a letter to me

2011-01-04T14:35:00.000-08:00

"It's all going to be okay."
say it out loud...repeat as necessary.

I have experienced every emotion on the planet...in a constant rotation, for the last couple of months now. But I think the manic behavior is finally starting to subside. It really is amazing what the heart and the mind are capable of when pushed up against a wall huh? UNreal.
Opportunities are finally revealing themselves...all over the place, in the most unusual ways. It's kind of awesome.
The fog has been lifted. There is a light there...way at the end of the tunnel...but at least I know it's there now.
Going home for a few days to lick my wounds, recharge the batteries, and heal. Should be fun, and interesting, to say the least.
Wish me luck. I wish you luck too.

Last night I got a chance to meet James Marsters who played Spike on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. His old band Ghost of The Robot did a one off show in Santa Monica. It was a total Whedonesque dream come true. My friend Trent made it all possible really, and no one could have blogged about it better...so here's the link: http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2010/10/marsters-and-servant/

summer summer summer, got me upside-down

2010-08-03T23:03:00.000-07:00

I realize I haven’t posted in a while. My bad. Lots of personal and professional angst going on lately. Much love to my amazing network of friends and family for helping me keep it together. I am a very lucky girl.
So it’s Sunday afternoon and I survived my 6 year old daughter’s first official sleepover. There was pizza, triple chocolate milkshakes, marathon movie watching and lip-gloss applications a-plenty. The girls partied like rock stars (of the Disney-variety) and passed out some time around midnight…I think. That’s when I passed out anyway. All in all… a success!
Just to make sure I’m not completely lost in MommyTown I am now immersed in the new album from The Street Dogs. Nothing like a little home-town punk rock to get my blood moving. Please go check it out and join me in my joy: http://www.myspace.com/streetdogs
In other news, I officially started my own consulting business. Helping individuals and small businesses with all their social media marketing needs. (I help them promote their businesses or themselves with Twitter/Facebook/blogging etc.) Also doing some radio and podcast producing and consulting as well. I’m becoming very fond of this word “consulting”. And oddly enough, I’m actually pretty good at it.
Summer is ticking away and here in the val the heat has thus far not been a huge factor. Which is nice. After surviving years in Vegas and Phoenix, the heat in the San Fan valley is no big whup. Okay, now I’m officially talking about the weather, so I will say ttfn. laters.

My view on this Fourth Of July.

2010-05-28T18:55:00.001-07:00

Nice view

Ever The Graceful, I took a spill and sprained my ankle

2010-05-20T11:04:00.001-07:00

As I am writing this entry, I am reclined on the couch with my leg up, and my ankle covered with a large bag of ice. Yes, the always graceful, never clumsy me, did it again. I was at my pal Kay's (shocker) getting ready to produce another awesome episode of "You Don't Even Know Me" with Chad Greer & Kay Hanley, when I received a phone call. I decided to take the call and step outside the studio for a moment. While holding my iPhone in my ear, I took my first step outside, landed on my ankle wrong, and DOWN I went. Luckily my knees broke my fall. On the slate patio. Yes. Lucky me lucky me.
As I laid there, writhing in pain, my first thought was the caller on the other end of the phone. I felt so bad my friend had to hear that and not know what happened only to hear me yelling and screaming obscenities. Luckily, I have AT&T, so the call immediately dropped and he was spared all confusion. ha ha ha
I actually broke the very same ankle 9 years ago falling off a horse in Cabo San Lucas. So a trip to urgent care and subsequent x-rays were definitely in my future. I knew it wasn't as bad as Mexico, but I had to make sure. So here I am, a week later, with a bad sprain, some heavily scraped knees, and a bruised ego. I feel like an ASS of the highest order. I know it was a freak thing, and in no way could I have avoided it, but it doesn't make me feel any less guilty. Having to ask friends and family for help like this is super hard for me. I never want to feel like a nag. I loathe being dependent on others.
That being said, my network of friends and family have gone above and beyond the call of duty on this one. Whether it's hosting a bbq for my Dad's birthday, or helping shuttle my kid back and forth between school and swim lessons, I am BEYOND grateful.

Look who's back. And I couldn't be happier.

