Zone Insider

Hello ladies and gentlemen it's your Morning Boner with your wake up call!!! This is my first rendition of the Zone Insider and because I haven't written an actual article since my senior year in high school, I ask you to please save all cruel and bashing comments on my grammar and spelling for the end of the article. And remember, nobody likes a hater so don't be so picky. Okay let's get into it.

September gave us a lot of local music acts due to the City of Roses Music Festival. I spent my time at Breakaway's on the 24th since The Zone was there in support of Steve Ewing and The Tone Def All-Stars. Now, I have to admit, the first time I saw Steve here in Cape during his last show, I was way too plastered on Breakaway's Lunchbox shots and draft beer to even remember how he sounded. But this time I JUST SAID NO to the shots (at least for a while) and got to enjoy a very cool show. I was an Urge fan back in their hayday and even saw them headline "Pointfest" in St. Louis this summer. But you gotta love the intimacy of small club shows and that's what we got from him and the All-Stars. So Steve, whenever you want to, you just bring you and your dreads back down to Cape G and we'll all be there waiting at Breakaway's for another dose of fun. Oh, and Darren, next time wear the Favre jersey. Special thanks to Meri Kidd of Backwards Logic Productions for taking some awesome pictures from that night. Enjoy

Okay now let's talk music on our little station known as The Zone @ 107.1. If you've ever listened to me in the morning you know that this isn't some normal morning show with all that constant babbling in the mornings. It's geared toward more music and less talk (well unless there is a certain story that makes me mad and I need to voice my opinion). So I thought I could share with you some of the new stuff we got hitting the airwaves that I am impressed with:

THE NICE SECTION:

I like music a lot heavier than the average listener and I live and breath Slipknot. /for all you maggots that have bought the latest album, "Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)", you know of the "Vermilion 1 and 2". These are definitely new sounds for the Knot but are just as amazing as the heaviest stuff they've done. So be listening for those songs to impact your world soon. U2 has a new song titled "Vertigo" that is making headlines, Now, do I think U2 belongs on the Zone? NO! But this song has a different way to it that is far from the glory days of The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. But it is a valiant effort. U2's new album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" is due in stores late November. I'm also on a major Breaking Benjamin bandwagon and don't plan on jumping off anytime soon. Make sure you grab their first album "Saturate" and check track 7, plus their second album "We Are Not Alone".

THE BAD SECTION:

Now onto what sucks on our station or music in general. Before I begin to rip this band I just want everyone to know that I have had their back from the very beginning, since the bad ass days of "Blind" and "Good God" through the pop era of "Got The Life" and "Make Me Bad". People chanted "SELLOUTS" at the top of their lungs but I still did not falter. But I'm afraid with this latest debacle of music Korn has decided to produce, I can no longer claim them as my own. The cover of Cameo's 80's song "Word Up" has got to be the worst thing I have ever laid my ears on. I'd rather hear the shrieking of someone having an appendage amputated without anesthesia then ever hear that again. For you morons who think it is good, you can by it on Korn's Greatest Hits Vol. 1. I have heard their rendition of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" and it isn't that bad. But whoever voted to redo Cameo (CAMEO FOR GOD'S SAKE) should have their fingernails pulled out slowly, one by one, in my opinion.

So that's it. Hope you enjoyed the Morning Boner Experience. You may now begin to exit this area and the smoking lights are now back on so light em if you got em.
