO writting in your OWN NFO you have saved us ░░
░░ most of the workload. Therefore we can leech more. So it's win/win: ░░
░░ your words are out while our leeches are in. That's awesome and we will░░
░░ forever love you for it. <3 ░░
░░ ░░
░░ However it's not all positive we're afraid. Indeed, as you didn't knew ░░
░░ our current mp3 ruleset was written by retail bigots. And what we mean ░░
░░ by this, Front, is that because you have chosen numerous different ░░
░░ versions of the same encoder, we cannot push your shits worldwide for ░░
░░ the kids to swip. Well, we can, but limitedly. Hence that lame _INT ░░
░░ tag. Sorry if that looks cheap but rest assure that as whorish as we ░░
░░ are we cannot possibly do best. Pushing your shit as an internal was ░░
░░ the only way we had if we wanted to promote your (sekxy?) arse/get ░░
░░ famous off your own fame. And we surely took that shot. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Indeed, if it wasn't for people living in a parallel reality, like the ░░
░░ music industry does, then your artistic work WOULDA been spread ░░
░░ worldwide and more efficiently without that cheap ass _INT tag. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Front, next time, use the same encoder version FOR ALL YOUR TRACKS! ░░
░░ Then it'll be "release-able". But it's gotta be THE SAME F'N STUPID ░░
░░ ENCODER/VERSION OR ELSE IT DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE #$@%@%!$!$!, so says ░░
░░ the bigots! Pretty stupid, uh? Welp, just so you know, we do NOT ░░
░░ endorse those rules therefore we won't apologize for those ░░
░░ retarded choices. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Lastly, being living legends doesn't entitle us to just complain and do ░░
░░ nothing about it. Hellll no Front! Rest assure that the guys who are ░░
░░ handling your ePromotion for this release (hence us) DO have a much ░░
░░ wider, and brighter, view of what's up! In other words, we have taken ░░
░░ the liberty to add "our" PROPOSED ruleset that should accomodate ░░
░░ commercialy available music coming formatted like your's was, for ░░
░░ several years to come. Not just for a couple of seasons. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ In closing Front, we sincerely hope that you'll get to read this one day░░
░░ and by the time that you do then we'd like to extend a massive salute, ░░
░░ from us to you, from your **TRUE** PSEUDO-friends in the Underground. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ With love, ░░

░░ FAVORITISM ░░
░░ ░░
░░ . ░░
░░ Twenty tip top tracks by MC Frontalot ░░
░░ Compiled for the Humble Music Bundle I ░░
░░ . ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Hi kids! It's your old pal Front here. Thanks for swiping this 'best of'░░
░░ album off the internet and/or donating big dollars to the humble bundle ░░
░░ folks / me / charities in the process. This is the first time I've ever ░░
░░ tried to make a mix tape of my own stuff. If you like LINER NOTES then ░░
░░ get the fuck ready because I am about to type lots of words about why I ░░
░░ chose these particular twenty tracks. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ First, I should point out that this is kind of a mish-mash of my own ░░
░░ favorite stuff and stuff that seems to have become fan favorites over ░░
░░ the years. I've left out several of the real crowd-pleasers in the cases░░
░░ where my album versions have what I consider to be major defects (Pitch ░░
░░ Dark's got at least 8 bars too much rapping in the second verse, Yellow ░░
░░ Lasers without the Paul Simon sample never really worked out). I also ░░
░░ left out some of my own pet faves because they're dated or ░░
░░ uncharacteristic or I don't know if anyone else has ever enjoyed them (I░░
░░ Heart Fags and Special Delivery are each about a president who's been ░░
░░ gone for years, In Arrears is too dreamy, Listen Close and A Very ░░
░░ Unlikely Occurrence are too personal). So we're already wallowing in ░░
░░ compromise and disappointment. It's just like hanging out with MC ░░
░░ Frontalot in real life! ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I think, though, that if you haven't heard my stuff before, and you ░░
░░ happen to have an hour and eighteen minutes free to check me out, this ░░
░░ is the set of tracks that will show you whether you're going to be a fan░░
░░ or a hater. And if you've got a passing familiarity already, I hope you ░░
░░ find a lot of ground in here that you otherwise would not have had the ░░
░░ impetus to explore. My five albums (2005-2011) are each equally ░░
░░ represented. You'll notice my rapping and production are charting all ░░
░░ over the aptitude scale as you hop forwards and backwards through time. ░░
░░ Sorry about that! It is the sad fact of releasing material to the public░░
░░ that once you've let anything out there, you've set the form that it's ░░
░░ going to have forever. Still kind of want to re-record Yellow Lasers, ░░
░░ though. ░░

