Happy Recreational Explosions Day to you, celebrants of yankee antiauthoritarianism! Front will be enjoying a nice grilled meat product and bubbling alcohol drink on a roof in the Mission district of San Francisco. He hopes your own plans are similarly pleasant.

Nerdapalooza fast approaches! Front and band will be there to round out the Sunday night program. Such a collection of geeked out wonderments is rarely available to you, the concertgoing public. Take advantage.

And there's a nerdcore hip-hop night ready-brewed for you at San Diego Comic-Con: MC Lars, Random, ytcracker, and your own most frontingest MC... these forces gather and explode at the Casbah on Thursday the 22nd. Get your ticket right away.

The new single is overdue! We've been hard at work trying to wrestle a viable encoding of the video from the flaming wreckage of a data catastrophe. Yes, not having a high-enough resolution version of your new rap video is kind of a first world problem; the irony is lost on nobody. That will come, along with MP3 and even a remix kit, soon. Till then, the initial version remains available at SPIN.

There's a brand new video! It is for the brand new single. Neither of them are posted on frontalot.com today because Front's stuck in a part of England where they haven't invented uploading yet. So you'll have to make due with this SPIN exclusive hosting of the flash video version in the meantime. Oh, the song? First World Problem!

Oh, speaking of video: here's what Front's been up to in England: ruining Wheatus's hit single Teenage Dirtbag with an unnecessary rap breakdown every night. It usually goes kind of like this.

Front's inaugural UK tour is going peachily! The folks are kindly and enjoy tea (though more often they seem to enjoy the beer and scotch) and the countryside is charming as all get out. There are still plenty of UK dates in June, so if you're on that particular island, plan accordingly.

Our MC will take one little detour from the proper tour route for a freshly added Sunderland show on the 18th.
