Name of Album: Beware of Child

Here are the lyrics.

I come home
I cry alone
I'm way too stoned
To move or moan
Betrayed again
I was so blind
Shot in the head
From behind...

I love my microphone, it never lets me down!
And with my microphone I'm back on solid ground
I love my microphone, it never screws around
Love live my microphone cuz it's there when shit goes down

I love my bass guitar, I love its angry sound
It's always there for me and that's what really counts
Cuz everyone is fake and backstabbers abound;
Long live my bass guitar, it never lets me down!

I love my new drumset, it's super super loud.
When I play my new drumset I cannot hear the crowd
I despair and I play my new drumset, and wallow in the sound
Long live my new drumset, the drumsets that I found!

I love my music that I make up in my head...
While I lie alone at night composing in my bed
I love the songbook where I record my silent screams
It seems I need my music cuz...
...I hate everything.

Hangin' from the barstool
Lemur, lemur
Hangin' in the tree

A description from their performance at the president*s inaguaral ball ( http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79350&highlight= ):

The band sound something like what one would imagine if Steve Jones, Jim Morrisson, Little Richard, Neil Peart, DH Peliagro, Jimi Hendrix, Mile Davis, Keith richards, Joe Strummer, and Alice Cooper all decided to drop acid, and then formed a band together while on a really, really bad trip. What few lyrics there are, are highly obscene, goss, and offensive, and often racist (but equal opprotunity racist - inserting as many different racial epitats into a song as possible), while being satirical and hilarious.

OOC: I will refrain from posting the actual lyrics for somewhat obvious reasons....

To appy for nominee:
Name: Sons of Othar
Nation: Draztonia
Genre: Viking Metal
Name of Song: For Halla We Stand
Name of Album: Tales of the Skullcrushers

Lyrics of song:

The night is dark,
And the full moon is shining bright.
Oh Halla, Mighty Goddess,
Lead our armies to the light!
May Othar bless us,
or Death caress us when we leave this world behind.

(Chorus)
The Victory of the Glorious Northfolk
We strive for, we die for.
On the Battlefield, we will bleed for our Gods,
Othar and Halla, reign supreme!

The ravens are crowing, the dying scream
Their last words will be saddening.
For Unity and Peace we stand,
Which only bitter death may bring.
And when they try to stop us,
Our cold steel will ring!

Chorus

(slower part)
Now the time has come,
For me to rule this world.
I will join with the Magli Gods,
And fight, for a New Earth
The evil creatures won’t avail me,
‘cause when I wield my axe,
there heads will roll, to pay the toll.
I’ll break the spell, I’ll stop the Hex
Just pour another Ale for me!

Chorus x2

For Halla we will stand!
A Northman never DIEEEEES!!

[Repeat Chorus and fade out.]

Name of Song: In the End
Name of Album: Distorted Space
Lyrics:

(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

It's original! Really!

Presenter
Name: Julius Boogie
Nation: Mesazura
How is this person famous: A cultural icon, member of the progressive blues/jazz/rock/funk band "Duststorm" and creator of Mesazura's national flag (http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/mesazura.jpg). His acknowledgement as a highly talented guitarist and visionary within the small country of Mesazura is second only to the fear of possibly being impaled by his hair should he stumble in your direction or look down whilst facing you. It is generally acknowledged that Boogie has a minimum safe distance of 3 feet in any direction whilst stationary.

Performer
Name: Duststorm
Nation: Mesazura
Genre of Music: Blues/Rock/Nu-Metal with Funk, Jazz, and Latin influences.
The band is comprised of one lead guitarist & lead singer (Julius Boogie), a rhythm guitarist and lead singer (Kouryuu Keiko, the band's only member not of Mesazuran birth), two bass guitarists, a slap bass, an electric violin, cello, african drummer, latin drummer, "standard" percussionist, a saxophonist and a triangle player.
Session and fill-in musicians as well as backing singers are often selected to contribute to performances from a waiting list of almost a thousand. (Mesazura's primary national pastime is music.)

Are they a nominee: No

Heh, yeah just a little :lol: Anyhow, I think I'll start it up soon, and then just make people up to do stuff and if i have only 1 band for a category i'll make up some bands for it, and then just figure something out.

Name: Christopher Leet
Game: Former front man for indie rock sensation Lazarus Calling, currently holding the number 1 spot on the SLAGlands Jukebox
Claim to Fame: Christopher Leet, well known in the music community for his vicious diatribes and attacks on other musicians, particularly certain Mishakalian Princes as well as his acute alcholism has recently been released on 7 milion dollars bail, after being arragined for the following offenses:
Reckless endagerment
Wielding a deadly weapon (his car, in this case)
Gross indecency
Assault with a deadly weapon (again, his car)
Possession of Narcotics

Thankfully, his trial date has been set well after the awards, and he'd be THRILLED to host the show, or to present an award.

Peformer/Nominee Nomination

Name: Vicarious Jazz
Nation: Enodia
Genre of Music: "Allgemischte Fusion" (see below)
Nominee?: Yes
Song: "Jah am Ersten, Lieb am Zweiten" (translated: "Jah First, Love Second")
Album: "Gut Schräg"

Other information:
VJ are an Enodian institution. Combining the best - or at least the most infamous - elements of reggae, hip-hop, jazz, funk, techno and rock, they have to be heard to be believed. With the recent addition of deejay Chanting Yeti, VJ have embraced an even deeper level of reggae - as demonstrated by their big hit above. With trilingual lyrics (Enodisch, English and Patois/Argot), the band has a massive following in all sections of the Enodian community. And after all, who can't appreciate a band able to turn the "1812 Overture" into a James Brown-style workout?

OOC: Just a question, are we going to play out the award show as an RP?

Presenter
Name: Pat Blanchard
Nation: Aequatio
How this person is famous: Became an overnight icon in the Aequatian music indistry as frontman for the band Youthanasia. Makes his opinions heard and remembered, loves to work with others in the business, but hates those who work for record companies or in the media. Once charged for trashing his dressing room after an interview on a late-night talk show because he just felt like it.

Performers
Name: Youthanasia
Nation: Aequatio
Genre of Music: Rock/Grunge-esque
Are they a nominee: Yes

Nominee
Name: Youthanasia

Excerpt from Aequatian Magazine 'Music Today': "Known best for their raw and unrefined sound in their songs and for their complete disregard for property, insturments, stages, tour buses and hotel rooms (especially after shows), this band was almost totally unknown until they shot right to the top of the billboard lists in Aequatio and the surrounding region with precedent-setting record sales. Originally a 3-piece band consisting of Pat Blanchard, Danny Hall and Vanessa Wallace, adept guitarist Scott Fisher joined the lineup by the advice of their record company, Medieval Records. After being signed on with the company (much to band's disliking, especially Blanchard for his hatred of corporate-controlled music) they went out on their world tour which is still on until New Years Eve. Adored by teenagers and young adults, this band will definately leave a lasting impression on the music industry in Aequatio."
