If you are serious, the gist is that while Bee Gees cover bands are common, a musician writing a song about the Bee Gees is not. Your website is mentioned(I thought you were Canadian?) as having lots of songs having to do with rock/pop stars to download and buy, including a Bee Gees one.

If you want your insult to serve as a catalyst for shame, you’ll need to translate it for me. Why you’re at it, since you seem to be multi-lingual, can you translate this?

Ein Song über die Bee Gees von Dr. BLT [A SONG ABOUT THE BEE GEES BY DR. BLT] Dass Bee Gees Songs gecovert wurden und noch immer werden, ist nichts Neues.Da sind Überraschungen in jeder Hinsicht möglich (ohne die grässlichen und zumeist hochnotpeinlichen Bee Gees Cover Bands da mit einzubeziehen!), positive wie negative, interessante wie uninteressante.

Was andreres ist es allerdings, wenn ein Musiker einen Song über die Bee Gees schreibt. Warum auch immer er das tut. Der amerikanischen Musiker Dr. BLT hat auf seiner Webseite massenhaft Songs zum Anhören (und Kaufen), die allesamt mit Größen aus der Rock- und Popmusik zu tun haben, viele davon Eigenkompositionen, manches sind einfach Coverversionen.

Und natürlich hat er auch einen Song über die Bee Gees: Download. [And naturally, he also has a song about the Bee Gees: Download) Kategorien: Bee-Gees, Dr-BLT, Bee-Gees-Cover, Download, MP3

I’ve been on Leno five times, Letterman twice, The Late Late show with Craig Kilborn three times, HBO Reverb, Ellen and Last Call with Carson Daly three times. In 2006 alone I played at Staples Center, the Pepsi Center, American Airlines Arena, Philips Arena, CBGB’s and the Wiltern Theater. I have shared a stage with Peter Buck, Jackson Browne and Van Dyke Parks, and have opened for such artists as R.E.M., the Foo Fighters, the Dixie Chicks and Weezer.

I’ve also made my own solo album, which was released by a UK label and got reviewed favorably in Uncut Magazine and glossy indie mag Comes With A Smile. These are actual magazines with real circulation, not blogs written by some wingnut in Indiana.”

Just trying to pimp your music resume, and I must reluctantly admit, it’s pretty damned impressive.

“some hayseed from Bakersfield”

That’s what they said about Merle Haggard and the late great Buck Owens too. And no, I ain’t no Merle and I ain’t no Buck, but I’m pretty damned good at being me—even on those occasions in which I suck. As I’ve mentioned, if you don’t like my music, you haven’t had enough to drink!

So it makes perfect sense that I’d be jealous at the “success” of some hayseed from Bakersfield who writes what he even admits is mostly crap:

As far as my tunes sucking is concerned, it’s kind of like treasure. There’s lots of dirt and mud, but when you finally strike gold, it can be very rewarding. Not all have the patients to dig through all of the dirt to get to the gold, so I don’t blame you for your frustration.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Surely, however, you can see that your feeble attempts to berate me have only further captured the interest of critics and the general public, many of whom also want to hate my music, but end up finding a gem or two in the stack of rubbish that they just can’t bring themselves to discard.

Wow, as good a psychologist as you are a musician, I see. I hope you don’t really have your patients dig through your dirt.

Besides, I actually feel sorry for you, being transparently jealous of a mere troll like me, who happens to have climbed the charts to number one (not Billboard, but USA Today ain’t too shabby either) and gained the attention of at least one well-respected music critic.

It just goes to show that the work ethic in music is often over-rated. Approaching music as play is more fun, and often, more fruitful.

I harbor no ill feelings towards musicians, even jealous ones who insult me to make themselves feel better about what they perceive to be their shortcomings. I hope your hard work pays off, and I hope to see you right there with me at the top of the charts!

First of all, Prozacula is not me. He is just another of the many unfortunate souls who have stumbled across your pitiful music and found it to be unlistenable.

I’ve dealt with characters like you all my life– poseurs with zero musical talent who torture innocent people with the ceaseless foisting of their mediocrity. I live in Los Angeles, so I come across this all the time. You, however, are even worse than the most talentless, D-level rung of hacks who populate crap L.A. venues like The Gig Melrose, The Joint and the Kibitz Room. You don’t even suck in an interesting way like the aforementioned Wesley Willis.

You’re the musical version of Rupert Pupkin. I’m sure you put on little concerts for cardboard cutouts in your Mom’s basement just like Rupert. And you should know that for all your internet attention-whoring, 99% of the people you come across think you’re a joke and wish you would go away.

Don’t waste anytime with jealousy. Don’t get discouraged either. I commend you for your hard work. It will pay off one day. Try a little less perfectionism, try being a little less of a purist, try being a little less polished and a little more passionate. These things have worked for me. God bless you with your musical future. Hope to see you at the top of the charts!

your music is like wesley willis without the talent.

seriously.

you suck. a lot. i love music of all kinds. yours is just so fucking terrible it is embarrassing. go away, and stay away.

you know what you are talking about. it is amazing how much impact giving a joke space has on good comedy. and a bunch of people yelling over each other is really unfunny. if you watch the view, you can note how everyone lets kathy griffin riff and lets her jokes sit there for a moment. these people are pros. when they discuss politics they yell over each other, but that’s a different vibe (and frankly, a stupid one as well. i hate that people aren’t allowed to complete coherent and cohesive thoughts on television political chat shows).

and i will echo many others in saying that we will be seeing every meme from rightblogistan on this show. every single one. robert byrd was in the kkk? check. hey, he’s 90 and has discussed how wrong he was, and he’s also built a lifetime of votes that show he had a change of heart, but…fuck it. and chappaquidick. and michael moore’s heft. and so on. i would love to see a show that had a different take on the news, a different angle, but the smugness and lack of real sharp one-liner talent on display here was miserable. and the format? is that what they came up with, four people sitting around a desk? pathetic. i know pros are working on that show on the production side–they should hang their heads in shame.

As a musician who has recorded over 80 songs, along with playing many instruments, teaching guitar and piano, and singing for over 15 years in many bands:

Your music just isn’t that good. You have no ear. Can you even tell when you are hitting a bad note? Most of your vocals are sharp or flat all the time. Also, you apparently have no sense of rhythm or tempo, as you are off-tempo during almost every lyric, i.e., your song, Traitor.

Also, just monotonously strumming the same simple open chords over and over again for 2 minutes does not make for an interesting song.

Whoever put you above prince in any poll obviously knows you personally, or has poor taste, no ear, or are biased for some reason.

Anyways, please stop pimping and blogwhoring your conservative musical crap over here, as it both sucks, and we don’t care.

thanks!
