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!.

intro.
Ultraklystron droppin verbage for the Toonzone.net
Time for nerdcore stylings that are greatest yet
Smart alek vagaries and verbal tet-a-tet
In other words 5000 references that you won't get

ch.
I'm the otaking
My otabling
Is taking over everything
ToonZone.net
Where is I sit
It has no pointless posturing
Just keep postin
Like McDoujin
Absurdity from anything
Props to Pancho
And Umino
And Anyone Matt Wilson-ing
(x2.)

v1.
Bringin it machevellian like Ichigo Morino
Bringin that fan based style like I'm Gainax or I'm Gonzo
Sugoi Kawaii-ist Lyricist like I'm Clamp's Sumomo
End My Rhymes in Nyo Nyu Gema Resprasent for Koge Donbo
Comedic violence of the old skool like I'm Tom and Jerry
Super-Deformed Comedic Takes like JCStaff and Tex Avery
Verbal fanservice on the internet where it can be shared free
If it were visual residuals would go to the Dirty Pair team
Cause this is Cowboy Nerd Hop/Style where words drop
Spike TV's all slop/CN rocks non stop
Take a spaceship and some shonen and then just call it Toomami
Take a trip below the surface and then just call it Miguzi
On one block pull out all stops to run Naruto and Rurouni
On the other little sisters get watch the TMNT
College Hipsters stay up late to watch Quagmire and Stewie
Later on while nearin dawn you can check out FLCL

(ch.)x2

v2.
This second verse is a non-sequitor / Anachronistic like it's gigantor
It's breakbeat not 4-to-the-floor /It's random like an instant door
Fraudian like Evangelion / Cause Shinji's Just a Hellion
"Father's like a decepticon" / "Mom's soul's in an automaton"
Like it's elegant and gothic / Like a Vampire Hunter fanfic
Like a DBZ fanatic / Rock Psychosuspense phantastique
Like it's little and it's plastic / Like it's FLCL Addict
Like a brick or two of mastique / Rock this Edict from your attic
A newtype idol that is vital like my name's Rabi en Rose
Visual Style & High Profile enticing every bishoujo
If they wanna try and find me they ought to follow there nose
I'm the w007 700P lucky charm at the end of the rainbow
I'm hardcore yet coquettish / as if my name was Seiji
But my right-hand's not my girlfriend / this ain't midori no hibi
It's old school restoration / like the era of the meiji
It's new school demonstration / cause like it's Powerpuff Girls Z
