Thou Shalt Have No Operators Before Me
For I am The Operator, your Operator, a kind Operator, a spiteful and a jealous Operator…
… an Operator who is not a cheesy web search directory, nor another cheesy web search directory, nor a redirect to an incomplete biking, hiking, and geocaching resource.
You will probably also notice that this is “Operator Speaking” and not “Operator Singing” - I am very displeased to find that a poseur metal band will likely be competing with me in my quest to become the one-and-only Operator of the internet.
There can be only one.
Let’s examine this up-and-coming Warner Brothers act while it is still in its larval stage, shall we?
In all fairness, I was hopeful that I’d have something good to listen to. I gave Operator a chance… and they failed at music on so many levels, I had to begin hating them 30 seconds into their debut single “Soulcrusher”.
First and foremost, consider the act’s domain - OperatorMusic.com (registered 2006-03-01). Clever, no? No doubt they queried Operator.com and found that owning such “prime web real estate” would cost more than the band could hope to make on five platinum records. (For the record, Operator-Speaking.com was registered 2005-10-11)
Left with a $10 domain, they had some money to spend on their Public Image, tattoos, and album art (I would guess that they also spent some money on new instruments, though you would not guess it if you heard them play).
The Band
Operator bleeds machismo, angst, and testosterone-laced sweat - just what the Warner Brothers focus group wanted!
The Music
You think it’s like this… (whatever “this” is supposed to be)
… but it’s really like this. 100% beefcake thrash-’n-bash. Vapid wanna-make-some-money-so-let’s-rock-out-for-Warner-Brothers prefab trash.
But don’t take my word for it - visit OperatorMusic.com and take a listen, or join me in spamming their MySpace page with comments regarding Johnny Strong (AKA Beefy Tattooed-McBeef) and his homoerotic appeal.
… or take a gander at the beef-machine’s Ultimate Training workout …
