And the Tronnie Goes to…
The new Mellotron Sounds anti-award show, just because
The Tronnies are the new kid in school, the cowboy that trots into town on his horse and takes over the joint, the trophies with the chipping gold paint that don’t even try to hide the fact that they’re actually plastic.
I feel like that’s really all the introduction something like this needs–any more and the spontaneity, the magic might be diminished. And honestly, all I want to do now is jump right in, hand out this gaudy gold Tronnie and hear the world’s applause. Just know that there’s no set schedule for handing out Tronnies. Award season can happen any time, pop up at any moment–and that’s half the fun! All something has to do is catch the Mellotron Sounds eye and its category will create itself. Something just has to be that bad.
Now all I need to do is make some kind of plaque–or statue. I’ll work on that.
But, without any further adiue, Mellotron Sounds‘ first ever Tronnie–the award for Most Irrelevant News Item–goes to…
Oh, Fred Durst, you and your red hat. I’d like to imagine you jumping in celebration of your recent major award in the above photo. I also wish I would have been watching live when you said the following quote on Snoop Dogg’s MTV variety talk show, Dogg After Dark:
“When you have the chemistry, or something that really works, you can go away for a while and do your thing, but LIMP BIZKIT will never work like it’s supposed to work without the original DNA. The band sounds doper than we ever have, it’s tighter than it’s ever been, there’s something happening — something very special happening with us. We needed that break, and now we’re back, and it feels like we’re stronger than ever.”
Then there’s the masked Wes Borland–who I don’t remember looking this ridiculous in the “Nookie” video all those years ago. But I’m not gonna lie: I think the guy’s got spunk, maybe even a dash of panache. He’s got a good Ronald McDonald meets Maynard Keenan meets Alf thing going on. Just throwing that out there.
