Oh yes, it's that time of year again when we look back on our wonderful musical year and point out the assholes of the year in our wonderful music scene. This award goes to those hard working individuals and or bands or businesses that just don't like to walk a straight line so to speak and have done "weird" things that just make us all think they're an "ASSHOLE".
This year we start with........................
1. Glen "the Freq" Thomas. Of course I'm on this list. Everyone's been calling me an asshole for years so why shouldn't I nominate myself DAMN IT!!! |O| So why am I an asshole this year? Well, let's see. Apparently this forum I created pisses some lurkers off just because of some of the subject matter. I've also been called asshole from former bands and musicians for sticking to my guns of determination. |O| I've also been called "asshole" for how I speak of the local band "Gsis Murphy". I've also been called asshole for saying what's on my mind in type but also in person. What can I say to all of that then, yup, I guess I'm an asshole. |O| The bigger question is, what are you? ;-)
My self promotion, determination in music, graphic design addiction and enjoyment of the spoken word are my love. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and most of all, I have a game plan and focus. If all that makes me an asshole, then I"m damn proud to be one. |O| Of course, some jealous sicko pricks get all pissy because I do all of that for myself without the need of others, but I can't help that. I learned years ago that depending on others just ain't my cup of tea and usually leads to disappointment. Therefore I am proud to nominate ME for asshole of the year. |O|
2. Ok, returning for another year on the list is Mr. Frank Spaz Cake. Yeah, I could use his real name but this just fits so much better. Some may remember Frank as the good local drummer that suffers from little man syndrome where he wants to attack and fight people all the time just because a gear is bent in his head. His wonderful exploitations continue this year and we of Freq's Music Planet nominate him again.
The thought of the day is "Remember to Take Your Meds".
3. Well, this year we have a local news outfit nominated. One of our local forum members came up with this one and I thought it was a good choice. I can't say their name just because lawsuits ruin my complexion but I will say it starts with an "S" |O| You do the math after that. There are numerous choices. Reasons mentioned were brought to our attention by some local musicians who felt "snubbed" by local media. Of course I've also felt this in the past so it's apparent more musicians feel the same as >>>I DO<<. And people thought I was the only one? HA!!! Media Tunnel Vision. Alas, an asshole of the year nomination is warranted. |O|
4. Making the list for the first time is ex Flat Stanley singer/guitarist Jim. Jim is on this list for the simple reason of a DUI. Like Tim from the Smurf band last year, we always include dumb dumbs who drink and drive. Jim is a great guy but stupidity gets rewarded and getting a DUI while customizing a pole with one's truck gives you an automatic Asshole of the Year Nomination. I'm sorry if people think this is wrong of me but first, his arrest was posted on our local news and second, maybe the embarassment will smarten him and others up about drinking and driving.
As always, I have ZERO respect for drunks.
"Public Message">>> DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE you STUPID MORONS!!
5. The little jerk who keeps trying to post on all my blogs and forums is nominated this year. |O| True, there are Freq haters out there but we have a few that follow me around like little puppies trying to post verbal hand grenades on my blogs and forums. Naughty naughty. It's sad how technology can squash little rants by people like this yet, I can still hand out a b*tch slap back on my forum to such worms. Yup, y'er nominated ya ASSHOLE! |O|
6. Gsis Murphy are again nominated this year for being sucky quitters. |O|
What kind of band creates their own cesspool image by stroking their own egos and then QUITS. Like come on. Dish it out but can't take it??? Is that it? Wow, I have no respect for them. If you're gonna be an asshole to the Freq and others and then QUIT at least bow out with some dignity and tell everyone that you are in fact true assholes. I mean really, can't you do anything with class? |O| I'm still singin' that snappy little ditty they wrote called "Twentieth Century Loser". I think that's the name of it? I prefer to call it "Freq is da WINNAAAAA".
7. Dustin Jones and the Rising Tide have slid into the nominations this year for apparently enjoying the rock and roll life style a tad too much.
The nomination was made by a forum member and how could I say no being that I'm always interested in a good story. Hopefully they get their shit together but until then, we on Freq's Music Planet are happy to hand out the nomination. Does it puzzle anyone else when bands that have so much going for them, screw up and forget the point of why they're on the planet in the first place? The reason is definitely not self destruction, is it?
8. Yes!! I have a new neighbour and YES, he's an asshole music hater. 30 years I've lived in the same house and now I have a new neighbour that loves police and hates music. You got it. He is nominated for Asshole of the Year. Music haters are just evil warts aren't they?
Never the less, music still lives in the Freq House!
9. MySpace, the free home for 1000's of bands is nominated this year for the absolutely crappy new Version 3.0 latyout they came up with. Sites were wrecked over night when MySpace pushed the start button on this new lump of lard. If you had a great design on your existing site, it was destroyed over night. The new design has some bonuses but it's slower than hair growing. The site is now overwhelmed with advertising making is visiually annoying and pretty much a turn off. YES, some asshole messed up a good thing.
10. This is reversed for the next few weeks just for any newbee asshole that might take their big break. :-)