Earth Day FAIL

2010-04-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

I should have known. I woke up this morning and felt like it was going to be a bad day. I should have just stayed in bed. I decided it was too chilly to walk my five year old to school this morning, even though it is Earth Day and NOT driving would be doing my little part and teaching my kid about trying to erase a carbon footprint, but it was chilly....and I was cranky....so we drove. I promised myself that no matter what I would pick her up after school on foot.
Walking to my kid's school is no great task, it's only a few blocks away, but there is some finesse to the timing. They don't allow parents on the school yard until 10 minutes before the bell rings. If I head over there too early, I'm waiting outside a chained-up door peaking through like a looney. If I leave too late, my wittle kindergartener freaks out when her classroom door opens and Mom's not there. That being said, I calculated my variables and decided I could squeeze in a trash-take-out trip just before heading out with plenty of seconds to spare. That's when things went bad. Very bad.

Some asshole had decided it would be far easier to leave a half-full dirty aquarium perched next to the trash chute, than to actually take it down to the dumpster. I had barely opened the door to the trash chute room when the glass aquarium started to fall. It had been placed on top of a box half it's size and just the gust of wind that came along with opening the door made it tip over. And on to me. And break in a million pieces of glass. And gallons of water soaked up my foot, sock, and sneaker, and proceeded to gush down the hallway.

Lovely.

Catching my breathe after having the shit scared out of me, I realize I've got to alert the proper authorities to said disaster, and head out to pick up my kid five minutes ago. Now I'm late, and hauling ass down Laurel Canyon, with a squish in my step, literally. I am cursing the anonymous asshole for being lazy, I am cursing my squishy foot in it's wet sock and sneaker, and wondering what kind of dirty-fish-water-algae is marinating my foot.
Just as the imaginary steam starts coming out of my ears, I look up to see some idiot crossing, nay, JAYWALKING across Laurel and I'm thinking "wow, that guy's got balls to just jump out in the middle of traffic" until I take a closer look. A very tan, a very well-groomed, impeccably dressed, ROB LOWE looks over at me.
All I could do was laugh. And Squish. And laugh again. Not sure what the universe is trying to tell me today, but I'm pretty sure getting attacked my trash on Earth Day is not a good sign. Even if the handsome Rob Lowe did cross my path.

2010-03-25T16:22:00.001-07:00

So, one of my bestie best pals Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo ) has a new band. They are called Palmdale. They are chocked full of power-pop-rock goodness. New CSpot all about their ep is currently up and running through out the weekend on Houndstooth Radio. Listen to the FULL interview HERE. And if you are in the LA area, they are having a listening party at Molly Malones on the 29th of March. (This coming Monday!) It's free...and there will be a sing-a-long. See you there!

Listen to my C Spots!!

2010-03-19T11:58:00.000-07:00

You can now hear my C spots (aka my arts & entertainment reports) two ways

The Daily C Spot for Wednesday March 3, 2010

2010-03-03T07:03:00.000-08:00

The Heartless Bastards announce their very own headlining tour dates for 2010. I tell you all about my new found love for SyFy Channel's Caprica. Courtney Love and Lily Allen are in a twitter war, which means lots of comedy for you and me! I take a look at Queen Kwong's new blog. Tune in all day today to hear the C Spot w/me, Angie C on Houndstooth Radio.

Switching Things up!

2010-03-02T11:22:00.001-08:00

Okay, so for the time being you will be hearing from me on Houndsooth Radio by way of the C Spot. My daily arts/entertainment/news/personal ramblings will run through out the day on the station. The DJAngieC Radio Progrum will definitely be back in some capacity (more likely as a specialty show a la The John Hughes tribute) but for now, this is all that my time is allowing me to accomplish.

Today's C Spot:

whilst still hungover from the Olympic closing ceremonies, I pontificate about the new SyFy channel show Caprica, my celebrity run in this past weekend, new music releases today and much more. tune in! Feedback is always welcome.

I've been slackin'

2010-02-22T08:51:00.001-08:00

Hey all, haven't done much posting since the "DJAngieC Radio Progrum" theme song craziness....my bad. Miss Kay Hanley assures me the real thing will be recorded VERY soon. You can, however, hear the tribute songs on my show courtesy of Mr. Kurt St. Thomas and his most excellent production skills. (Monday thru Friday 1pm to 3pm PST on HoundstoothRadio.com)
Speaking of my show, I've been off for a bit. Was hit with an uber head cold last week and then as my luck would have it, I lost part of a tooth this past Friday. It as a very important tooth, and I don't know why I didn't give it more accolades while it was working perfectly in my mouth. Apparently, the tooth was pissed at me and decided to jump ship. What are you going to do? Well, I'm going to the dentist today! I know what you're thinking: "that Angie C., she gets to have ALL THE FUN!" and of course, you'd be correct.
Hope to back on the airwaves soon, and tooth-failure free....