░░ 1. ░░
░░ Tongue-Clucking Grammarian ░░
░░ Album: Final Boss (2008). Lyric by Damian Hess. Music by Damian Hess, ░░
░░ Gaby Alter, and David T. Cheong. Drum programming: Baddd Spellah. ░░
░░ Keyboards: Gm7 and Baddd Spellah. Scratching: DJ Snyder. Ian Shoales ░░
░░ appears courtesy of DuckΓÇÖs Breath Mystery Theater. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The idea to do this song was in my head from when I was probably twelve ░░
░░ or thirteen years old. It came out of my favorite Ian Shoales routine, ░░
░░ "Hearts On Bumpers," which begins "I'm not one of those tongue-clucking ░░
░░ grammarians who leaps on split infinitives and misplaced modifiers like ░░
░░ a mongoose on a cobra. I don't even read much." He goes on to explain ░░
░░ what he does not like about bumper sticker grammar and symbol/word ░░
░░ swapping. It's a little like the kind of rant certain old-timers will ░░
░░ launch into when exposed to text messaging abbreviation and emoticons, ░░
░░ but from way before those things existed. Anyway, I wanted Snyder to cut░░
░░ that routine up at the front of this track but I could not get my hands ░░
░░ on a copy (oh how the treasures of youth prove ephemeral), so I had to ░░
░░ settle for one of Ian's ten thousand other awesome verbal snippets. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ This is one of Spellah's most writhingly propulsive percussion ░░
░░ arrangements and I love Gm7's filthy organ accompaniment. It's one of ░░
░░ the few numbers I've ever written with proper crowd participation ░░
░░ (you're supposed to wag your finger at me while you chant "tut, tut") ░░
░░ and we've started maybe two hundred live shows with this song. It's a ░░
░░ keeper. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The lyric treads dangerously close to being a list song (more on that ░░
░░ later) but I feel like it has a couple things going for it. First, there░░
░░ were not any raps about grammar out there (sorry, Schaffer, your song ░░
░░ about usage doesn't quite count). Second, it is as much about the ░░
░░ attitude of the grammarian as it is about grammar: elegant communication░░
░░ and its appreciation are a couple of things that I am glad to be so ░░
░░ snooty about. I mean, I'm snooty about lots of shit. But in most cases ░░
░░ that makes me ashamed of myself. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ 2. ░░
░░ Charisma Potion ░░
░░ Album: Zero Day (2010). Charisma Potion. Lyric by Damian Hess. Music by ░░
░░ Damian Hess, Gaby Alter, and David T. Cheong. Backing vocal: Kimmy ░░
░░ Gatewood. Keyboards: Gm7. Drum programming, additional keyboards: Baddd ░░
░░ Spellah. Drums: The Categorical Imperative. Syllable emphasis skeptic: ░░
░░ Blak Lotus. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Speaking of being snooty about words, most well-educated folks will ░░
░░ think I've got the wrong version of "attribute" in the chorus of this ░░
░░ song. This didn't even occur to me until after I'd recorded it... I knew░░
░░ what I meant, I knew I was singing "at" and not "uh" in the first ░░
░░ syllable. But of course if I twist the scansion hard enough to make it ░░
░░ pleasing musically, it actually BECOMES the other word. Oops! Haw haw. ░░
░░ The little skit at the end with Brandon tricks you into thinking I did ░░

