NEW SONG: Braggadocio
. Please don’t write in with more accurate pronounciations of this word.

Yes! You can see Front perform two of his songs LIVE in the middle of the Emerald Rain Productions 10-year anniversary concert in Oakland on Weds. the 16th. Excited? Then attend! Details here.

Also! He’s trying to decide if he can afford to fly to Seattle for Songfight Live III. Maybe if a bunch of peoplesuddenly ponied up for the Valued Sucker Program…

And lastly! There’s another new fan art posted in the gallery. Use clicking, then eyeballs.

Front doesn’t mind complaining that his broken-ass leg is taking hella long to heal. Downtime is spent in front of mics. Stay tuned!

There is a nice piece of new fan art in the gallery. You’ve already seen all the other ones, right? Can you draw too?

We hear a rumor that Mouthy Magazine has published an interview.

Also! Front’s Elite Hax0r Squadron turns up various cool stuff when perusing the referrer logs. Like the worst review (and worst grade) Frontalot’s ever gotten.

It is a well known fact that rappers do not ski. Therefore, when you ask Front if his shattered tibial plateau (now chock full of steel plates and deck screws) was the result of some kind of snow sporting error, he will tell you firmly that it was not. Are you fronting, you’ll ask?

No, he will say.

Three of Front’s favorite internet musicians, Add, Frankie Big Face, and The JBB, have squared off in an album fight. Which is like a songfight, only more so. Purchase the 3-CD package while it lasts.

As the horrors of modern life unfold onscreen, you seek escape through dope rhyming and geeked out beats. Who doesn’t? Take a wander through the music section and see what diversions Front has in store. But beware the newest song, it’s sure to drag you right back to the now.

If, on the other hand, you just can’t get enough of what’s going on, check out Thurston Moore’s new site,protest-records.com. Front is featured on “Vol. 2” of their MP3 library.

One more thing! If you’ve ever once enjoyed a rap song, tap your paypal account or checkbook to help my man Clyde Stubblefield with his hospital bill.

The art of the protest song is not lost! “Special Delivery,” the very newest in new MC Frontalot tracks, is ready for you to download and pass around. Beat was by Ry Krisp but now it’s by Baddd Spellah. Lyrics are here. To those who love/like/tolerate Front solely on the basis of his humor content, we issue a warning: the new song is not especially funny.

And to those who think invading sovereign states totally rocks, or who think the last presidential election went well: you might even skip this one. Rest assured that our regularly scheduled barrage of over-ripe cleverisms recommences soon.

Front received shout-outs from the stage last night while attending the rousing Parts & Labor and Breaker Breaker gig in Santa Cruz, CA. The rock and roll world is sure to come abuzz with chatter over these stars-to-be. Which major label will stand triumphant amidst the settling dust of a fierce bidding war? We recommend buying their CDRs now, while the indie cred remains piping hot.

Please do not accuse this kid of being me. Or of being a kid. He is 27. Nerrrrrrrd!

Dom Mah
delivers his fan video for Front’s Yellow Lasers song! In typical fashion, we have made it totally difficult for you to view. It is an .avi encoded in DivX, which you can learn all about. Here are some windows codecs, here is a mac codec for qt. We cannot offer tech support; please consult your local power nerd!

If you do manage to download and view the file, you will be treated to a lot of footage of Dom and his girlfriend dancing around. It is extra cute.

Also, peace out to the WWN

In an unforgivable display of uncultured slobbishness, mc front was sighted nodding off mid-recital at yesterday evening’s performance of the SF Symphony.More attentive was he while attending the APE. Celebrities touched: six; Sam Henderson, Roberta Gregory, Craig Thompson,Keith Knight, and nerd-favored web luminaries David Rees and Chris Onstad. Ben reminds everyone to pay cash dollars at serializer.

Requests for remix access swirl in a great emaily ballet! Do they impend? Someone has made a whole video for Yellow Lasers. Maybe soon you’ll have a reason for clicking here all the time.

Happy New Year to you, o bootlicks of the Roman Calendar Hegemony!

There is a new Frontalot song, which nobody will like. It is called Floating Bridge, and it is inspired by a PBS special I saw once. It has not got a bass line or a chorus. Thankfully, it is short. Make your way to the bottom of the music page.

Smoke ‘em if you got 'em.

MC Frontalot wishes you a merry christmas if you like that sort of thing. If you instead object to that sort of thing, he wishes you a lump of coal. Containing diamonds!

Not much afoot in the world of nerdery. Go see the 9/11 documentary and laugh at the dwarf jokes. Listen to the accompanying beasties-inspired track. Rewind the extra-long dvd over and over to chuckle at the part where Saruman calls Gandalf a pot head.

Also, emma’s really going to funk up the site a little bit. Love her.
