Am I the last person to have heard MC Frontalot's song "It is pitch dark"? My vote for best vintage computer-themed song video. Bill
The video is filmed in Jason Scott's basement IIRC. Great song! Play it all the time when setting up / tearing down the main talk room @ VCF East :-) MC Frontalot had a song called The Penny Arcade Theme which appeared on the In the Groove dance arcade soundtrack. It name drops NeXTStation and Tandy which was pretty odd for the time. The main chorus is the load string from the Commodore 64! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4ETjxuHqlc Might of what started his thing. More Frontalot favs: Zero day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjigODNy3jk First world problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3w1_E1V46M Wordburglar: Rhyme O'Clock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l857fq_tqOs Croque Monsieur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQcoc28ZhRI More OrLes: Nerd Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZihf9B7tpU ytcracker: Warez loader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zvGRNu08B4 bitcoin baron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS37JKYc-gA (Not a bitcoin fan, but nice song) Ohm-i: Tabs (in my browser): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n241TvVUe4Y Seen all them live except Wordburglar. MC Frontalot with a live band at Nekocon was really good. Jesse Dangerously and the whole Backburner group are really good, but Jesse Dangerously hasn't put out much in a while. Not sure what is going on up there in Canada but lots of good nerd rapper guys. Always thought the lyrics of this song were ingenious, but the recording or the mix just never did the song justice: Obey the Moderator, Optimus Rhyme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTLwiccIOxI (Might resonate with the people that run the VCF Fed forum :-) Also don't forget OpenBSD releases a song or songs with every OS release, which is pretty damn odd. - Ethan