░░ The idea of the song is pretty simple: I'm having an SM relationship ░░

░░ When I wrote this song, I think LiveJournal was still ruling the roost. ░░
░░ Or maybe Blogger had gotten big. We definitely had not gotten to the ░░
░░ point where the pros were all using their own Wordpress installations ░░
░░ and the general public had jumped ship to Facebook. So "blog" was still ░░
░░ a word that meant "my personal diary, except on internet, and you should░░
░░ definitely read about what I had for lunch all week!" If anything, rank ░░
░░ and file internet folks have become MORE effusive about lunch and thus ░░
░░ MORE boring and stupid than they were in 2006. But it's all mixed ░░
░░ together in feeds. You never have to look at, like, one person's Twitter░░
░░ history by itself. And if you find a Tumblr about lunch, you're probably░░
░░ there because you're REALLY INTERESTED IN LUNCH, not because your aunt ░░
░░ made you feel bad about how you don't keep up with her life. By which ░░
░░ she means blog. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I'm permanently thankful to Whoremoans for taking my request that he ░░
░░ portray The Shitty Blogger In Question and adding a little bit of ░░
░░ politics to it. My idea of a villain whose only evil is banality would ░░
░░ not have held up as well the hatey right-winger that we get a peek at ░░
░░ (and who, it turns out, is the main kind of personal blogger still ░░
░░ operating IRL in 2012). ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Sturgis created this drum part by accident. He was goofing around and ░░
░░ making me laugh through the glass between the studio and the engineering░░

░░ ░░
░░ This one's a list song, no question. Which means I had an idea and ░░
░░ didn't really develop it any further than stacking examples that fit the░░
░░ idea. WORK HARDER FOR YOUR DINNER, RAPPER! I guess beyond the list we've░░
░░ got the notions that porn addiction exists, that internet porn is a ░░
░░ gigantic departure from previous porn media (both in ease of access and ░░
░░ transgressiveness of content), and that in some scenario I would steal a░░
░░ drive from work after getting fired for jerking it in the office. But ░░
░░ these notions are not so revelatory. If you wonder exactly how far I'm ░░
░░ going to go with the list, maybe the barest element of suspense will ░░
░░ manifest. Or maybe you can use this song as a purity test on potential ░░
░░ romantic partners. You can tell, by watching someone's face while they ░░
░░ listen, which porns they are and aren't entirely familiar with. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I put this in because I love Doc Pop's circuit-bent thunder grind, and ░░
░░ because I feel like my chorus melody came out okay, and because it is ░░
░░ funny without having any punchlines (other than the porn title Nuns In ░░

░░ ░░
░░ I was hanging out with a kid at a con in 2006 or 2007 and he was trying ░░
░░ to explain to me about otaku. I was not and am not a huge anime guy. I ░░
░░ will always love Akira and the Miyazaki movies, and I'll watch old ░░
░░ Robotech or FLCL or Cowboy Bebop if it's on, and let's be honest, I've ░░
░░ seen more than a few hentai videos (on VHS, so suck it, ░░
░░ whippersnappers). But compared to my friends who devote entire rooms to ░░
░░ their import media collections, I don't know my anime ass from an anime ░░
░░ hole in the ground. And my ignorance of Japanese culture pretty much ░░
░░ just unfurls from there. So this kid Rafi was explaining the difference ░░
░░ between otaku and nerd, and I was listening intently. He thought that ░░
░░ the main thing was that the nerd identity in the USA has a pride (or at ░░
░░ least solidarity) movement attached, while in Japan it remains ░░
░░ unutterably shameful to be an otaku. That sounded like an idea worth ░░
░░ exploring. Was there room to launch an outreach program to our less ░░
░░ advantaged dork brethren abroad? I told Jason Scott about my plan to ░░
░░ write about otaku shame and he immediately burned me eight DVDs of ░░
░░ Densha Otoko ("Train Nerd" is my inexpert translation), about a guy who ░░
░░ saves a lady on the subway and then rescues all his chat board buddies ░░
░░ from despair by posting about going on dates with her. I watched it ░░
░░ straight through, then wrote the whole song in a burst. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I still don't understand anything about Japanese culture, but Rai ░░
░░ Kamishiro did a badass job helping me pretend like I do. I also quite ░░
░░ like the music on this one. It is one of the finest recordings I ever ░░

