The Great “Mr. Fancy Pants” Duel
Jan 24th
Doesn’t this totally remind you of the rap battle from 8 Mile? No?
The amazing beatboxer Kid Beyond (who I first heard at w00tstock back in the fall) did a damn good job going up against Jonathan Coulton and his ZenDrum, but in the end I’ve gotta give it to JoCo. I’m a sucker for Beyoncé.
The rest of the show, by the way, was also great. Although, Paul and Storm let me down a little, with only a 12 minute long version of The Captain’s Wife’s Lament. DEJECTED ARRR!!!
Chase Dat Gold: The LARP Rap
Jul 3rd
Yup, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Also, that ranger has some nice dual-wielding skills! I’m looking forward to seeing what other nerdy songs Vacant Manifesto have up their wizard sleeves.

Out on a school night!
May 28th
Last night I went to the Ben Harper and Relentless7 show at The Fillmore. Here’s my crappy video of their awesome cover of Queen’s Under Pressure:

The show was really great – as previously mentioned I’m not a big concert-goer these days, but I had a blast. Although, today my head feels like a blast went off inside of it (lightweight).
Anyhow, thanks to Jordan for the invite to the show! Their new album White Lies for Dark Times came out this month, so check it out.
