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.

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:

(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.
