Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 5, 2011.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
Be on the leak list to see the video(s) before they premiere. • Receive production updates while we shoot. • Rest easily at night knowing that a robot has been programmed to pray for your wellbeing seven hours per month.
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
Full behind-the-scenes web pass: making-of video logs, director's notes, redacted scenes, Dickclarksian blooper reels. Access so intimate that you will want to clear your web cache afterwards. • 14 hrs/month of robot prayer
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
Receive in the mail one DVD of the videos and their makings-of, as soon as the last video is done. (Add $5 to this level for international shipments.) • 28 hrs/month of robot prayer
Pledge $35 or more Pledge $35 or more
Exactly the same as the previous enticement, except that MC Frontalot will sign the DVD before mailing it to you. This casual addition of sharpie ink qualifies yours as the Deluxe DVD Package. What a rip off.
Pledge $45 or more Pledge $45 or more
The Ultimate Director's Cut DVD Package contains no ultimate director's cuts or other additional features. It is the same DVD as in the previous two packages, except now it bears a post-it note from MC Frontalot, expressing thanks. This written gesture might seem like basic human decency, but in this case it costs you another ten bucks. • To sweeten the deal, the robot will be instructed to pray for you 40 hrs per month.
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
Advisory Producer credit. Your name in the credits at the end of the video. Just think, those chumps who only pitched in enough to get the Director's Cut Package will have to look at your name go by whenever they enjoy their DVDs. • You also get a free orange shirt. It is the upcoming tour shirt for the new album, "Solved." • 80 hrs/month of strictly enforced robot prayer
Pledge $200 or more Pledge $200 or more
Your producer credit is upgraded to Executive Advisory Producer. MC Frontalot will insure that your name appears under a different heading and in a very slightly larger typeface, differentiating you from the lowly Advisory Producers. • A one-panel webcomic by MC Frontalot (who isn't very good) which will be about your mom. You may optionally supply the name of your mother for personalization. • The prayer robot will spawn a dedicated process which prays only for you, 160 hrs/month. Intense.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
Welcome to Executive Producer. Besides your dominant crediting, this donation level gets you: • A several-second theme song about your name. Frontalot will compose and record. Perhaps you will use it as a ringtone. • A three-panel comic about your mom • A Certificate Of Legitimacy that MC Frontalot has forged on your behalf • A tote bag • 400 hours of dedicated-process top-quality robot prayer
Pledge $1,337 or more Pledge $1,337 or more
MC Frontalot emails you a util that has been secret for a long time. It is a keygen that a hacker built after solving the Painstakingly Concealed Secret Track on the album Zero Day. It will allow you to very casually hack your way past that puzzle, in the manner of a script kiddie. • You are awarded a membership in the beta program for the impending MC Frontalot text adventure. • MC Frontalot will personally text you a picture of his penis (ascii picture format). You may later use this to blackmail him and dash his political aspirations. • You receive source code for the prayer robot, so that you may twist it to your own dark bidding.
Pledge $2,600 or more Pledge $2,600 or more
MC Frontalot will record a brief song featuring the noncommercial topic of your choice.
Pledge $6,400 or more Pledge $6,400 or more
MC Frontalot will fly to your house, plug into your home stereo system, and perform a selection of his raps for you. This will happen sometime after fall tours, and you must not try to transport him beyond the continental USA.

MC Frontalot is the progenitor of nerdcore hip-hop and still its final boss.
THIS was 10k?
Wow, the final cut had a much clearer story than the first release. Amazing how much the video can change by re-ordering the scene.
Money well spent. I will give you more dollars next time. :)
Video is awesome! Well worth my hard-earned bucks.
I am always the only one in the theater squealing when I see you in the people vs George Lucas trailer. That upsets me.
It might be worth putting those over-20K milestones on the front page, so that newcomers to the page don't think there's nothing left to donate for.
If I get over 20K, i will:
@$22k: pay the kickstarter and amazon fees and still have enough for the three videos to be top notch
@$24k: let the Critical Hit director rent the REALLY fancy camera he wants to use, and still have enough for the other two videos to be $5k worth of awesome each
@$26k: probably have even awesomer 2nd and 3rd videos
@$28k and up, figure out how to apportion the extra money among EVEN MORE videos for his album. Just Once and Power User and Colonel Panic are all begging for visual treatments, I think. Weird Al is doing videos for every song on his new album. He is smart.
Would be awesome to use excess money to bring Solved onto Vinyl LP!
Mr Front, what will you do if you exceed $20K?
Dude. Front. Can I call you Front? Which seems okay since its the identity you've projected to anywhere between dozens and thousands of people. You've made me well and truly laugh. ANd for that alone, and all the guilt about pirating the ever-loving-shameless-arseravage out of so much of your music (I love it ALL, especially your vidja stuff) I am all too pleased to pay you five bucks above and beyond the near 2x goal combo you've got going here. Continue to rock face. Nerddom demands it.
Best of luck with the project! Hope everything goes swimmingly. See you in August when you swing through the 'Burgh.
Don't forget to wipe down the awesome when you're finished, otherwise it leaves a ring.
I might even pay to see Weatus so that I can bathe in your awesome.
Tickets to the Ruby Room show in San Diego are only available at the door.
Huzzah San Diego show! When can I buy tickets?
I will +1 that request for Northern New England.
I wouldn't be a "Valued Sucker" if I didn't hand over a bit of wallet not once, but TWICE!
Now where's my honorary sucker (wild cherry, please)?
Awesome project. Also, please do a show in Memphis!
Can I get a post-it from the robot? Also +1 to tour dates in Northern New England.
How do I get the DVD but no robot prayer? I personally happen to believe that the Unprovable is offended when non-meat intercedes for meat.
I'm more than happy to throw my very rare money in to help such a thing. As crazy as the music might be, the crazy has kept me smiling through all the horribleness of everything else around me. <3
First! Lawl!
Seriously, though. My wife and I try to get out to see you every time you're in MA. Unfortunately within the next year or so we'll be moving to NH which means getting down to Boston for a concert will be that much harder. If you could add tour dates in NH that would be super-amazing-awesome.
My wife would probably even bake you cookies.
