Front is back in Berkeley for a bit, sifting beats for the new album. He had a chance to see Alec Berlin (electrical guitarist par excellence) performing in the Green Day musical American Idiot at the local repertory, an experience he can recommend without caveat.

Ever wanted to make some nerdcore of your own? This is your most gigantic opportunity: a special all-nerdcore song fight hosted by the Nerdcore Rising: The Movie folks, and curated by MC Frontalot. Winner gets a free trip to come see Front rock a mic. Deadline is mid-october, so do not dilly-dally.

UPDATE! Vintage Vinyl in-store 9/26 is cancellated. Sorry, kids!

Recent news hyperlinks round up! Front plays KoL Con in AZ this weekend. Nerdcore Rising movie screenings abound; the distributor will gently bribe you to host your own. Sign up for Netflix and stream the movie right now. Front's new full-album download store is open. Front's song Origin Of Species just went up on Rock Band DLC. There's a new single from Final Boss, called Diseases Of Yore. And Front's bass player Bl4k Lotus has a new solo album, which is fresh.

Street dates! They are things with a funny phrase describing them! Are these romantic strolls through the street? Are they dates obtained on the street? Are we talking about the commerce surrounding an unnatural act with a street walker?

Sorry to disappoint. Take heart! This street date is a thousand times more awesome than prostitute sex. It is the street date of the Nerdcore Rising: The Movie fancy brilliant ultimate super-duper nationwide Digital Versatile Disc release day, which is today, and it's almost tomorrow already and we haven't mentioned it.

And on the topic of regrets: we apologize for how the frontalot.com news post got a little PG-13 there for a moment. Obviously you need no purring come-ons to understand that we're shilling for the most fantastic piece of cinema ever committed to screen. Your arousal is palpable already.

Consummate in homes, pubs, theaters, civic centers. Not just today ("street date" day!!), but in the days to come, nerds everywhere are hosting their own screenings. Throw one practically anywhere; the distributor will shower you with freebies and the people who you invite over will think you are some kind of cinema mogul.

If that all sounds too terribly social to you, we can have the mailman discretely deliver a copy, either one of your very own or one lent from the Netflix library. That particular lending library is worth signing up for, just for the streaming. You could be streaming Nerdcore Rising to your computron this very second.
