Well boys and girls, it appears that Donna Hopper is getting the Freq's hint of biased news reporting with her new Local 2 video segments. Of course, the video starts off with a Lop Lops band "Machines Dream" but at least other bands and other bars are briefly mentioned. Is is possible she is finally realizing what most of us have known for years and that is, we're sick of hearing of the same bands she loves so much? Time will tell. Call me crazy but I knew it was only a matter of time before Hopper would be part of the video age with the merging of Local 2 and Sootoday. Of course we know the Freq won't get an ounce of acknowledgement for this small change of Hopperism but that's fine. Those loyal to reading Freq's Music Planet know I've harped about this for some time. We'll continue to wait for a wider choice of video talent previews from Local 2 but I'll be quite blunt in saying that it won't vary much from what has been force fed to us in print from Sootoday these past years. I could be wrong, but not likely. A bunch of us posters are still going to keep our radars working over this coming year to see if things change. ;-) In the meantime, here's Donna's new video. Kinda reminds me of Freq's old "The Barking Eye" blog eh kids? Could I be an influence? haha. Click the link below. Local 2's New Video Show

What? You're joking right? She's too much. Now we have to actually see her force feed us the same slop she's fed us on Sootoday? I may have to up my beer intake just to survive. How many write ups for Craig West? Is he a contender for Case? |O| Maybe she's afraid to talk about bands outside of her personal faves.

I knew it!!! Another article on a band from Hopper's regular fave list playing the same bar we all know. Someone even posts on the article about a snub for the opening act. Sootoday will NEVER change. |O| Unbelievable. Hopperism snubs another band and even says that the article was about the album by the main act and not the show itself. haha. Yeah right! She mentions the bar of this show but not the opening act. Nice. Latest Sootoday Snub and Article on the same band and bar.

This is pretty convenient. Do an interview at the bar on one of her favorite bands, then run across the street from Lop Lops to Cases Music, do another interview on another Lop Lops alumni, then head back and do another one at the bar. Saves on gas and driving around looking for interesting stories on other musicians. That's logical. LMAO It would be funny to see video of her running back and forth across the street. I smell a Case interview coming next. Any bets?

More plugs for Lop Lops and the band Kalle Mattson. 3 months into the year and I think that's 3 plugs for them, correct? Sootoday and Local 2 are on a roll. Ok. some other random show dates of other artists get a squeak of notice. Any readers getting the "big picture" yet? ;-) Another Kalle Mattson Related Video

Freq, you won't believe this, but Sootoday posted yet another plug for Kalli Mattson. I don't even live in the Sault and I notice extreme repetition of the same bands. To be honest, I don't understand the hype on this Mattson band. You must have to be Canadian to get their music. Too simple for my liking and he's kind of a horrible singer. To each his own.

Fingerbang, I'm with you on that band. Can't stand them. Thie music is uneventful and lame, but that's just my opinion. A few of us saw them at Rotaryfest years ago and the best part was their drummer, who's no longer with them. Freq knows him.
The big news is, after 6 years Hopper is finally getting her ass to some metal shows. Judging from the BS on Facebook, people are reading your site Freq because they're chanting that favorite bands of lop lops song you harp about. That Pints guy is happy. I'm sure you won't get any credit for making this an issue but many have felt the way you do Freq. So, let's see if Screwtoday and other media along that Hopper chick cover the middle ground of music here in the Sault. Let's all give Freq a little love for this. It's not Hopper. She would have just sat on her ass if Freq didn't piss her off to get up and do something. She was so pissed off|O| You rule buddy.
