We have been vastly enjoying some nerdcore on nights that just seem to be appropriate.  MC Lars and YTCracker have done it again with a song that finds a home in the BoL mindset.  I feel like we haven’t had enough zombie posts!  Bring on the Undead and I guess the semi-Undead too!  (Oh! And as an added bonus, BoL has been kicking ass on Left 4 Dead recently!  Anyone up for a campaign?)

Oh, yeah btw…Press the little thingy below that says Play! and enjoy the music!  (thanks to etruscan for spending one or two gray hairs on getting this to work for me, xoxo!)

Play!

From his myspace music page as part of his bio:   mclars

“MC Lars is a member of what he dubs the “iGeneration,” a group born and raised in the time of the Ninja Turtles, cassette tapes and new wave music, who now live in the age of Gossip Girls, iPhones and screamo bands. These are the kids who have grown up using the Internet as a part of their every day life. They can conveniently carry 30,000 songs in their pocket, but are faced with the glooming fact that the world’s oil supply and Social Security will both run out in their lifetime. MC Lars is the hero of this new generation, addressing their thoughts and every day struggles in his music.”

In a fit of hysterical modesty, Gestalt has yet to post his latest filmic endeavor (yes, yes. I know. But I like the way it sounds). So, without further ado:

It’s very much in the BoL temperament and it was really enjoyable to watch it develop through its various iterations, starting out as a slow exploration of the psychology of leading multiple simultaneous lives, each with their own dependencies, and ending up somewhere around 200bpm Faustian self-realization. Plus, how often does one get to cameo as a paranoid hallucination?

And before you ask, yes. That’s real blood.

Catching up on the feeds and my backlog from the last few days of craziness, and came across this little reality check from The Chopping Block by Lee Adam Herold:

I always forget to check this site as much as I’d like, and there’s some real gems there. I’m hoping for a full RSS post feed so I can get these pushed to me at work to keep things in perspective!

Rock/Paper/Scissors/Lizard/Spock. Pretty much ’nuff said right there. Although if Spock and the Lizard didn’t have quite such an equal footing we’d have a decent anarchy symbol in the offing.

I think this is pretty much going to be my new favorite drinking game, there’s loads of potential narrative here! Not to mention the variations! I’ll have to sit down and do a Lovecraft/mongoose/decanter//pillow/Ben Franklin.

After a brief sojourn into the depths of Google hell, we have returned! Apologies to the BoL folk who kept with us during this outage, and many thanks to our webmistress Morgana and our hosting company Downeasthost for their help and inspiration! Strangely, it can sometimes be a wonderful thing to have your comfort zone intruded on, and its inspired us to do a bit of work around here. I can’t say what exactly, but I’m thinking we’ll see a few changes in the coming months. So to all our readers, thanks! and look forward to some interesting time ahead.