░░ Fuck this song. I am thankful that people like it, and Jesse and Hawking░░

░░ My singing on the album track is not much better, so it's a good thing ░░
░░ Blak Lotus (who was a member of our university's MOST prestigious a ░░

░░ Damian Hess, Gaby Alter, and David T. Cheong. Chorus vocal: Sam Bigelow.░░
░░ Keyboards: Gm7. Drums: The Sturgenius. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I've always thought that every nerd I know operates somewhere on a ░░
░░ spectrum between not quite having Asperger's Syndrome and TOTALLY HAVING░░
░░ ASPERGER'S SYNDROME. I'm no exception. Social cues and politeness have ░░
░░ always been things I have to grasp intellectually and then devote some ░░
░░ part of my attention to, as opposed to natural courses of interaction ░░
░░ that I can just feel my way through. And the whole idea of managing and ░░
░░ weighing the comfort of those around me took a lot of years to ░░
░░ internalize. Even now, it kind of stresses me out. It is just too much ░░
░░ at odds with what would be (in a world without emotions) the optimal way░░
░░ to reach goals. In my case the issue is probably just that I'm an ░░
░░ asshole. But I've met folks who have it way worse than I do. And the ░░
░░ folks I've met who actually suffer from Asperger's have got it ROUGH. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ There's a kid who wandered up to my booth at PAX in 2005, ignored the ░░
░░ sizable line, didn't say hi, and started rummaging through all the ░░
░░ merch. He wanted to know if I had any free stuff (I didn't). He saw a ░░
░░ laminated sheet describing my "merch purchasing RPG" in which you could ░░
░░ buy anything and then roll a d20 for some freebies. He REALLY wanted to ░░
░░ roll. Frustrated by the ruleset, he bought some stickers and then gave ░░
░░ it a shot. His finger went directly from digging into his nose to ░░
░░ reaching for the die -- "Other hand!" I told him. He didn't win, but he ░░
░░ came back every year, always cutting the line. After the Secrets album ░░
░░ had been out for a while, he marched up kind of excited. "You have a ░░
░░ song called You've Got Asperger's," he said. "Yeah!" I replied. "I'VE ░░
░░ got Asperger's," he said. "I KNOW," I said, "that song is kind of about ░░
░░ you!" It's not about him, really. I don't know him very well. It's a ░░
░░ story about how I imagine it might have been for him when he was in ░░
░░ fifth or sixth grade. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The trick of the song is that if you don't have Asperger's, you latch ░░
░░ onto the emotional tone of the chorus, which sounds like it is mocking ░░
░░ Aspies (Sam did a great job treading the line between comedy and soul ░░
░░ when he sang it), and if you DO have Asperger's, you ignore that shit ░░
░░ and parse the verses, which paint what I hope is a sympathetic portrait ░░
░░ of a boy who can't connect with the girl he likes because her hair ░░
░░ decorations are too distracting. And I will put this song on my ░░
░░ favorites list forever just because Sturgis's drumming is so fantastic. ░░

░░ This is another stupid list song, but I try to save it in the third ░░
░░ verse by pointing out that plenty of these quaint old ailments remain ░░
░░ totally life-threatening in less affluent parts of the world. A little ░░
░░ taste of politics saves anything from being entirely frivolous. That's a░░
░░ tip. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I had met Jonathan at PAX and asked him if he'd like to do this. We took░░
░░ care of it over email and FTP, and I didn't know what he was going to do░░
░░ with the chorus until he delivered it. He absolutely nailed it, of ░░
░░ course. He's Jonathan Coulton. His every waking breath is an epic win. ░░
░░ On tour, we performed this for years with a five-voice harmonizing unit ░░

