I like that "just a speck" line from Bill Nye. I'm inspired with another track idea for a new science-rap album... tentatively titled the Dirty Apes EP. Thanks!!! Awesome!

I have their album, and definitely suggest you check it out, also if you head over to band camp you can hear it in it's entirety as well!

]]> Comment on Velvet Acid Christ – Fun With Knives by Larso http://nerdlust.net/music/releases/velvet-acid-christ-fun-with-knives/comment-page-1/#comment-22 Larso Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:19:26 +0000 http://nerdlust.net/?p=123#comment-22 I think your write-up of the record is really interesting. One point stood out to me in particular. There's a separation between the "nerd" elements of the record (like the sci-fi samples etc) and the "violence" elements - I think this record makes a really compelling case for the fluidity between those two things. I often feel like there's willfull effort that nerds take on to underplay the violence and misanthropy that obviously pervades as an undercurrent in many elements of their shared culture. This record, on the other hand, puts all that stuff front and center. It's definitely a silly record, one that is easy to make fun of, but the way that it stacks sci-fi escapism right next to violent fantasies of lashing-out at the outside world is really striking. For me, it feels like an honest representation of an under-discussed aspect of nerd culture. I think your write-up of the record is really interesting. One point stood out to me in particular.

It's great that nerdcore has some more hip-hop focused artists, but that's ludicrous to say that certain artists moving this way in the genre is proof that it's "growing up and destined to go places". The artists you've listed such as Chris, Lars, and Front are known far and wide beyond the boundaries of the genre, and to say that they are "shackled" to it is utterly absurd. No one is "shackled" to the genre and I know that all nerdcore artists have the ability to broaden their musical skills. That being said, they don't need to conform to any (other) musical identity to do so. The focus of nerdcore in my opinion shouldn't be about conforming to any one standard or moving any one way, but instead to make music that's true to being a geek and is of a high recording/mixing standard. Musicians/rappers need to be creative and if they are, and dedicated, talented, and marketed properly then there will be fans (and with it, success in various degrees). I think that in itself would be more of a reason to say that nerdcore is "growing up" than any of this nonsense of the idea that moving the way of more mainstream hip-hop will make things better.
