YOU KNOW YOU'RE all15minutefame WHEN...

In other news, I fucking hate Pristiq, the new antidepressant I'm on. I can't actually tell if it's doing anything for my mood because the side effects are so insane. It's giving me craving for the greasiest, fattiest, most disgusting foods, along with a truly insatiable appetite (to the point where I'm eating HUGE portions like half a pizza or an entire box-worth of Kraft mac n cheese and still feeling hungry afterwards), upsets my stomach, makes me light-headed, makes me dizzy, keeps me up all night because of all of this, and is generally making me hate everything. It's so bad that it's making me sort of not feel like going to see Flogging Molly tomorrow, and YOU KNOW something's bad if it's standing between me and Flogging Molly.

Good morning everyone. It's a good day to be alive.

No, don't adjust your monitors, this is all15minutefame actually sounding somewhat optimistic. More later after I go treat myself to a waffle breakfast or at least a good walk before the sun rises all the way.

The Little Egomaniac Who Could

It's a collection of all the songs I've done and deemed decent, with both new stuff and stuff from last time. Download and tell me what you think.

OMFG, this weekend was amazing.

Friday night: Reel Big Fish at Club Nokia, opening acts Supervillians and English Beat.

First of all, let me say that I hate this new trend starting in some of the larger/higher-end clubs: needing a special wristband in order to get access to the pit. Sometimes they charge extra, sometimes it's first come-first serve. Either way, it's stupid. A lot of the younger patrons aren't going to pay the extra fees, yet they're going to be the ones who want access, which just results in more people sneaking in, which then results in more people getting kicked out. And ya know what that leads to? Less people going to concerts. Even when it's first-come-first-serve, it's for the intent of limiting the amount of people in the pit, when there's no real accurate way of measuring the amount of people in the pit at any given time, wristband or not. All it does it create a huge pain in the ass for those of us who like being close to the stage and having enough space for a good circle pit.

The first act was half an hour late going on stage, which along with the whole wristband thing, pissed me off. However, once they started (and I got past a distracted guard), things got good real quick. I also noticed that there's a greater sense of unity at ska shows than with other crowds. People aren't assholes. They'll pick you up if you fall down. They'll lend you a dollar if you can't afford an overpriced bottle of water (but need it because you're sweating like a mofo). They'll move for people who can't see. It's all part of why I love ska so much. Go to any other show, and I doubt you'll get the same treatment.

Once my body's profuse sweating betrayed me for the zillionth time and I had to leave the pit to get some water, I couldn't get back in. However, this group of guys, all dressed up with their pork-pie hats and two tone suits, started a good skanking circle during English Beat. In general, I'm not the biggest fan of the Beat, but they're great for dancing.

Reel Big Fish was amazing, even though I was seeing them for the zillionth time. They might be getting older, fatter, and balder, but I STILL LOVE THEM. I just wish I had been closer so I could flirt with Little Johnny Christmas, and/or get noticed for wearing a tube top when they played "Ban The Tube Top." Note: skanking in a tube top is generally not a great idea.

Saturday night: No Doubt at Verizon Amphitheater, opening acts The Sounds and Paramore

My calves being insanely sore from the previous night, I really did not feel like making the trek up to the lawn seating area, nor did I feel like making a mad rush in hopes of getting a good spot. In fact, I didn't really even want to walk across the parking lot (which you have to pay $20 for a decent parking place in) to go sit in line.

Once getting situated, the venue kept a tight schedule. The Sounds started at 7:15 on the dot, and played an amazing half-hour set. I get the feeling I'll be buying their album soon. Paramore went on at 8:15 and, eehhhhh. Everything they did sounded the same.

No Doubt went one at 9:15 and HOLY FUCKING FUCK. They opened with Spiderwebs, one of my favorite songs. The set design was all white, and the members were clad in black and white mod outfits. Gwen also has the best abs ever. And she's such a little fireball of energy. Holy shit. And she sounds AMAZING. It's all too much to describe without simply running around in a circle screaming from an overdose of awesomeness.

The band's really gotten in touch with their ska roots. They played a hefty amount from the album Tragic Kingdom, and introduced the two horn players as part of the band. Gwen even donned a checkered outfit which she changed into while the rest of band played Guns of Navarone, a horn-heavy arrangement originally done by the Skatalites.

