Hi buddies,

Just take a look at this discussion on the Wikipedia => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Frank_Zappa#Kill_Ugly_Radio

By the way, the author also made a minor contribution on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa page in the External Links section on November 29th. He removed the Killuglyradio link...

Sorry, I just discovered that there were a lot of disputes with this user either on Killuglyradio or on the Zappa Forum. Forget it, I will just ignore this guy...

Hey Maroual,

Thanks for those links. I had no idea Mr Baranoff was still at it, discrediting KUR on every single forum he's allowed into. The kid's a megalomaniacal idiot and a troll extraordinaire, which is why he got thrown out of this very forum some years ago.
Talking of wiki's, I will HAVE to have a look at how things are going over at ours. It's been too long since I devoted some time to it...

Surely not!  He describes himself...
Quote
I am a writer, composer, artist, music collector, and filmmaker.

His writing seems to be mostly reviews on amazon.com
He also assumes the name Thing-Fish and Alan Smithee III. Do you think he can spell pretentious?

He seems to have produced a film script. His efforts have been described as...

A couple months ago, I found the single greatest comedy writer alive: Isaac Baranoff. Imagine the living embodiment of the stupid teen Hollywood caters to, then amplify every single element of horrendous comedy by 100. The only word I can really use to describe his level of Unfunny is 'surreal'. The jokes are so thunderously awful that it's almost chilling to look inside his head.

His composing seems to date back to 2003 when there was discussion on the zappa.com forum about putting a forum band together...

Arkay, are you excepting emails for instrument samples? 'cause i was thinking of recording something tomorrow. I'm intrested in becoming a composer, and I'm getting a MIDI keyboard tomarrow (It has a screen that shows what notes you are playing to help the person playing write music.) Anyway, I might work out some kinda melody ... If you put it on a album and add some extra bandmembers to it, please have a credit for "Isaac Baranoff" on the back cover and in the liner notes, okay? (If you make a file out of the notes for the internet, say It's written by me, please?)

Listen to the resulting masterpiece - that "screen that shows what notes you are playing" was obviously a great help.

He seems to be claiming copyrights on the Hunchentoot script on his blog.

The guy deserves his very own web site/appreciation society and/or tribute band.
