Official Magazine Business


I'm pretty proud of myself...

Ladies and Gents you are now reading the writing of 1 mister Special Features Editor of Buzzbin Magazine. *Takes his deserved bows to roaring applause*

Thank you, thank you

Now I have some creative control over the magazine, which I've been working towards for a while now AND...drum roll please... an employee *gasps*... Yes folks I have a "minion"

Totally awesome

My job description is as follows: I write the cover story for the magazine once a month. A feature, more or less, is a lengthy article about a topic. Features are more in depth and require research, interviews and experiences to make them interesting. Journalistic rules don't always have to be followed. I can give my opinion if I wish.

My first article was a 1500 word piece about the history, legalities and the current state of file sharing. I know it's been out of the mainstream media for a year now BUT it's still relevant.


In other news...

Led Zeppelin WILL NOT be returning this summer.
Creed WILL NOT be returning this summer <--- thank god
Phish WILL return this summer

Finally...

I caught myself downloading Bob Dylan's complete works. Over 1,000 recordings spanning his entire carreer.
Let me say... I was never a huge fan of Dylan. But now I am a changed man. Do yourselves a favor and check out...

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Bootleg Series vol. 6

It brought tears to my eyes.

Best lines...

I heard the sounds of a clown who cried in the alley

and

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow


Really...a great poet.

Congratulations! So are you out of the bar now?

Any way, glad to hear you like Dylan. I listned to him while driving with my family down to Florida. His music was very fitting when going through Virginia...

Hmm, that was random ^
