Fat Freddy Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey Gang: dunno if any of you are familiar with the blogging site "HubPages," but I've recently started a profile on it. I've posted a couple of my CD reviews and over time I'm planning to add much more music, movie and comic-related geeky nonsense. If you wanna check it out, my profile can be found here: http://hubpages.com/profile/FatFreddysCat (Before anybody asks, "FatFreddysCat" is an old alias I used online many moons ago. I eventually lopped off the "Cat" and went with plain ol' "Fat Freddy," but I felt it was time to bring it back. In addition to my stuff there are literally tons of other weird blogs/articles on this site about just about any topic you can possibly think of, so it makes for some interesting (and occasionally hilarious) reading. Supposedly there's some kinda nonsense involving Google AdSense tied into this site where you can supposedly make a few bucks off of your writings (similar to Examiner.com, I guess), but I haven't explored that side of it yet, I just thought it looked like a neat place to post some of my deranged ramblings. Hope you dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Newest HubPages entry in which I declare my fanboy love for Accept's BLOOD OF THE NATIONS is now up... http://hubpages.com/hub/Accept-BLOOD-OF-THE-NATIONS-Nuclear-Blast-Records-2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Good review of the Accept disc and yes still a great great album even a year later. Not only is it there best album in many years but also one of their best albums ever IMO. My only disagreement would be the Eat the Heat album which I still love, but i'm a Reece fanatic. Sure it's not the heavy classic Accept but there's some great songs on there IMO. Can't wait for the follow up to Blood of the Nations.

Fat Freddy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 In my latest HubPages entry (inspired by a joke post I made in the "Let's Go Back to 1991" thread), I went for an "Onion" style expose of how the Grunge revolution REALLY happened. http://hubpages.com/hub/The-REAL-Story-Behind-The-Rise-of-Grunge-and-the-Fall-of-Metal Note to the humor impaired: this entry is a PARODY.

Yeah, I saw that interview...funny stuff. I kinda cringed and rolled my eyes when Reiner sez "If Metal on Metal was the future of metal in 1982, Juggernaut of Justice is the future of metal in 2011." I was like "Oh pleeeeeeeeeze." It's good, but it's not THAT good for cryin' out loud. As for them thinking that they've invented a new genre by adding horns to metal, I guess that must mean that even though they're good buddies with Raven and have played many shows with them over the years, they've never heard Raven's "The Bottom Line," "Hyperactive" or "Don't Let It Die," all of which have horn sections in them.

Fat Freddy Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well, let me tell you guys that if you're thinking of joining up w/HubPages, don't do it thinking it's a get rich quick scheme. I've been there for six weeks now and according to the "earnings" thingy on my profile, I've made a grand total of one cent (!) via Google AdSense. So I guess I shouldn't quit my job to write for this site full time ... haha. I honestly was surprised to see that I've earned anything at all (but at least it shows that I have the affiliate stuff working correctly, anyway)... I mean, it's a nice idea in theory that somebody will be so moved by my articles on the new Anvil CD or the "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus" movie that they'll click the Amazon links at the bottom of the page and order a copy immediately so I'd get a cut... but I think we all know how likely that is to happen. I'm gonna keep posting stuff there simply cuz it's fun, but wow, when I read postings from people there complaining about how they're not making any money, I'm thinking that maybe they've got their sights set a wee bit too high, or they're writing stuff for the site for the wrong reason.

Fat Freddy Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hey, this is kinda cool. I was just notified that one of my HubPages articles is under consideration for a "HubNugget" award. Articles that get picked as "HubNuggets" are included in HubPages' monthly newsletter, which gets sent out to 130,000 people (!) There's no $$ or prizes involved, but I love the idea that something I wrote would be read by that many folks. But I need your votes to make it happen!! If y'all would be so kind as to go to the link below and vote for the article "Enter the Asylum: A Descent Into B-Movie Hell!" you would have my eternal gratitude. And hey, read some of my other stuff while you're at it. It's fun stuff (if I do say so myself) Vote now, vote often, tell your friends, your family, your pets, everyone you know to vote!! Thanks in advance!! http://hubpages.com/topics/entertainment-and-media/637 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
