Good Advice for the Sheeple

Yesterday I interviewed Kyle Turley on my metal radio show, Annie Christ's Metal Monday. At first, we concentrated on his music and his CD "Anger Management." We touched on his pro football career and the charity he raises money for. The last 15 minutes (or so) of the interview took a very different tone. Turley basically schooled us all on his beliefs and on what we need to open our eyes to. I was not expecting such an amazing and interesting rant from this guy. And whether you like his music or not, this is well worth a listen - especially if you care about what is right and wrong. I'd love to hear your comments. Do you agree with what Turley says at the end of the interview?

Valhall's Red Planet CD

Weight

My friend just sent me the lyrics to a song he's been working on. They're so personal to him that he gets angry when he repeats them, and I know it was hard to share them with someone, but I'm honored that he did.

And although the topic of the song is not something I've had to deal with, some of the lines touched me very deeply. It's amazing to see what is being written in metal today and how much of it is so intelligent and complex. (And pro-feminine.)

Maybe it's my friend's song or things that have happened in the past few days, but I am a little overloaded right now with the weight of certain realities - in me and others. We're all just beings bumping into each other here - looking for relief, and love, and air to breathe, and a way to be.

I'm not trying to get philosophical here. I'm just wondering how to find all those things for myself while I see my friends doing the same. I see us struggling and I wonder why.

And before I get too deep.....I see us all bright-eyed and smiling too. And I see us enjoying each others' opinions and time. I have such hope for us - that we will all find our way somehow. My friends are awesome!

Love you guys!
Annie

My New Buddy: Wedgehead

You might have noticed that I have posted a few new pics on the site. Yes, I realize they are not your typical “heavy metal” type pics – but I guess that’s what I was going for. I love that metal fans are diverse and true individuals; and I always want to privilege that in my work. The truth is I wear cowboy boots more often than biker boots. And in real life I hang out with horses more than metal bands or fans. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan, supporter, student, and true believer in this music that I find to be the only real, organic, expression of self out there.

When my friend Bryan, who is a rodeo bullfighter, told me about the bulls at his place, I had to check them out. The bull that I got to meet (and pet) was Wedgehead. He has been on Jimmy Kimmel Live so he’s way more famous than me. I was able to get into the pen with him and as long as I didn’t make any sudden movements, I was told I would be just fine. Wedgehead was so relaxed around me that he decided to take a five minute piss during the shoot (the results of which you can see behind me in the pics).

The other rodeo bulls there (some of which were PBR bulls) were too dangerous to get near. As I walked by them, they snorted and were totally intimidating. I look forward to going back out to the bull pen and hanging with my new buddy. Maybe Bryan will let me ride Wedgehead next time! (Video to follow! LOL)

The Future of Heavy Metal

Yesterday, on his 11th birthday, my friend Dylan called into my show and sang Black Sabbath to me! Dylan is a great singer and has been a metal fan since he was a baby.

So, if you're worried that all kids are only into rap or Miley Cyrus, then take a look at Dylan and know that metal will carry on long after we are gone.

Thanks, Dylan!!!!!!

My Reel

When I was acting, I used the name Amber Rules (the origins of which is a long story that I won't go into right now). I had totally forgotten about my reel - but it kinda explains where those silly fairy pics came from.

I like the reel because it shows me with almost every hair color possible and it reminds me of all the great times I had on set.

Looking for Underground Bands

I'm on a mission to find Underground bands to showcase on a new show I'm developing with Basement Sound. The show will be radio based, but will lead to the new video series I'm doing through them. The bands can be from ANYWHERE in the WORLD. They only need be METAL.


Interested bands should contact me via Myspace or EMAIL with subject line: Metal Mission.

Thanks!
(And thanks for helping me promote the underground.)
