You need this.

Today I cross a dream off my list by appearing on a Grammar Club album! Also, in spite of my appearance on said album, this new record of theirs is incredible. GET IT.

This week at MAGFest, you can catch me Friday 4th at the “Ask Your Favorite Nerdcore Artist” panel in Panel Room 1 at 11:30am. Later that day you catch the stage debut of The Department of Darkness (Vince Vandal & Schaffer the Darklord​ + guests) when we headline Vandal JAM in the jam space (6pm - 10pm) with opening acts Mikal kHill, Kadesh Flow, Symphonic Pheenix Force SPF and Shubzilla​ w/Bill Beats! #magfest #tdod #VandalJAM #nerdcore

This week at MAGFest, you can catch me Friday 4th at MAGfest Panel: Ask Your Favorite Nerdcore Artists and Vandal JAM at Super MAGFest 2019! The latter features the stage debut of The Department of Darkness (aka Vince Vandal & Schaffer the Darklord).

Some noteworthy things I did involving microphones and/or stages in 2018: 1. Performed with DJ LugoTron at Ongaku Overdrive in Orlando alongside Tribe One, Mikal kHill Marc with a C and EyeQ. 2. With the blessings of many of my generous peers, I released the compilation album "Friendraiser" which includes collaborations I've done with Liz Grove, Adam WarRock, Dual Core, KABUTO THE PYTHON, More Or Les, MC Lars, Coolzey, Soce the Elemental Wizard, Mikal kHill, Jesse Dangerously, Thesis Sahib, MC Frontalot, Beefy, Jane Silence, Shael Riley & The Double Ice Backfire, King Pheenix, Hops, Dr. Awkward, Mega Ran & K-Murdock and Untested Methods. This album has raised a couple grand for the legal defense of Bunny Buxom & Nelson Lugo who are STILL being sued for defamation by Joseph "Joe the Shark" Naftali, co-producer of NYC'S Hotsy Totsy Burlesque. 3. Hosted four Pink Room Burlesque shows: The 7th Annual Miss Twin Peaks Pageant, The 7th Anniversary Show, No Hay Banda and the 2nd Annual Mister Twin Peaks Pageant. 4. Opened four of the five shows of the MC Lars residency at Gold Sounds Bar in Brooklyn. DJ LugoTron and I shared that stage with Wheatus, Miss Eaves, MC Frontalot, TRON & DVD, Nick Lavalle, JOATA and many more. 5. Performed in my 9th consecutive SXSW Official Nerdcore showcase with Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Crunk Witch, Dual Core, Shubzilla, Kadesh Flow and Crayondroids. While in Austin I also played my first one of D.J. R.O.C.K.M.A.N.'s Nerdcore Dayz showcases and my 4th consecutive Uglyfest. 6. Coolzey and I played our 4th consecutive Scratched Vinyl showcase during SXSW. This year we performed a set of our duets, but we swapped verses and dressed in costume as one another. 7. Performed a solo piano/vocal cover of "The Best Ever Death Metal Band from Denton" in D20 Burlesque's tribute to the Mountain Goats. 8. Played my 4th consecutive Hush Con East after-party with DJ LugoTron, Mikal kHill, Lex the Lexicon Artist, Dual Core and Fuzzy Nop. 9. Co-produced and served as ring announcer for Rabbit Hole Productions' wildly successful TasselMania 2 at Drom in NYC. I also learned how to shoot green screen effects to produce a series of superstar promos/video packages and designed a title belt. (Congrats to reigning RHP Intercuntinental Champion Logan Laveau!) 10. Performed on a boat for a Rocks Off Concert Cruise with mc chris, MC Frontalot and DJ LugoTron. 11. Appeared with Lex the Lexicon Artist in the single and music video for "Why We Do" from Vince Vandal's "FNFII: Advanced Friends and Fandoms." 12. Appeared on Lex the Lexicon Artist's "7 Evil Lexes" single with None Like Joshua, Adam Selene, Kadesh Flow, Shubzilla, Creative Mind Frame and Ohm-I. 13. Appeared in the "Ultimate Version" on Hand Solo Records' "Choose Your Own Avenger" split 7" with Shubzilla, Sulfur, Lex Lingo, Primordial Emcee and Ultra Magnus. 14. Appeared on MC Lars "Notes from Toontown" EP. 15. Released the self-titled debut album from The Department of Darkness, my new collaborative project with producer Vince Vandal, including features from Ohm-I, Coolzey, Mikal kHill, Francine, Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Miss Eaves, LadyJ, Lex the Lexicon Artist, MC Lars, and Shubzilla. This is the best album I've released to date. 16. Went on the Mount Nerdcore Tour with MC Lars, Mega Ran and MC Frontalot and played shows in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Odessa, Albuquerque, Tucson, Phoenix, San Diego, Long Beach, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis and Oklahoma City. This was the best tour I've ever been a part of. 17. Traveled to Fort Worth, TX to play Beakercon with Lex the Lexicon Artist, Mikal kHill, Tribe One, Dual Core and Crayondroids. 18. Released the holiday single "House Tickle Pfeiffer" and performed the song continuously for 1 hr 15 mins on FB Live. 19. Wrapped up two more features that will be released in January 2019. 20. All of the other things that I forgot to include here. Thank you to my family, friends and fans for your continued support of what I do after all these years. Here's to more sweaty, suited, swearing, manic rap antics in 2019. -s

After a two-month absence, The Epic Piecast returns! Let's auld lang syne this business.

‪Thank you for joining us last night for “An Hour of House Tickle Pfeiffer.” If there’s any advice I would offer my peers based on my experience during that live streaming stunt, it’s this: DON’T DO THAT. #anhourofhtp ‬

TONIGHT! THURSDAY DECEMBER 20th @ 9PM EST!
