Tom Merritt and I had the honor of having lord of Nerdcore rap, MC Frontalot and Internet music superstar, Jonathan Coulton on our most recent episode of FourCast. What a freaky-deeky fun time that was. Can’t speak for you guys, but these two represent all that is great and wonderful about creating something awesome in the world, and using the Internet as a vehicle to get there. Thus kicking up the FourCast music geek cred by a factor of 1000.
And of course these guys had much to say on the topic of our future as a human race, and the humor and intelligence that poured out of this meeting will stay with you like a vat of maturing synthetic meat products. (Listen and that last sentence will make sense.)
I had a really great time, and I recommend listening.
“I need you to buy my CD so I could buy food.” No, you don’t. You need to get a job so you can buy food. You know, like everyone else. I hated Nerdcore Rising.
Talk about a mixed. JoCo is one of the best people on the internet and MC Frontalot sucks.
Yikes. Kinda harsh. What’s your specific problem with Frontalot exactly?
It’s just his attempt at ironic lyrics. When someone screaming ‘Look at me, I’m making fun of myself!’ it’s difficult for me to say anything more than, ‘No, you’re dumb.’
I just don’t understand how people can like Nerdcore. I have always hated rap and Nerdcore is rap. The music sounds bad and saying that you swing your ‘arms like Ralph Macchio’ just doesn’t work for me. It isn’t funny.
I thought it was the best episode yet. Very much enjoyed it, had me smiling and laughing the entire time.
This was one o the best episodes yet. these two were so funny! I am really enjoying this show a lot!
I’ve pretty much enjoyed the previous episodes up to this one.
It seemed like everyone was busy trying to be funny and seeing who could come up with the nuttiest ideas.
By the time you got to the part of the show where this would be applicable, I was all nuttied out and turned the show off.
I’m hoping most of the problem was my just not being in the mood for the show when I listened to it, so I’m going to keep listening.
Overall I think you guys are putting a lot into the show and I want to give it every chance.
It was fun enough to carry the water, and I love me some Jonathan Coulton. The “callback round-up” was awesome.
This was easily the best episode yet. Nary a minute passed when I wasn’t smiling/laughing…
