How is everybody, it has been a long time and i havent really been very good at updddating so i thought i would write some for you, let you know about the life of Sam, and anything else i can think of...
So i quit my job which was pretty sad but had to be done... it was gettting too hectic and sapping all of my energy, so i started calling every number i could find for music pr companies on press releases that i'd recieved from disorder, which is how i wound up here, in an office in brixton working as an intern for Toast Music Press.
Basically i'm doing things like taking press cuttings for our artists which means i get to read magazines all morning! Then I've been calling and emailing loads of magazines and stuff.
Its all pretty exciting. They look after the Klaxons and The Streets, Basement Jaxx also loads of other cool artists, its a little bit hectic at times but really interesting, and exciting, especially when Klaxons made the cover of the NME the other day. Ruth Drake is the Press Officer here and is very cool, yesterday she sat in on an interview with Mike Skinner and Pete Doherty, i was quite excited as it was supposed to be taking place in our offices, but in the end they went somewhere else, but.. pete actually did turn up! who'da thunk it eh? though apparently he started puking his guts up in the middle of the interview... nice... haha there's one you wont geton popbitch!!
So overall its really interesting, but i have a long way to go i think! Am thinking of applying to do more intern stuff and maybe gettingsome kind of career development loan to cover some expenses as i'm not being paid, though i have nabbed enough CD and Vinyls to sink a small ship... including a special limited release white label of Spank Rock 'Bump' ahhhhhhrugh sooooo goooood!
As goes everyone else, well as far as I'm aware everyone seems dandy.
Rhiannon is about to go off a galavanting around europe to make a film about volenteering with EVS which is very very exciting and i am proud to call her my friend as i think she is very clever.
I think Cath will have enrolled on her PGCE by now... Cath GET IN TOUCH!!
Donna has enrolled and seems happy and stuffs.
Becky has had to move to weston as london can no longer afford to have her! She is working and thinking of moving to Bristol... yes yes... indie fest.
and monkey just had her birthday and is having a bash on... um... tomorrow! Unfortunately i cannot make it as i'm no longer being paid! But its bound to be very special.
So basically this blog was to say, get talking people! Everyone has been far too lazy in keeping in touch, its not on i tells ya!!
loads of love all
Moi xxx
