The Freakin' Weekend

Let's see...last time I was here I ran down the weekday sets, so let's have a look at the weekend lineup!!

Friday kicks off at 2PM with Krissy Mesmer and her hard-hitting set, Krissy is new to Fridays, come on down & check her out!! From 4-6 is the fabulous DJ Ishi with her unique mix of hard rock, JRock, and whatever else happens to cross her mind!! The Friday Freakshow from 6-8 is guaranteed to be the wackiest set of the night....yeah, I sometimes plan a set list but tend to follow the mood of the crowd, it's not unusual to hear everything from Bluegrass to Punk in the same set. Come on in & see if you can stump the freaky DJ!! Closing down Friday from 8-10 is Cyden Nightfire. Cyden has a huge music library and the sets are always kickass!!

Saturday's regular sets kick off at 11AM with Troy Kaminski, who has a love of classic Rock and plays some serious guitar tunes!! There is often a contest going on, and we've had some seriously wacky ones lately! From 1-3PM is the first part of the Dutch Assault, Marvel Kit. It took me a while to get Marv in here, but I'm glad I did! His sets definitely rock hard!! Marv has had RL commitments recently, and his slot has been filled by Guenevere DeCuir, fellow QR fanatic and lover of cheezy tuneage (and prone to on-air giggling fits). She's scheduled again this coming weekend, make sure to give her a listen!! 3-5PM Brings Part 2 of the Dutch Assault, the inimitable Ozark Hax. Oz is famous for finding the most bizarre tunes in the galaxy and mixing them into a hard-hitting set, you may end up laughing as much as dancing!! Rounding out Saturday is the Saturday Shred, THE show to see on Saturday night! (OK, a little self-promotion there)...but seriously, you know I'll play whatever, whenever, and I always have at least L$500 on the board.....

Sunday the rock keeps rolling with the TriLey show from 1-3PM The TriLey show is a dual-DJ set by the RL team of Trident & Bailey Runningbear. The music is always superb, the contests verge on naughty, and everyone has a blast!! From 3-5PM we have Tristan Micheline, and she can really spin a killer set!! She's definitely sick & twisted and a great soundtrack to Sunday!!
Finishing off the weekend, we have our very own Funeral Director, Sly Nirpaw from 5-7PM. Sly has a taste for the bizarre as well, and is a big fan of classic punk, thrash & garage Metal. One thing for sure, his sets are LOUD!!!

There you have it, the Freakin' Weekend lineup.....and remember, the Random Money Giver pays ya just for being a Freak!! See ya at Freakheim!!

Freaky Goings On

Freakheim continues to rock the hell outta SL!! We've added several new staff members, shuffled some sets around, and generally raised the level of Freakiness to new heights!

Algenight Cline kicks off the week Mondays at Noon SLT with an eclectic mix of punk, classic Britpop and an on-air personality that must be heard to be appreciated!! This guy is definitely a Freak!!! His host is my SL daughter, Shay Hax, another recent addition to the FFH Staff.

Following Algenight from 2-4PM is another British standout, Dany Moonbeam. Dany has returned to the Freaky airwaves from an extended holiday and blasts into your afternoon with a hard-hitting serious Metal set. His host is the insane 5ynester Blackburn, also back from an extended break.

The 4-6PM slot is still being authoritatively rocked by meka Chaffe and hosted by Lacey Perterson. Serious mayhem has ensued during meka's sets, drop in & see what kind of trouble you can get into!! Last but not least, Aplonis Ember guides you into the night with the most eclectic mix in SL....you have no idea what you've been missing, the music's so good it's hard to tear myself away!! He's hosted by his RL partner Sylea, and these two have a chemistry to be admired!!

Tuesday brings another new addition to FFH, Krissy Mesmer. Last week tech issues kept her off the air, but she's poised & ready to rock your Tuesday from 2-4PM leading into Ishi's killer 4-6 set featuring the best of Hard Rock, JRock and Symphonic Metal.

Wednesday kicks off with Cyden Nightfire from 1-3PM, hosted by EYEkon Burner, another new Staffer. Cyden has a huge music library and wide tastes, from classic rock to Metal, the perfect way to start your SL afternoon!! TWISTMY Gears takes over from 3-5PM for a seriously rockin set. Rounding out the Wednesday lineup, Myn's Mid-Week Mania has returned every other week, her sets also span the entire musical spectrum; you really should come down & listen, but be prepared to be blown away!!! 5ynester Blackburn will provide the hosting duties & provide eye candy for the ladies! On the weeks Myn is off, Torrent Straaf will kick your Humpingday doldrums away with a kickass Rock/Metal/JRock set hosted by his lovely Dragon Yasayuki Kattun!!

Thursday starts off at Noon with another dose of Algenight Cline, hosted by IrisBlossom Nitely. From 2-4 Samantha Bainbridge has returned to Freakheim with even more attitude than before!! She's loud, obnoxious & proud!! Rhyanna Saphir will be your Freaky Host, and serious Freakiness often occurs, both musically & otherwise!! Rosie Rocks! is still holding down the 4-6 slot, now with 5ynester Blackburn as host. When Rosie needs to blow off steam, watch out!! Her "Angry" sets shake the foundation!! Closing out Thursday is Lainey Thorne with her eclectic mix of German Industrial, Hard Rock, and a smidge of Techno just for Freaky Flavor! Lainey's hosted by Rosie Wylie and she'll make sure you feel welcome!!

This post is getting a little long, so I'll save the weekend lineup for next time. Just make sure you drop by Freakheim and rock out to the best music in SL spun by the best DJs in SL. If you're lucky, I may even drop in and say some silly shit in chat guaranteed to make you laugh yourself Freaky!!

Is cluelessness terminal? I hope so.......

