  you know that oak ridge boy that sings in that "well fire up" song? the "um paw paw, um paw paw, mow mow" guy? i think maybe thats what jesus sounds like. so today i entered that lame-o mastercard music industry internship thing. 48 kids picked, only 4 or something get to work on the jurassic 5 record. fuck interscope anyway.
here is my "250 word essay on 'if i started my own music or entertainment business what would it be and how would it be different. " (ps they will hate me and never in a million years choose me. why? it is very aggresive and in your face pointing out that THEY are the root of all evil and that i aspire to bust my ass for REAL bands with REAL talent and not their manufactured shit. i also made a point of working among people who REALLY believe in the bands and their creative input as the ONLY creative input and none of their "expoit, sell out, and move on to the next big thing" philosophy. "As a senior in Journalism/PR, I dream to one day be a positive and supporting force in the music industry. I am working to someday actively excel in the promotion of the thriving musical community, while reflecting the evolution of popular music.
If I were to start my own music company, I would see to it that it would be filled with people interested in the creations and successes of the bands on the roster, as well as their best interests and opinions. In a perfect world, I dream of working in an atmosphere that exemplifies the idea that at the end of the day, all that matters is that they we are working for something we believe in. In such a jaded musical world, the community often gives an aura of work for work's sake, whereas ideally I believe in working for the love of the cause.
There are so many struggling bands out there today that have the talent to one day blow up the charts, with only the necessary help and promotion. I want to be the person to do just that- help in artists' journey to the top. Music can be such a powerful resource for so many people, and it is my objective to help people become aware of new sounds and the bands that help push these sounds to the scene.
" suck? yeah i know it does but hell, i made my point as passively as possible. eehhhh smooth. grubb says: "k, good to see you in ames. we had a blast and have gotten tons of postive feedback regarding the show. if it's cool with you, i'll bring extra cds for our show on the 28th at peoples for consignment.
that way we can save on postage. lemme know if it's okay with you and we'll see you soon. thanks for the love and your help with the show and write up and everything else. have a great day! grubb" more news---------- i mailed peter raspler. his reply? "are you graduating? are you moving to LA or just considering it for the summer? are you looking for a full time job or an internship for the summer? what is your job interest in the music industry / what area of the business? hope you're well peter" then "ok, thanks for the further info. we'll keep an eye out for your letter/resume. keep in touch as we near the summer. peter" sooooooo i think if anything worked there hell would indeed be frozen over but i would put on a scarf and be a happy girl.
