Turnovers and Launches: Internship Update

A few weeks in to my internships (actually, at the midterm point which is pretty nuts to think about) and things are really heating up. The assistant in the office with me at Simon West left to go be the assistant for the head of LakeShore entertainment, and in the fast-paced turnover that left us with a temp for a few weeks, I have basically undertaken full assistant duties for the days when I am there. It is much more stressful and consuming than before, but it's a great feeling to know that I can do the job, and it will be a great asset on my resume as I look for work in a few months.

Over at Current, this week marks the LAUNCH of the music dept.'s brand new show EMBEDDED!! This is a big deal for everyone in the office, as our launch has been pushed like three times already, everyone is excited to start getting stuff on the air. You can check out EMBEDDED SITE for sneak peeks and bonus clips, and make sure to tune in this Wednesday, October 14th on Current TV! The premiere episode features our production crew following Mos Def as he tours around Japan, and future episodes will highlight Ben Harper, The Decemberists, Thievery Corporation, Common, and Silversun Pickups, as well as feature many other great artists and bands. Be sure to check it out!
