Big Tone
Internet Celebrity/Radio Host/Advice Columnist
This filipino madman hates gays, democrats, and tagolog. He's a You Tube celebrity, part of the Bob Freeman crew, and popular guest of ZZZlist ZZZcast - the official podcast of ZZZlist.com! Check out his new ZZZlist advice column! Send him a question!

George Hurley - COMING SOON!!

Legendary drummer from fIREHOSE and Minutemen. His drumming style is often described as powerful, frenetic, and unpredictable, and is often credited as an inspiration to punk music fans and musicians alike. Oh and we happen to be related. Fucking sue me!

Roky Erickson - COMING SOON!!
Musician
The godfather of 60's psychedelic rock. A living legend. If you don't know who this man or the 13th Floor Elevators are, then you aren't cool enough to click on the link.

Freeman and his entourage are Youtube celebrities and some of his best material is focused around his best friend and functional retard, a Filipino called "Big Tone". Freeman, 29, has vowed to commit suicide if he does not receive a national radio show by the time he's 30.

 

 

 

Kool Keith
Musician
This musical dichotomy is a rapper and founder of the group Ultramagnetic MSs. At a point in his early career, he was institutionalized in Bellevue, but he's back now, and crazy as ever.  

Ian Mackaye
Musician/Owner of Dischord Records
Ian has been the frontman of many bands, including Minor Threat, Fugazi, Embrace, and more recently The Evens. I actually got to see Fugazi in the early 90's at the Hollywood Palladium, and have always been of the opinion that this band had "Nirvana" potential.

Kid Congo Powers
Musician
This incredible musician has been in about a billion of my favorite bands, including Gun Club, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Dexter Romweber
Musician
In my opinion, the band The White Stripes got big by lifting from Romweber's band "Flat Duo Jets". He and his sister Sara currently perform under the name "Dexter Romweber Duo".

Diamanda Galas
Performance Artist/Musician
Galas is an amazing pianist and vocalist. Unfortunately not many people have heard of her. Her 1994 album "The Sporting Life" with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) is nothing short of brilliant.

Billy Childish
Artist/Poet/Musician
This dyslexic, anti-social artist, poet, and songwriter is highly requested by ZZZlist readers. Since he has no phone or internet and lives in England, he'll be a tough acquisition. I'd suck a dick for one of his paintings.

Daniel Johnston
Artist/Musician
Johnston is an artist and musician and is also highly requested by ZZZlist readers. His songs have been recorded by artists such as Wilco, fIREHOSE, Yo La Tengo, Tom Waits, and Pearl Jam. There are so many reasons that he is ZZZlist material, but I think the coolest thing he ever did was to get arrested while on tour with Sonic Youth for drawing the jesus fish on the wall inside of the Statue of Liberty.

Art Clokey
Artist/Writer
Art pioneered "stop-motion clay animation" and Gumby was born! Clokey is also responsible for the popular claymation series "Davey and Goliath".

Randy Constan (Peter Pan)
Internet Celebrity
This guy has been dressing up like a fairy since back when I was first on the net and things like this were still shocking to me. He is an internet legend!

Charlie Louvin
Musician
Charlie and his brother Ira were a singing duo known as "The Louvin Brothers" who sang warped gospel/country music. Ira was killed in a car accident in his forties. Charlie is still kicking it around somewhere.

John Cameron Mitchell
Actor/Director/Musician
He wrote a play about a gender-challenged singer who was the victim of molestation, plagiarism, oppression, and a fucked-up sex change operation. And he pulled it off uncontrivedly. Is that a word? You know what I mean!
