Intern-al Affairs: The Cream Wants You...to Bring Us Coffee

  • Monica, our last intern, didn't really work out for us. She blew it.

The duties of the Cream staff are two-fold: combing the 'Net for riveting little tidbits to share with our readers, and also putting out a newspaper. Often, our obsession with the former inhibits our abilities to do the latter. That's where you fine folks come in. We need an intern or two to handle some duties around the office.

Duties include but would not be limited to: entering music and calendar listings for Gold and myself; transcribing interviews for our talented stable of writers; listening to CDs we can't be bothered with; helping Haruch troubleshoot old blog posts; making us feel old. There are some perks to be had, as well. You'll doubtlessly get some free music and guest-list spots out of the deal. Plus, you might get to see your name in print/on the blog if you're a decent writer (not that being shitty writers has ever stopped us before). If you're interested in participating in some sweet slave labor (and I know that you are), email cream[at]nashvillescene[dot]com. Do it!

It's too bad I'm fleeing to Europe for a month this summer (ok, I don't feel that bad about it), otherwise I'd be all over this. Maybe if you guys have need for intern slave labor in the fall, I'll be able to oblige.

I definitely think you're cool now that I know you're going to Europe, Lance. We'll probably need an intern in the fall as well. Stay in touch.

Shouldn't you guys just hire new writers and become the interns,maybe someone who doesn't think Jeff the brotherhood is the greatest band in the world.You know,someone who writes a little more about music instead of how people are dressed at a show.

Nothing, uh.......JEFF's not greatest band in the world. U2 is. Everyone knows that!

I'd be happy to write for the Cream. I'm just what it needs, another million-volt lightning rod who digs the Brotherhood. I might even bring some coffee to somebody, and, if I really like them, it'll be in a cup.

You guys could just hire Jeff the brotherhood to write up their own shows.They could discuss their complex chord progressions (haha!!)and tell everyone about the 11 people that showed up at their most recent house party show,and what bands they copy...uh..I mean are influenced by.

Oh, nothing, you sweet misunderstood soul. Bless your heart.
This isn't on the topic of an intern, but this looks like it was a bitchin house show.

It was definitely a bitchin house show. Those 11 people really packed the place out, and I got in a fight with 12 of them. When was the last time you got in a group brawl at a house show...over a puppy?
