Yesterday the venerable
MC Frontalot released a new single from his latest album
Zero Day. The track in question is the self-explanatory "Spoiler Alert," but – while I would hate to call your attention away from the
freely downloadable MP3 or the musings of the ever-discriminating
Kotaku community regarding the video directed by "Mad"
Max Isaacson – I can't help but focus on another track. This one is featured in a recently unearthed performance from last week's PAX Prime.
It begins with Frontalot and band (backed up by geek rockers Jonathan Coulton, Paul and Storm) performing
Final Boss highlight "
Diseases of Yore," but ends with new touring keyboardist Vic-20's passionately auto-tuned tribute to the
Double Rainbow. And like its source material, it is so bright and so big.

Is that Autotune or a vocorder. Can you do autotune in realtime?
Whatever. Seeing Front and JoCo onstage together gives me the tinglies.
You can definitely auto-tune live and that doesn't sound like the synth vocoders I'm used to, but you could be right, Church.
That's a amazing! I hope it makes it onto an album at some point.
It is autotuned. IIRC correctly a vocorder needs a separate pickup along with the mic.
I think it'd make a great hidden track, Anarchangel.
Thanks for the clarification, Doug.