Video #3 Another tribute video for my "Angie C Radio Progrum" theme song!

2010-01-25T10:30:00.000-08:00

This one comes from the slightly tipsy but very handsome couple Gary Kordan and Justine Ungaro. They are joined by their pal Stephanie, who I don't *think* I know personally, (the video is very dark), but they all have fantastic singing voices and really need to take this show on the road. (Their tribute has an intentional Long Island accent...a nice twist on the Bostonian original) enjoy:

Word on the street is that there are hip hop and heavy metal versions in the works. Keep 'em coming people! Let's Viral 2010!!!

Video #2 I told ya it was catchy

Kay Hanley writes the catchiest hooks on the planet.

Video #1 I'm getting my own theme song!!!!

2010-01-22T10:57:00.000-08:00

What started out as a rainy day working indoors with one of my best pals (Kay Hanley), turned into the odyssey known as "The Angie C Radio Progrum". Here's how it all began...

As you may have surmised, Kay decided it would be a GREAT idea to write me a theme song, based on my errands of the day. I had to put a scratch ticket in the mail back to my 'Mothah and Fathah' after the xmas-gift-scratch-ticket turned out to be a winnah. After further pontification on the lovely Boston accent we call our own, a catchy hook and a hilarious premise was born.

This is only the beginning.

The video was edited by 10 year old director-phenom Zoe Mabel. She's only, like, the next Martin Scorsese.
Enjoy.

The finished song will be heard as my opener, weekdays from 1pm to 3pm PST on HOUNDSTOOTH RADIO

Coachella line up for 2010!!!

2010-01-19T08:10:00.001-08:00

You made my teen years so much more interesting and fun. It was a pleasure quoting all of your movies, practically every day since 1983. You will be missed.

Bruce has another awesome show for you...and I ramble about Hollywood

2009-08-04T11:13:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, So Bruce McDonald has a new show today...it's an homage to the Bo Diddley beat featuring songs from Bo, Buddy Holly, The Stooges, Bowie, Elvis, Nick Lowe and more. tune in at noon pacific!!! I'm sure there will be an encore presentation later on as well. This show is too good NOT to repeat!!! tune in to The HOUND now if ya like.
Now, on to the Hollywood musings....
It was just released this week that Spielberg is going to remake the classic Jimmy Stewart film HARVEY. It got me thinking about Hollywood, and remakes...and the continued flood of regurgitation that keeps the Hollywood machine spinning. Now, Harvey, I get. Very few people under the age of 40 have ever even heard of the film. So it makes sense that a flick like that would be ripe for a remake. Then I read that Hollywood is remaking RED DAWN. WTF???

Now, maybe I'm showing my age here...but Red Dawn??? The classic cheese 80's flick starring the fantastic Patrick Swayze, C.Thomas Howell and Charlie Sheen? Not to mention stellar over-acting from Jennifer Grey and Lea Thompson! The Powers Boothe cameo alone is worth it's weight in gold!
Of course, as my friend @Heitzie pointed out to me on FB, they will no doubt change the enemies from Soviets to MidEast terrorists. That part's a no brainer. But how can you improve on the campy badness of this movie? Are you going to make it a serious film??? Reading that the hot girl "Tara" from The Friday Night Lights tv show has already been cast leads me to believe they're not going to shoot THAT high...but one never knows how these things will play out.
Let's just hope it's not Kurt Russell in the Harry Dean Stanton role of Patrick and Charlie's character's father in the concentration camp scene. ("Boys!!! Avenge Me!!! Avenge Me!!!!) That powerful scene still gets me.
Okay, maybe Kurt wouldn't be so bad. But if they cast Ashlee Simpson or Demi Lovato in this movie I am NOT GOING. I mean it! Unless I get free passes to the screening.

this is why I love living in LA

2009-07-28T00:09:00.000-07:00

Got to a great show tonight at Molly Malone's with Kay Hanley and Paula Kelly Orchestra Jr. on the bill. top night...and then this happened. Hey look, when you run into a Pixie, you get a little excited. I don't care WHO you are.

Tuesday night musings...