And omg, the old footage shown while they played Running.

AHDFBJSADFHF IT WAS SO AMAZING. It was everything I wanted and more. Oh man. I'm almost crying now. No Doubt has been one of my favorite bands since I've been in 5th grade. And to see them in Orange fucking County. And Adrian Young in his tutu and thigh-highs. And just EVERYTHING.

Shit's about to get uglier than a porn star's leathery vagina

The internet has indeed become serious business.

Today as I was looking at the cover of Cheating At Solitaire, I noticed that Mike Ness, AKA the hottest hot-ass of all hot-asses, has a swallow tattoo on his neck:


From "extensive photo research" it appears that he only has the one and it isn't mirrored on the other side of his sexy, sexy neck, but still, unf. Truly a sign that I made a sweet tat choice.

What would be a good Clash lyric for the back of a t-shirt?

I got tired of not being able to find a decent Clash shirt in my price range when in a stroke of genius I realized I could just make one myself using fabric paint and a button-down shirt I bought for two bucks from a thrift-store. The problem is, I don't want to leave the back plain and I'm not very good at stencil making (I was originally thinking of putting a picture of the band).

I was thinking "LONDON IS DROWING AND I LIVE BY THE RIVER" as it's one of the most recognizable lines from one of their most famous songs.

I was also considering "You can crush us, you can bruise us, but you'll have to answer to the guns of Brixton," mostly because I just love the song Guns of Brixton,but I'm sort of afraid of people not "getting" it/thinking it's gang related (because there's a lot of wigger retards at my school).

"ROCK THE CASBAH" would probably be the easiest, though.

COMMENCE!

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK BILLY MAYS IS DEAD? HOW CAN THIS BE????

I SHALL BE CAPSLOCKING AND WEARING BLUE IN YOUR HONOR, SIR.

Jesus Christ, there's a bunch of dogs that are like, going crazy.

I'm so glad I stayed inside instead of trying to make my way to Starbucks before closing.

Normally I just write these sorta things off to hearsay spread amongst tin-foil hatters, but this time it seems seriously.

Unlike most of you, I live within 10 miles of a major city. I don't know if this makes things better or worse. Yes, that could mean a faster antidote, but it also means it could spread faster. Of course, what is Los Angeles other than a town of soulless creatures trying to survive by all means, no matter who they have to harm?

I've got the cat locked up in inside and enough food to last for a few days if I ration it out properly. God, I wish it were Daleks, at least then I'd know I'd have to Doctor to eventually cling to.

BLITEOTW Yes, I'm late to the party. Don't hate.

I'm gonna be in Catalina this weekend, so I'm not gonna be on lj/aim/what have you. SO YEAH.

YOU GUYS, MY CAT IS AMAZING.

She is currently burrowing her way under the stack of pillows AND THE BACK CUSHION of my couch.

Her tail is sticking out.

IT IS WAAAAAY TOO AMUSING.

So yeah... prom's tomorrow might and I have two dresses to choose between and I can't decide which one. I'll be wearing these shoes for sure.

But as for the dresses... ( put under a cut to protect your f-list )

I really need it

Okay guys, I obviously need more ways to promote my music. Playing live gigs is a little out of the question right now, as none of the musicians I worked with are in my area, although I think I know a guitarist who'll be willing to learn the songs and lives pretty close to me. I only have about three or four complete songs at the moment, but the list is growing and at least 3 songs should be added to that list once I find someone I can work with outside of school. Other than that, it's just a matter of promoting what I already have. Most of you should already have heard what I have, but for those of you who haven't, here's where you can listen:

Angela Glanzer on Last.fm
Angela Glanzer on Myspace

Of course, feel free to add the myspace and listen to my stuff over and over on last.fm. After all, last.fm actually gives artists royalties, and I'd like my balance to be slightly higher than $0.00.

Now that you've listened, please give me some advice on what kind of businesses I should "suggest" play my music in-store, what sort of fans I should go after, where I could promote myself, and generally what I could be doing better to increase my fanbase.

I know I've been fangirlling Morrissey less and less here lately but this makes me smile