░░ Keyboards: Gaby Alter and Baddd Spellah. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I feel like this song was directly inspired by Hard Knock Life, because ░░
░░ I remember hearing that and thinking that, oh, right, a children's song ░░
░░ contrasting with some hard rapping, that works perfectly, and, oh again,░░
░░ most children's music is in the public domain (not that the soundtrack ░░
░░ to Annie is in the public domain, but you get my drift). I was writing ░░
░░ for the Nerdcore Rising album and banging my head against how hard it ░░
░░ was to get rid of all the samples from my existing songs. I wanted to ░░
░░ use samples SO BADLY. So for this track, which I was assembling from ░░
░░ scratch for the CD, reworking a public domain lyric felt a little bit ░░
░░ like sampling. Or as close as I was going to get. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ A couple things give this track staying power in my esteem. It is one of░░
░░ Spellah's most slamming drum patterns ever, and I still want to get up ░░
░░ and move when I hear it. Gm7's string patch on the old JV-1010 sounds ░░
░░ like a million bucks, as does his faux banjo performance. And although ░░
░░ it's still true that I was, at 31 in 2005, too old to be starting a ░░
░░ professional rap career, the sentiment has grown exponentially more ░░
░░ resonant in the years since. Now when I sing the "thirty-year-old man ░░
░░ belly" line onstage, all I can think about is how I'm going to have to ░░
░░ change that to 40 pretty soon. Oof. ░░

░░ from riding in cars in the late 70s. Carpenters, maybe? I don't know. In░░

░░ Here's another fucking list song. Let's not talk about that. ░░

░░ (lead vocalist of the ONLY 90s alt-rock hitmakers to name their band ░░
░░ after a Monty Python bit)(that's Toad The Wet Sprocket, whipersnappers) ░░
░░ had listed MC Frontalot in the little section where you type all the ░░

░░ say hi. He put me on the guest list when he came through town, and I got░░
░░ to see him cover a little bit of Braggadacio during his set. This ░░
░░ remains a particularly cool moment in my life. He kindly agreed to do a ░░
░░ chorus on the Final Boss record, and I sent him a lyric idea. He ░░
░░ recorded that one and one of his own devising, so I suddenly had two ░░
░░ choruses for one song. Gm7 (who knows better than I how to put songs ░░
░░ together) begged me to use one as the bridge and one as a chorus proper,░░
░░ but I couldn't get satisfied with that and hacked together this ░░
░░ alternating chorus version about two days before our mastering deadline.░░
░░ I'm glad I did, because I think it is not quite as annoying as Gm7 ░░
░░ thought it would be, and it is definitely off-kilter and a little ░░
░░ surprising to the ear. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I love this kind of start-and-stop feel in a hip-hop beat. It is a weird░░
░░ frankensteining of what Sturgis played and Spellah's augmentation. It ░░
░░ lands harder than anything else on Final Boss. Big thanks to Jeffrey ░░

░░ This one's a sci-fi story that is secretly a political song. I do not ░░
░░ like how even when we elect the most liberal commander in chief on the ░░
░░ ballot, we can't go eight months without starting a new war in the ░░
░░ middle east. I do not like how we continue to prop up dictators when ░░

░░ they were always on our shit list and bomb them to death. I do not like ░░
░░ how we've decided that it's okay to kill villagers in far-away places ░░
░░ with our flying sky robots. I do not like various things about our ░░
░░ foreign policy! But if the Terminator movies (and their more badass ░░
░░ ripoffs like Hardware) have taught us anything, it's that FLYING SKY ░░
░░ ROBOTS ARE PROBABLY A BAD IDEA. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The cute thing in this story, of course, is that the military is ░░
░░ panicking about losing control of the machines because they think that ░░
░░ this means all the missiles are going to launch, when actually the newly░░
░░ sentient master control has decided to become a pacifist, which is MUCH ░░
░░ WORSE (for military people)(but probably pretty awesome for the rest of ░░
░░ us). ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I tried to sing this chorus part but couldn't figure out how it was ░░

