Good news, y'all. I start a new day job on Monday for Established Adorable Basic Cable Documentary Show. It's in Hollywood, so it's a HELL of a lot closer than my last gig on Goofy Basic Cable Documentary show. I'm back up to Assistant Story Editor, which is great. And also I don't have log footage. AT ALL. I haven't had that luxury since my Bachelor days in 2004. Yikes. The hours should hopefully be pretty reasonable [knocking wood]. Another plus is that I'm going to be working on the show until at least mid-November, so that's fantastic. The pay isn't great, but the length of the gig definitely helps. That and the fact that the women I interviewed with seemed pretty cool. We'll see.
My current music obsession is Mark Ronson, a British producer whose influences include hip-hop and 60's R&B and pop. So, imagine a lot of thick beats with horn sections, echo-y audio tracks and poppy hooks. He has a new album out called Version, which is all covers of British pop & rock done in his signature style. He has a variety of artists do the singing as he does the producing, much like a Quincy Jones album. As a huge fan of the Smiths, I was very tickled when he saw that he did a cover of "Stop Me If You Think If You've Heard This One Before." The video is quite fun, and matches the song very well. Couple multiple viewing of that with another track -- Lily Allen's cover of the Kaiser Chief's Oh My God -- you can now see why I keep hearing trombones constantly lately.
That and the fact that I got a new job.
Seriously, kudos to you for staying working in that business. It sucked out my soul, and I kinda got the short end of the stick... don't have the stomach for it anymore. And congrats on the new job. : )
