15 frames of fame

"Everyone gets 15 minutes of fame." 
-Andy Warhol

Derived from the quote of Andy Warhol, this term is directed to reality tv or YouTube type "celebrities" who gain recognition and publicity from their (often accidental) video submissions. The use of the word 'frames' is an allusion to the frame speed of video cameras, where 30 frames per second or 24 frames per second is standard speed for consumer/prosumer cameras, thus 15 frames of fame would equal half a second of fame.
Jason uploaded a video of his terrier "Murf". The video was recorded as the dog was eating cat poop from the litter box. Jason then yelled at the dog and it instantly took a dump in said litter box... then sniffed its own poop but was offended by the smell. Within days Jason's video went viral. His 15 frames of fame.
The buzz died and Jason was terrified his celebrity was at an end. He made many, many attempts to train his dog to do a multitude of things with cat poop but alas the dog proved it was a one trick phony. Murf only ate shit.

the frames

a band from ireland.
they have written gems like "revelate" "the stars are underground" and "what happens when the heart just stops"
My simple slant
My broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate

My open arms
My lucky charm
Number eight my revelate
I fucked it up
I rest my case
It all to grey
My revelate

Sometimes I need a revelation
Cause sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time I'm making my own now
Does this mean we're though
Does this mean it's gone
Spent a day just to ponder the words
That I would write to you this day
But it's too great, my revelate

Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes its all too much to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time it's up in arms
This time I need you revelation

Cause sometimes it's all too much to take
This time I need you revelation
Cause sometimes it's easy just to hate you
Sometimes I need a revelation

Fates Warning

Fates Warning was founded as a heavy metal band, but after a few albums, their progressive rock tendencies started to emerge. Based in Connecticut, USA, the band's current lineup consists of Jim Matheos (Guitar), Ray Alder (Vocals) Joey Vera (Bass), and Mark Zonder (Drums).

Their first three albums are best known for lead singer John Arch's unusual vocal approach, and the lyrics deal mainly with fantasy themes. John Arch left after the third album and a new vocalist Ray Alder joined the band. Thereafter the lyrics took a more introspective turn. Their later works (post 1989) go more in a progressive rock direction.

While retaining elements of their metal heritage, Fates Warning grew increasingly complex, with much longer tracks and interesting interwoven melodic elements added after they developed a progressive edge. They merged their love of Yes and Rush, by combining elements of pure metal, classically inspired crescendos and interludes with jazz fusion like chops. Fates Warning has been largely responsible for the infusion of progressive thinking into heavy metal music, despite never attaining mainstream appeal, but a loyal following amongst prog fans.

Fates Warning now has 12 studio albums to their name, namely:
Night on Brocken (1984)
The Spectre Within (1985)
Awaken the Guardian (1986)
No Exit (1988)
Perfect Symmetry (1989)
Parallels (1991)
Inside Out (1994)
Chasing Time (compilation) (1995)
A Pleasant Shade of Gray (1997)
Still Life (live) (1998)
Disconnected (2000)
FWX (2004)
If you like Queensrÿche, Yes, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Rush, or King Crimson, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY FATES WARNING YET?!