░░ Chorus vocal: Jessica Neighbor. Programming: Baddd Spellah. Organ: Gm7. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ This beat originally came from Baddd Spellah with a stock Reason guitar ░░
░░ sample in it, which I didn't want to use, because stock samples are for ░░
░░ suckas. Fortunately, guitar genius Alec Berlin had a free evening, and ░░
░░ he used his slide steel to replace the sample with something a hundred ░░
░░ times more awesome. Jessica's earnest chorus treatment manages to be ░░
░░ soulful and backwoods at the same time, and nicely hides my lower ░░
░░ harmony's defective tone and pitch. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ So-called Intelligent Design pisses me off, as it pisses off most nerd ░░
░░ folk. It doesn't bother me that some people want to believe that they ░░
░░ came from mythical origins, and if ID were simply positing that God ░░
░░ invented chemistry and physics and then chilled out while the universe ░░
░░ and this planet in particular took it from there, I'd think of it as ░░
░░ kind of a pleasing upgrade to the Old Testament creation story. But of ░░
░░ course that's not what ID is. ID is an organized, systematic program of ░░
░░ lies which seeks to trick people of faith into imagining that some ░░
░░ version of science is speaking to their hearts. It is a weapon in a ░░
░░ cultural war, in which powerful people would like to maintain their ░░
░░ control over credulous people by convincing them that evolution is ░░
░░ controversial and that rigorous research would somehow point to the ░░
░░ involvement of a higher power. I'm all for faith and mystery. But can't ░░
░░ we ascribe the things we ACTUALLY don't understand to God? Let God be in░░
░░ charge of time, gravity, and magnets. And when we figure those out, he ░░
░░ or she can be in charge of dark matter and anti-boson particles, or ░░
░░ whatever the fuck. Stop trying to destroy knowledge just so that your ░░
░░ flock is easier to herd! It's anti-human and it's gross. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ That said, the people at the top who push ID are my targets in this ░░
░░ song, and not the flock itself. By the time you grow into an adult ░░
░░ churchgoer, I feel like most of your beliefs aren't your fault any more.░░
░░ You grew up with them, you built them into who you are, and you're stuck░░
░░ with them. If they are not beliefs that are compatible with the modern ░░
░░ world, I feel sympathy. That must be tough. It must be challenging to ░░
░░ raise kids who are more interested in the scientific method than in the ░░
░░ hand of God, and have those kids come home and report that their biology░░
░░ teacher agrees with them about how dumb you are. I understand why those ░░
░░ parents are hostile toward science. But I do not have any sympathy when ░░
░░ they let themselves get leveraged by this country's right wing and are ░░
░░ suddenly trying to deprive everyone else's kids of a decent education. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Anyway, my sympathy with and interest in what might make Reverend ░░
░░ Aloud's congregants latch so fiercely onto his message definitely found ░░
░░ its way into the lyric. Which is why there's a five-zillion-post youtube░░
░░ thread of people arguing over whether this song is satirical or earnest.░░
░░ To me, that very confusion is proof of a successful satire. But since ░░
░░ it's a youtube argument, neither side ends up looking very good. Don't ░░

░░ still realize that you're blessed to have been born in a society wealthy░░
░░ enough to provide root canals. In some parts of the world, your jaw just░░
░░ rots off. ░░

░░ Some teenager recorded a version the next year, which is basically a ░░
░░ remake of my chorus with straight-up list song verses. And he got fifty ░░
░░ times as many views on his version, so go figure. ░░

░░ I'll Form The Head ░░
░░ Album: Solved (2011). Lyric by Damian Hess, Beau Fa'asamala, and Joshua ░░
░░ Watson. Music by Damian Hess, Gaby Alter, and David T. Cheong. Rapping: ░░
░░ MCF, ZeaLouS1, and Dr. Awkward. Drums: The Sturgenius. Keyboard: Gm7. ░░

