Internship: Days Thirteen + Fourteen
Fridays are usually my day off from RS. This week was a closing week (for those of you not in the biz, this means the magazine was getting ready to go to print / all the pages & articles were on deadline / that kind of thing), it was Spring Break for one of the...
Internship: Days Nine – Twelve
As you Gawker.com readers know, the big news around Wenner Media / RS is that Jann & his partner, Matt, will be fathers. It’s kind of sad that I get most of the good Wenner gossip from Gawker… Still, I did hear an interesting item while transcribing the other day – someone brought up a...
My, How Gallant You Are!
Jeez, it’s already been almost a week? Well, this post will make up for it, guaranteed. One day, during my senior year of high school (almost four years ago now – and when I was still in Seattle), my friend Courtney called me up and invited me over. Her friend, RaeAnne, stumbled across two young...
Friday Flim Flam.
[Editor’s Note: this was supposed to go up yesterday, but… well, you know. Life happens.] Since Fridays are always a bit frivolous, fun and flirty (and other fabulous words beginning with f), I figured it would be a good day for some spare parts, so to speak. On Myspace: Cara Beth Cara Beth has a...
Internship: Days Five + Six
This week was ridiculously slow, but here a few interesting tidbits: 1) just like everyone else, RS be lovin’ the Arctic Monkeys. Am I the only one who is not jumping on that bandwagon? I haven’t heard the album in its entirety, but what I have heard has utterly failed to blow me away. 2)...
New music from other music.
Ghost Wars Those of you from Seattle (and possibly from elsewhere) may remember a band named Juno. Juno was filled with talent (Death Cab fans may remember that Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr lent their talents to Juno, and I believe Nate Mendel did, as well?) – but frontman former pro-snowboarder Arlie Carstens was often...
Project Runway At Fashion Week
Not music related, but I just can’t help myself – I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m pretty much obsessed with Project Runway. None of the designers from this season have me as excited as I was about Jay McCarroll last year (who I liked since day one, thank you!), but it’s...
Internship: Days Two – Four
Again, not ignoring you – just distracted/busy! The internship has been going pretty well – like most internships, there’s lots of busy work to be done, and most of it isn’t remotely glamorous. I’ve spent most of my time putting together packets of some sort – gossip packets (all the major gossip columns in newspapers)...
The “Girl With No Eyes” will “Never Be Alone.”
It’s A Beautiful Day When I listen to the radio, I tend to listen to “classic rock” stations, because there’s a better shot that they’ll play things I both recognize and enjoy (of course, when I’m in Seattle, KEXP takes over a sizable portion of the air time in my car). Recently, I was listening...
