Ultraklystron - Romance Language All tracks written, performed, mixed, recorded and produced by Karl Olson, except for "shoujo n' shonen," which was written and performed by Karl Olson, Danielle Prokop and David Cheong, and was recorded, mixed and produced by Karl Olson and David Cheong. Copyright 2007.
Romance Language tackles some different ground for nerdcore. The main focus of the disc is an 11 song arc about romance, love and various other things in that vein. Musically, everything from classic hiphop to crunk to grimecore to ambient/hiphop fusion is in play, likely much to dismay of perspective listeners. Meanwhile, the bonus tracks feature some remastered rarities from the RhymeTorrents compilations, some remixes (or perhaps rather premixes) of songs that'll be featured on Opensource Lyricist and some songs that ultimately didn't fit the flow of Opensource Lyricist or the arc nor of Romance Language. It clocks in 20 tracks officially, though there might be a few hidden tracks too ;). It's 8 bucks including S&H. Critical Praise for Romance Language: "Karl Olson weaves a complex web of sense images in his work [...] you won't be disappointed." - Z, Hipster Please!.

Average otaku with more figurines than friends A Moe-phile baka who can't even defend His odd tastes and his annoying habits And his backpack in the shape of cabbit That's cat-rabbit for those not in the know They also have gems which can easily glow And they turn into spaceships with superfast transport But that doesn't absolve me from the fact I can't escort A member of the opposite sex on a date Cause when I ask out a girl all I get is hate They call me mega-ecchi and a reprobate But that is nerdcore cred and it is my fate So I retreat to the figures - turn on my machine Fire up the DVD with megane-ko scenes And then write a review and send it over the tubes To be read by precious few who are basically n00bs ch. Another NEET-day / going slow as molasses Dreaming via manga / about girls with glasses Eating breakfast cereal / while reading up on Nana Then I buy Dengeki / for the Shokugan no Shana Moe girls in towels / getting ready for the sauna v2. But it's not like I'm like / those other dudes on the net Complaining about weight / though themselves heavy set It's not looks first for me / it's about intellect And morality too / though that is hard to detect Until you start a conversation / and begin to relate But the best strategy can be / quite a debate And I have little advice about / how to approach this Cause every girl I have dated / made the first move and so this MC though not innocent / is not a good choice When it comes to looking for / a reasonable voice About how to get bishoujos / with the antenna hair For me it's just been luck / and the occaisional prayer And I'm sure for me to say that / is so pleonastic Though I can say it's OK / to be so scholastic Girls love nerds too / and I say that as proof Just be yourself first / and just keep aloof (ch.) v3. So don't give into your fears / Let me make it so clear All you need is spirit / to connect with some peers And Soon you'll have a friend / a significant other Or maybe even not / if that matches your druthers But anyone can be the hero / and can save the day Look at the Moon Princess / Alucreid You wouldn't think she'd be the heroine just on looks But she can off vampires in any cranny or nook. And Tohno seems more far-fetched with his whack megane But he's raw and he would even tear apart haibane But he only kills when there's someone to defend So he's the kind of guy on which you can depend Thus he gets ladies / though life ain't the same As an manga / slash doujinshi game But take note of that / when you're feeling down Just be your own person / and never the clown ch.(x2)