2009-06-23T21:39:00.001-07:00

Watching American Psycho. In my opinion, Bale's FINEST role. If only he had played Batman like "Patrick Bateman"....would have been a far more interesting move. Patrick Bateman would NOT have had a movie stolen from him by the likes of Ledger's The Joker, that's for sure. I think Huey Lewis would have done wonders for the soundtrack. Ah well. Let's move on.
I've got some great music coming up on the shows this week. (http://www.HoundstoothRadio.com)
I am lucky enough to be debuting brand new music from one of my all time favorite SoCal punk bands Big Drill Car. They reunited last year for some shows after many many years off...I was lucky enough to see one of the first shows back in Huntington Beach. The reunion was so successful they ended up playing some of the Warped Tour dates and decided that maybe a rareties & unreleased cd was worth thinking about. After getting together to see if they might want to write a new tune for the compilation, they ended up with FIVE!!! Signed, sealed, and soon to be delivered to an on-line venue near YOU!
The CD will be called "A Never Ending Endeavor" and will be sold thru various online outlets including at their lives shows playing with All! on their mini House of Blues tour thru So Cal this July.
The single is called "Eye A Door" and I will be playing it this Friday on my show.
Also on the bill this week? New music from The Reigning Monarchs. Excellent surf/ska fare with a song title that kept me in stiches, "Short Pants for Fatty". I mean, come ON...what's not to love?
So just a little sneaky peek of what's coming up in the next few days.(1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern)
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my blog, listen to my show, and support Houndstooth Radio. It's greatly appreciated.

Happy Father's Day! and some updates...

2009-06-21T11:37:00.001-07:00

Hey all, sorry I've been so silent on the Blog front. Moving has pretty much taken the wind out of my sails. Came down with a nasty head cold just as we finished moving all of our belongings to the lovely Studio City. Should be right as rain in a day or two. Awesome things cooking over at Houndstooth Radio...including some new music from one of my most beloved bands Big Drill Car! They are doing a House of Blues mini-tour in July with All! and rehearsals went so well that new music was written, recorded, mixed...and is ready for the world! I have heard the first single "Eye A Door" and it is STELLAR!! More info on the song and their upcoming cd release on Houndstooth VERY VERY soon!!!
Happy Father's Day to all the cool dads out there! Including my dad Mike and my husband Trevor...the two best dads I know!!

The Heartless Bastards @ Spaceland 4/21/09

2009-04-23T10:00:00.000-07:00

I have been looking forward to this show for so long, that when it finally came, I sort of lost my mind. I tried to *live blog* from the audience, but honestly, I was rocking too hard to say anything clever or witty. Spaceland was packed. It was hot, it was sweaty, and there was an energy in the air. The band were playing so well together, taking the audience on this amazing ride. At one point I looked over into the middle of the audience and a bunch of people had raised their hands up like they were at a religious revival. All I could think of was; "HELL YEAH".

Kat and I had placed ourselves just a person or two back from where singer Erika stood on stage. Sweat was just pouring off of me like sheets of rain, but I could not have cared less. That woman just belted out songs like she was on fire. Just phenomenal. After about 6 or 7 songs in, I was ready to pass out, so I moved out of the crowd and to the back. (I know, I'm a pussy)

At the end of the night we were lucky enough to meet Erika Wennerstrom, and she was amazingly gracious, sweet, and maybe a tad tipsy.... I think I said something ridiculous like "It's such an honor to meet you" because I get like that around musicians that inspire me. Go ahead, make all the fun you like. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mark Nathan, who plays guitar for THB. His wife and I have been following each other on Twitter recently, so I thought I'd go up and introduce myself. He was equally as gracious and just an all around sweet guy. These folks are not the jaded hipsters one usually suspects when a band is that good. That kind of stuff goes a long way with me.

Please catch THB live if you can...they are wrapping up a tour with Gaslight Anthem, and then will be hitting the road for a bit with Jenny Lewis and the Decemberists. They will also be playing lots of festivals this summer including Lollapalooza in Chicago. Do yourself a favor, experience this band in person. I had a religious experience. Heartless Bastards be thy name.

Found my girl kay hanley...she's now a total h bastards fan!!! This show is like being at a revival. Totally amazing.

2009-04-21T23:09:00.001-07:00

Erika asks how is everybody? We're having a religious experience thank u. Mountain on now.

2009-04-21T22:53:00.001-07:00

I will be blogging live tue. night from the Heartless Bastards show @Spaceland!! Join me!!

