Nerdcore Rising
Last night, Leslie and I watched “Nerdcore Rising.” This was easily the funniest music documentary I’ve seen since “We Sold Our Souls for Rock ‘n’ Roll.” It follows MC Frontalot on his first tour. The tour starts off slow, with small groups in little bars in the south, but it ends in a big way, with a big show at a video game convention. Along the way, they interview fans and others about Nerdcore rap.
Now it’s time for a little braggadocio
while I swing my arms like Ralph Macchio.
This is an obscure little movie, but Netflix has it, and it’s definitely worth watching. And besides, the beginning of the DVD version announces:
This film has been modified from its original version. It has been made more awesome for this screen.
And what could be better than that?

You haven’t seen anything until you see the Anvil movie. It’s more Spinal Tap, then Spinal Tap. Seek it out.

There’s another documentary (they started about the same time as each other) called “Nerdcore for Life” that features the other players in the scene.