░░ I was backstage on tour and I have a pretty strong memory of Schaffer ░░
░░ the Darklord saying to me, "Hey! You should make a song called I'll Form░░
░░ The Head." He says he has no memory of that, which is awesome, because ░░
░░ now he can't sue me for royalties. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Zealous and Awk are amazing rappers, the kind of kids who make me proud ░░
░░ that nerdcore is an actual thing instead of just a dumb word I write on ░░
░░ my press releases. I was glad to feature them on this song. Plus it has ░░
░░ a call and response section at the end of the chorus, which I almost ░░
░░ never remember to include in songs, even though you should pretty much ░░
░░ have one in every rap track. ░░

░░ A Little Bit Broad ░░
░░ Album: Zero Day (2010). Lyric by Damian Hess. Music by Damian Hess, Gaby░░
░░ Alter, and David T. Cheong. Chorus vocal: Ken Flagg. Keyboards: Gm7. ░░
░░ Drum programming, additional keyboards: Baddd Spellah. Guitar: Alec ░░
░░ Berlin. Scratching: Daniel Wilkes. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ This is the one that seeks to explain and defend nerdcore, as a concept,░░
░░ as a movement, as a thing that might fail to be fully either of those ░░
░░ things but is still worth putting in your ear holes. It was too long, ░░
░░ but we solved that by giving the first half verse to Snyder to turn into░░
░░ a scratch routine. He totally disassembled my rhythmic intent there, ░░
░░ which was hard for me to roll with, but listening to it now, it makes ░░
░░ the whole song work much better than it would have. I love Alec's ░░
░░ strangled-to-death guitar hook and Ken's mod rock singing. Mostly I ░░
░░ leave the raps that are about rapping to other, more capable rappers. So░░
░░ when I do one, I try to make it count. ░░

░░ Secrets From The Future ░░
░░ Album: Secrets From The Future (2007). Lyric by Damian Hess. Music by ░░
░░ Damian Hess, Gaby Alter, and David T. Cheong. Backing vocal: Ganda ░░
░░ Suthivarakom. Drum programming: Baddd Spellah. Keyboards: Gm7. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I knew I wanted to do a track about cryptography, just because it's a ░░
░░ fascinating discipline with a rich and swashbuckling history. But I ░░
░░ needed a conceptual hook in order to -- you guessed it -- keep it from ░░
░░ becoming a list song. The thing that caught my imagination was the fact ░░
░░ that any brute-force-vulnerable cipher grows increasingly worthless as ░░
░░ computing power expands over time. And over that same time, the sheer ░░
░░ volume of private data that humans commit to media multiplies. So, in ░░
░░ the far future, you might have your life confessions echoing through ░░
░░ some kind of limitless cloud storage, but nobody's going to bother to ░░
░░ pick them out from the trillions of terabytes of other dead people's ░░
░░ equally private flotsam. Unless! Unless the lock on the diary is in and ░░
░░ of itself compelling, perhaps by presenting a challenging decryption ░░
░░ puzzle. So you could make yourself immortal by hiding your shit really ░░
░░ carefully, even though the hiding would fail, or rather, BECAUSE the ░░
░░ hiding would fail. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Also I want to point out that at the end of the third verse, secrets and░░
░░ calculations are having a one-night stand, and the computer is the one ░░
░░ that gets up and leaves and never calls again. Or maybe it will! Nobody ░░
░░ knows the future, now. Be patient. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Ganda is an old friend of mine and Gm7's from our Emerald Rain ░░
░░ Production rock opera theater company days. Her singing is always ░░
░░ brilliant, and she shines through this even though I was trying to get ░░
░░ her to do a Portishead rip-off. Gm7's synth hook reminds me of a little ░░
░░ analog toy music box churning uncertainly forward, and I like it more ░░
░░ than almost anything else he's every played for me. We used to do this ░░
░░ in concert but I always saw people yawning by the third verse, and I was░░
░░ too vain to cut the song down to a more reasonable length. I am glad ░░
░░ that the album recording came out just right. I will at some point put ░░
░░ the MP3 through the absurd series of encryptions described in the first ░░
░░ verse, so that future people will have some reason to crack it open and ░░
░░ listen to it. ░░
