schadelmusic.com: This will be where I put the stuff I write, record, and perform as schädel. For now, it's just redirecting to that FB page, until the site goes live.
boydso.com: This will be where I write things that have more to do with politics, feminism, skepticism, etc., and that don't really fit into a music-type area. (For now, this one is just redirecting here.)
So yeah -- coming soon, or whatever. I aim to be a LOT more active once these sites go live.
My friend Adam WarRock and his collaborator thechrishaley have just released a parody version of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" entitled "Nerrd Lines", where they pay tribute to cosplaying nerds. Check it:
As with many of Adam WarRock's non-album tunes, there's a download link over on his site. Grab it, and replace "Blurred Lines" with it in your dance rotation, as the original Thicke tune is a bit rapey, if you ask me*.

Go take a peek. Pretty great.
Edit: Chris Randall added this, which echos my views on this:
@djempirical It always amazes me that people that make music like 20 people dig are always the ones that people get the most butthurt about.

@djempirical I just want to say "if you were in charge, the only music we'd have would be The Eagles."

I just saw a piece on t.A.T.u.'s "All the Things She Said" turning 10, and I remembered I'd just seen a different post on Grime turning 10, and I realized that (though my talents wouldn't necessarily reflect it) I've been dj-ing for over a decade, and remember finding these things while on the internet at work (shhhhhh, don't tell my boss) (wait that boss isn't there any more).
Anyway, one of the things about having been keeping up an intermittently updated blog for a long time is that I can go back to ten years ago and see what kind of shit I wrote. :)
The ECC
Fudgie & Fufu
DJ DQ of the Animal Crackers
Machine Girl
The Rhyme Swing Embassy
Other than RSE canceling, that was essentially where it stayed, though since Pimpdaddysupreme was making the drive up, I made sure to add him to the bill.Here'sa pic of the two of us (he's in the sweet red suit):
And as if that weren't enough, here's a bit of Fudgie & Fufu's set that PDS recorded from that show.
So, yay for blog posts about shit 10 years ago. Maybe I'll make this a regular thing.
