I know it’s last minute, but don’t sass me until you hear what I have to say. For all you bright young entrepreneurial-minded college students who read my blog, I need an intern for the summer to help me out with my backyard concerts, SoundCtrl things, and consulting work. They have to live in or around the NYC-area or willing to travel there at least 6 times a month (including some weekends) and the rest of the time you would obviously be remotely working with me on things.
The qualifications are as such:
- experience filming and editing video (the MOST important thing)
- experience blogging
- experience using social media to build an artist’s community
- can follow directions, but is willing to call me out if they reasonably think I’m wrong or being an idiot
- able to deal with me and help me keep my head on straight
- has dealt with artists in prior internships or through college organizations
- has a sense of humor
- 21+ (unless you’re the intern for me)
What you’ll get:
- hands on experience (no sorting M&M’s here)
- access to my network (my friends are your friends)
- able to attend concerts, conferences, parties, and other music-related events
- delicious food that I’ll cook
- optional one hour a week of “class” to go over whatever you want to learn about the music industry
If you’re interested, please email me
- the last album you bought (not illegally downloaded)
- the last concert you saw
- the last book your read
- the last movie you saw
- the first website you check every day
- 5 links that convey your digital footprint (especially videos you’ve worked on and any sort of writing/blogging you’ve done)
Please don’t send resumes or lengthy cover letters. Everything I need to know should be in those links. If I’m interested, I will follow up and give you more details.
Broken Social Scene aka Why I’m So Happy
11 05 2010Saturday night, I went to see my favorite living band for the seventeenth time, Broken Social Scene, at the 550 capacity Music Hall of Williamsburg. It’s not that they’re the most talented band or make the most innovative music. Rather, they were the band for me throughout college. Every person of their 20+ person rotational band does something that can’t be taken away because each layer tells part of a song’s story. Rocking out on one song and then ambient instrumental the next. Their musical diversity, their energy, and their outlook on life kept me hyper interested. At the end of the show, bandleader Kevin Drew addressed the audience: “We are your friends. We are Broken Social Scene and we believe in you.”
But let me take it back 4 hours when I first got to the venue with my friends Alex and Virginia. Read the rest of this entry »