By now, most of you have heard about the folks who had the chutzpah to tell me what I can & can't do in my own group chat. There's a detailed blow-by-blow over on Kaedy's blog (link on the right) so I needn't go into detail here. The fact the people are likely fertile makes me fear for the future of humanity. If only cluelessness were terminal. As Ron White is famous for saying, "You can't fix stupid" Unfortunately, the profoundly stupid happen to be some of the most fertile. This is likely some Darwinian survival mechanism, but it has been thwarted by the nanny state and the ever-present product warnings. Truthfully, there are some people who should use the hair dryer in the shower.

Another by-product of nanny-style government is the erosion of the concept of private property. We see it every day in ridiculous zoning ordinances, and the fact that you often need to jump through several flaming hoops of bureaucracy to get anything done at City Hall. I believe in the concept of the common good, and agree that zoning is a necessary evil. Sometimes, however, it goes way too far. But we the people have quietly accepted the concept of other people deciding what we can do with our property and have ceased fighting back. The exception is those of us who have bothered to read the US Constitution. I like fighting City Hall.

What all the above has to do with Freakheim & the band of Freaks is this: The club, and the group, belong to Kaedy & I. We make the rules. Our outlook is summed up quite nicely in the Group Charter. I realize that some people dislike aimless chatter or spam in the group window. LL has thoughtfully provided a mechanism to eliminate unwanted messages: close the window. Kind of like changing the channel if you don't like what's on TV. What some see as spam, others see as connecting with Group members. It's my way of saying hey & seeing what everyone's up to. The overwhelming consensus has been supportive of this concept, so Band of Freaks Group chat spam is here to stay. We love ya, and being Freaky is what we're all about. If you're doing something naughty, we want to hear about it.

The 2nd Annual Freakin' Xmas Party KICKED ASS!!

OK, OK, I know it was over a week ago. If it isn't one thing it's another, and lately my RL job has been keeping me busy as hell.

2nd Annual Freakin' Xmas Party 12/20

Wow! Talk about time flying.....seems like Halloween was only yesterday! Of course, I could have been trapped in some sort of a timewarp......
Anyways, it's time for the Freakin' Xmas Party!! Those of you who attended the last one know that it's THE party to attend! Once again, we're kicking it off with a performance by The RAILS, live from Toronto at 11AM SLT. Then from 12-5PM we're gonna steal a page from our Halloween party and do another DJ battle! We'll have the best Rock DJs in SL swapping the stream to bring you the Freakiest Xmas set ever! Following the DJ battle I'm going to spin a special Metallic Xmas edition of the Saturday Shred from 5-8PM. I know I have Freaky Xmas tunes nobody else does, and I have to uphold my reputation as the Freakiest DJ in SL! We're also going to try something new: Hourly contests. That's right, we're going to have a new contest every hour, so make sure your inventory is organized!! Prizes will start at L$1000 and grow from there, so bring everyone you can think of!

In other Freaky news, we have 2 DJs making their Freakheim debut on Monday, Meka Chaffe will bring you her view of the Rock world 4-6PM, and Aplonis Ember will spin his eclectic set 6-8PM. Looks like Mondays will suck a whole lot less from now on, in fact Monday night's gonna be rockin!! Cyden picked up Wednesday 1-3PM, so now your Freaky Humpingday can last even longer. And Sly Nirpaw is going to spin on the Sundays Guen is out so your partying will no longer have a bi-weekly interruption.

RL is slowly losing its grip on me, and I may actually be able to be inworld more than once in a while. I ended up missing the Shred yesterday due to a RL obligation, but Sly filled in and kicked ass!! Hopefully I won't miss any sets this week......I live to rock your 2L!!!!

NOW THAT'S FREAKY!!!


Thought I'd share a pic Kaedy snapped over on our private beach Saturday afternoon. Seems a couple of our new Freaks had to make sure they were Freaky enuff for us and engaged in a little snow shaggin'!

The Bears are back in town!!!

Heyas!!! Yeah, I know, been a while since I posted. Damn RL has me tied in knots, but I've been doing my best to keep the best music in SL streaming from Freakheim!! There's a few news items that I have to share though, so I figured an quick update post would be in order. First of all, the sim has changed owners (Kaedy & I officially bought it) and we changed the name of the sim to Freakheim. Easy to remember, right?

And now for the news the title alludes to: Yes, the Bears are back at Freakheim!! Trident & Bailey Runningbear bring a set of killer tunes & nonstop naughty fun to your Sunday from 1-3Pm SLT. Trident was one of the original Freakheim DJs and I'm glad to have him back. And to make it even better, Bailey has taken up DJing too. They swap off DJ/Host roles every half hour or so, and this past Sunday's set was kickass!! Make sure you put this show on your SL calendar, it's guaranteed good tunes & naughty fun!!

Sly Nirpaw has been Djing more & more lately, filling in when RL takes folks away. I still have yet to nail him to a solid timeslot, but if ya ever get a notice he's spinning, get your Freaky asses in here! He covered the Shred this past Saturday, and I couldn't tear myself away.

Cyden Nightfire has joined the Friday night fun, following up the Freakshow from 8-10PM with a set of seriously awesome tuneage. He has my love for classic rock, and this past Friday saw some killer 70s tunes mixed in. I stayed for the whole set, it was that great!! Way past coffin time, but you know how I am about music!

The 2nd Annual Freakin' Xmas Party is scheduled for 20 December, kicking off with TheRAILS live from Toronto at 11AM, Oz's Freaky DJ Battle from 12-5PM with hourly contests, and finishing off with a special Holiday edition of the Shred from 5-7. Fill your coolers, make some snacks, and prepare to spend the day at Freakheim!!

I'll try to get another post in soon, just wanted to let you all know that I am undead & well and have killer tunes on the way!!
