LP33.tv

I picked myself up a radical internship yesterday on my way out of town. Yep. It's going to be spectacular and on top of that, it could very well turn into a full time position. I'm going to bust my little (ok mid-sized but firm) fanny to show them what I have to offer.

Instead of me trying to explain what it is. I'm going to give you a short blurb from their corporate website:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LP33.tv is an On Demand music television and digital entertainment network featuring shows around music videos, artist interviews, music culture and lifestyle content. We curate content and create shows for music lovers to discover and share. We manage the largest music scout network in the world, over 150 music taste-makers scour the globe in search of the most promising emerging music to feature on our network.

At LP33.tv, artists create their own page to upload music, videos, and create their own video playlists of what they want to share. LP33.tv makes online shows featuring emerging artists, creating more dedicated exposure opportunities for emerging talent than any other online community for music. LP33 is all about music. We support music community culture, and build personal relationships with artists and clients to help bring exposure and opportunity through supportive grassroots action.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will be helping out with social media (facebook, twitter accounts) and writing about three blogs a week for them, since they stated they needed a writer. I am more than a little pumped about this. Going to shows will now basically be a part of my job.

AND they have offices in London (I've always wanted to live outside of the country).

AND the office I will be working at is an incredible super high-techy indie loft space in Santa Monica, ten minutes from my house.

AND I'll be working with people who are obsessed with music as much as I am.

IT'S.JUST.AMAZING.ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE

Whatevs. I am happy.

TED TALKS

TED. Technology, Entertainment, Design.
If you've never visited TED.com, please do so now. This is such a fantastic hub for intellectual expansion and there are hundreds of videos to choose from based on the area of interest.
TED is famous for its lectures, known as TED Talks, which originally focused on technology, entertainment and design, but have now expanded in scope to a broad set of topics including science, arts, politics, education, culture, business, global issues, technology and development.
Through just a handful of these fascinating clips, you find yourself experiencing such a wide range of inherent human reactions. There's something for everyone, truly. Here are a couple I watched this morning, I thought they were magical gifts, so I'm sharing them with you.

The first is a talk by artist and computer scientist Jonathan Harris. It centers around the ideas of human emotion, technology and how they intertwine. Two focuses that I'd love to build my career around.



And one of my favorite authors, Amy Tan (Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses) discusses the creative process and how we can discover ours and use it most effectively.


Enjoy.
