brujachronicles:my friend Des. She’s outspoken. She’s also really fun. Who am I? Good fucking question…. I’ve been trying to figure that out for some 25 odd years.  My name is Desiree Jeanette Garcia, although I’m often called Des. My life has been a crazy and unexpected (but totally welcomed) adventure from venue to venue. It all started in 2005, when I was 17 I threw my first show at Mr. Ts Bowl,  A little dive bar that I legally shouldn’t have been allowed inside, let alone working for.  They were hot summer Tuesday nights and I learned a lot about how not to run a show from those early days. I’m talking 6 band line ups and unconfirmed set times on a Tuesday night, It was Chaos!  In 2007, after overhearing a man talking about the newspaper he owned, I tried to plug my friend’s band to him. He asked me if I had ever considered writing and gave me his card. I soon started writing for his local newspaper doing reviews of local bands. After 2 years of learning how to promote, I had a falling out with the club owner over an article I had written calling him out for being a cheap bastard who didn’t pay bands. Which you can find Here : brujachronicles.tumblr.com/post/150603650/the-mormons Yeah, I’m talking to you Jonathan Teresa, and you’re still a cheap bastard! Start paying some fucking bands you fuck!    I took a few more writing jobs and due to the poor economy both of those companies went under.  So I took a break and lived life. In 2009 I started writing my a fiction novel (which to this day is still in the works) I had a few publishers looking into putting it out but since it was a concept and not a finished project , I lost steam.  (Since then that project has picked up steam and is midway through its first draft!) In 2010 I started to write for a small online magazine and By 2011 I was attending all the shows I would never have dream of being on the front lines for. Seeing my teen idols playing on a stage before my eyes, Hell I’ve even gotten to interview a few of them.  But a lot of work for no pay will be the kiss of death to your love of any craft. I vowed never to write for anyone who had the gall to demand anything of me with unreasonable expectations.  Your craft, whether it is: writing, performing or organizing is still a job, even if you do it for free and that needs to be respected. You get what you pay for. In 2012 I went on my first major tour and fell in love with the road life. I have always loved being behind the scenes and traveling with bands if by far one of the most fulfilling jobs I’ve ever had.  I intend on keeping that momentum going and will drop everything to get back on the road.  I am currently working a lame day job and promoting shows at The Redwood Bar and Grill in the heart of Downtown LA by night.  I love what I do and will probably never step too far away from music and all the beautiful and disgusting chaos that it comes with.  This blog was created not only with the intentions of trying to get my writing chops back up to speed but also for me to have an outlet where the deadlines are set by me, and the subject is picked by me (90% of the time it will be music related). I promise to have no filters and spare no feelings. In the past I have been too fawning over bands that maybe didn’t deserve such praise and too kind to bands who fucking sucked.  That’s over! I promise 100% honesty to my readers ( all 4  of you) and scattered pictures when I can remember to take them. I’m by no means an expert but I know a thing or two about music. You’ll either love this or hate it. And if you hate it please,  PLEASE I FUCKING BEG YOU!!! Send all your hate email to Desilewd@gmail.com so that I can have a good solid feeling of accomplishment/ laugh that my words on your screen perplexed you so much that you felt the need to spend 5 minutes of your shitty existence complaining. Thank you for reading Des

Chris Colfer [about the Struck By Lightning soundtrack] (via chriscarsonkurt)

I had very little to do with the music… I remember my first initial soundtrack had things like Teenage Wasteland in it. Of course, that would’ve been twice the budget of the movie. As far as I know, all of the music is originally composed by Michael, and he has some amazing, amazing songs… There’s a song when Carson goes to the beach that I have on my iPod, and- Oh! This is morbid, but I have the funeral theme on my iPod, ‘cause it was just so beautiful! The music was just really perfect!