2009-04-17T14:28:00.001-07:00

Killing a few minutes before I head over to The Hound HQ to get some work done. Lots of exciting things going on at Houndstooth. We've officially mind-melded w/fellow dj and music savant Bruce McDonald. I'll do a full *C-Spotlight* shine on him soon...but for now just know his music collection is almost as big as his musical knowledge. We're talking huge. colossal even. So tons of new and old music going into the Hound's library.
New music from Rancid, Art Brut, and The Dead Weather added this week. Looking forward to some new music soon from Frank Black's latest band *Grand Duchy*. Mr. Black, aka: Mr. Black Francis/Mr. Charles Thompson has begun a band with the amazing vocal stylings of Violet Clark, (who incidentally happens to be his wife). I've heard four tracks on their myspace page and I must say, I am smitten thus far.
Elsewhere in my universe; sad to see the season and most likely series finale of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. I really loved this show. I knew it was on FOX....I knew it's future was bleak, and yet...I loved it still. Shirley Manson as a *metal* was poetry in motion. Brian Austin Green was all ruggedly handsome as John Connor's uncle.... I shall miss ye, T:SCC.
I hear Dollhouse is next on FOX's chopping block, and I can't say I'm surprised, but really, can we just have a Joss Whedon network already? I'd pay a subscription to that!
Looking forward to seeing The Heartless Bastards at Spaceland in Silverlake next week. (April 21st) I will give a full report next week for sure.
That's all for now....

The C Spotlight shines on Roll The Tanks!

2009-04-02T16:00:00.000-07:00

One of my fave bands we play on Houndstooth has a new Tour Diary out. Take a look at how they spent their recent tour en route to SXSW in Austin, Texas. Looks like they found a rockin' laundry mat and a restaurant named after ME! (okay, not really named after me....)
Originally from Mill City (aka: Lowell, MA) they now call LA home. Get to know the amazing Roll The Tanks !!! (You'll be awfully glad you did.)

2009-03-24T10:34:00.000-07:00

I have a confession to make. I'm in love. Last week, on the recommendation of The Duke Spirit, I checked out a new band's myspace page. "Well, if the Duke Spirit like them...I can certainly take time out of my busy schedule to listen" I thought to myself. "What harm could it do?"

The first time you hear The Heartless Bastards frontwoman Erika sing, her voice invokes Patti Smith wrapped in a blanket of Lucinda Williams with a little Chrissie Hynde & Serge Gainsbourg sprinkled on top.

Sonically, THB ride the balance of twang and rock with a precision I have never before experienced. The lyrics are simple and stunning. "I could be so happy, if I just quit being sad". (Why didn't I think of that before???!!!)

We happily added their song *The Mountain* this week on Houndstooth Radio. I hope you like it half as much as I do.

Follow them on Twitter: @TheHbastards. Tell them I said "Hi". I'll try not to ride by their houses on my bike....try not to write bad poetry about them....try not to get their name tattooed on my ass...but it's going to be tough. I am in love with The Heartless Bastards. How do I tell my husband?

2009-03-17T11:14:00.000-07:00

A very good friend gave me the once over about not being more *on the ball* about my blog updates. So here we go....

Playlist Spotlight: Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

2009-02-07T10:42:00.000-08:00

Shining the *C* Spotlight on one of our favorite songs in rotation on Houndstooth this month:

Come On Over [Turn Me On] by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan from the album Sunday At Devil Dirt. Isobel is formerly of the band Belle & Sebastian and Mark Lanegan formerly of Screaming Trees and the occasional frontman of Queens of the Stone Age.

In April 2004, Campell released an EP with Lanegan, titled Time Is Just the Same. They would later release a single entitled "Ramblin' Man" for their collaboration album Ballad of the Broken Seas. Isobel wrote and recorded the majority of the album's tracks in Glasgow, while Lanegan added vocals in Los Angeles. The album was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Prize. The duo played four UK concerts in January 2007, with the London date being moved to a larger venue as a result of high demand for tickets.
In 2007, the duo recorded a second album together, entitled Sunday at Devil Dirt, which was released on May 5th, 2008.

The partnership began as Isobel was working on Time Is Just The Same, an EP she released shortly after Amorino, in 2004. The title track featured Eugene Kelly, formerly of The Vaselines and Captain America/Eugenius, on guest vocals, but Kelly's voice was too high to sing his lines on Why Does My Head Hurt So, one of the EPs other songs. Isobels boyfriend at the time played her one of Lanegans justly-lauded solo album, and Campbell knew shed found the voice for the song.

And the rest, as they say, is history. We hope you enjoy the song as much as we do here at Houndstoothradio. Cheers!
