Intern at Ecstatic Peace

Moshe · 07.22.2008, 02:08 AM

Should I quit my job for this?

Independent record label Ecstatic Peace is looking for part-time
unpaid interns.

Plenty of hands on experience will be provided in
direct sales/webstore orders and shipping, website maintenance,
coordination of press materials, marketing and communications, artist
relations, and general office management.

Ecstatic Peace is a small
office, so interns will be directly involved and get a real feel for
how a record label runs on a variety of levels.

Candidates should be reliable and motivated, and able to work
independently and multi-task.

Experience in HTML, Photoshop, Final
Cut, and Quark are a plus.

General computer savvy and competence is a
requirement.

Offices are located in Easthampton, MA, interns must be
able to come in at least 6-10 hours a week.

This is an unpaid
internship though school credit is possible if coordinated
successfully by potential candidate.

About Ecstatic Peace
Ecstatic Peace! is a record label based in Easthampton, Massachusetts,
founded in 1981 by Sonic Youth member Thurston Moore.

The premiere
release was a split cassette featuring spoken word performances from
Michael Gira of Swans and Lydia Lunch.

The label's name is borrowed
from a line in Tom Wolfe's 1968 novel The Electric Kool-Aid Acid
Test.

Artists currently on Ecstatic Peace! include Thurston Moore
(solo), Free Kitten, be your own PET, Awesome Color, Black Helicopter,
Tall Firs, Religious Knives, Hush Arbors, Poor School, Pagoda, Monotract, and Mouthus.

In February 2006, Ecstatic Peace
signed a deal with Universal Records to distribute the label's albums
in North America and in 2007 signed a deal with Cargo Records to
distribute the label throughout the UK and Europe.

Interested candidates should contact internship@ecstaticpeace.com.

No
phone calls or myspace messages please.

No, it's "Tall Firs" and then "Tall firs". HUGE difference.

SonicBebs · 08.20.2008, 03:02 AM

bit silly mentioning SY in the advert

Now they're gonna get loads of fanBoys turning up sketching Thurston's trainers or record bags, stealing records, staring dreamily at the new FreeKitten flexidisc and not doing any work. Thats the trouble with Indepandant record labels, no business sense

SonicBebs · 08.20.2008, 03:02 AM

he should let me run it

08.20.2008, 05:26 AM

he should just let it go into the hands of the SYG board, and everything would be fine....

article on latest SOMA mag -

http://trendmag.trendoffset.com/publisher/somamag/SOMA_Magazine/issue2/magazine.php?mag=SOMA_Magazine&page=&type=2&logo=0 &issueid=3926

seems kind of lazy article, though. If you write something like "There's no denying the fiercely overused 'freak folk' term" why would you even use it? it just galls me because in 2003 mv organized the FREE FOLK festival, but the massmedia likes to use the disparaging freak folk. And "it totally rules" is true regarding EP#1 but it is terrible writing, I mean SOMA isn't a fanzine, its supposed to be a legtimate product.

I thought Awesome Color were FROM MICH but live now in Brooklyn -

and Majik Markers, aren't really located anywhere these days - I always think of them as a CT band.
