Southern Lord

hey, remember that first post where i rambled on about visiting the Southern records hub and and my attempt to get them to take me on for 6 weeks as an intern, aye well the fun has begun. i started last week as a practical 'student' of the industry aka all round skivvy. the joys, the pains, the heartache, it's good shit. at the moment i don't have a heck of a lot to show for my time there thus far...i gots this here on the news page if that's evidence enough, hopefully over the next few weeks i can maybe mumble about whats gwarning in the world of Southern (if i do indeed know myself) or just moan about my swollen fingers...yes they are sensitive and susceptible to inflammation after hard labour work opening and closing cd jewel cases for hours on end. That's the price you pay for being a southern lord in training...

i'm listening to Scratch Acid at the mo...this some good shit.

Sounds cool, what does the work contain? Is it just running around like a headless chicken for gloating label bosses (not like SL will have much of those)

aha, well i'm actually doing some work with the european leg of the southern Lord in a way, Southern are sort of like a network of labels, they represent alot of north american labels in europe and have their own labels aswell. i'm just doing random bits and bobs here and there, spreadsheets, stock counting, orders, web content, a good selection of stuff, it's a really good experience and its all very laid back and cool. i'm learning alot of skills and basically sitting on my arse all day.
