The Hold Steady did Radio Happy Hour on Saturday....yay

Scott at Music Taster's Choice got some good video of Craig and Tad playing Radio Happy Hour on Saturday.





We're doing it again on Dec. 12.

A New Issue of InDigest, and a New Look as Well, KaBlam

We just had a couple of great designers finish up a whole new look for InDigest, which you might take a look at. That's one thing that you could do.

We've got some new editors too, who I'm in love with. Not in a weird way though. The new issue that they have created is quite wonderful. It features these people: MattHartAlexLemonPeterSilbermanWillSheffAdaLimonRodrigoToscanoJCHallmanCharlesGreeneFrederickZydekandabunchmorepeoplewhowontfitonthislineifikeepgoingonlikethis

InDigest is Looking for New Writers

As you may have read, InDigest is taking a little break over the summer while we organize some new projects, redesign the website, and get some new staff ready for our new life.

As a part of this process we are looking for some new writers who are interested in contributing monthly columns to InDigest. Columnist positions at InDigest are unpaid - none of us really get paid for this thing. We are working towards making sure everyone is compensated, but at the moment that's not the case.

What we are looking for:
- Film Critic
- Music Critic
- Fiction Critic
- Poetry Critic
- Political Columnist
- Sports Columnist
- a cartoonist who'd like to have new work featured regularly
- If you have an idea for a column that is not listed here please feel free to send a proposal
- We are also looking for an intern for the fall semester

None of the positions are location specific, though we do prefer an intern who is either located in New York City or Minneapolis.

TO APPLY:
Please send an e-mail to writers [@] indigestmag.com. The subject line should be "YOUR NAME [TYPE OF COLUMN YOU'RE APPLYING FOR]."

In the body of the e-mail include a proposal for what column you would like to write, your past experience in this field and other publications you have written for. Please attach three writing samples of the type you are applying for.

If you are interested in the intern position please send an email to editors [@] indigestmag.com and explain why you are qualified for the position and attach a resume as well.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ATTACHMENTS SHOULD EITHER BE IN .DOC or .RTF format.
If you can't follow the submission guidelines here (which are pretty simple and straightforward) you will not be considered.

Please be somewhat familiar with the magazine and know what what type of work we have previously published.

amazing.

Last weekend the third episode of Radio Happy Hour was recorded at LPR, with guest star Andrew WK. It's up online now for your listening pleasure. Get it at RadioHappyHour.com or from iTunes.

Help

Hey, you. Please go here. There is a large grant that is about to be awarded and it's awarded on votes. A program I used to work for, The Lab (ex-The Poetry Lab), is up for a lot of money if it wins this grant. So go vote for it because it's a great program that helps get "at risk" students into college and gets them exploring poetry and art. Good luck Mary.

Watch Your Shins

New Episode of Radio Happy Hour is Online

If you missed this past weekend's performance of Radio Happy Hour you can catch the podcast of the second episode (w/ Michael Showalter) online now. Click here to download the podcast from iTunes.

Radio Happy Hour is Today (and is featured in the NY Post)

The New York Post did a feature on Radio Happy Hour today. There are still a few tickets available.

(Thanks for coming, should you decide that is what you will do with a couple hours of your afternoon...)

Radio Happy Hour Podcast on iTunes

Hey all - you can now download the new Radio Happy Hour podcast over at iTunes. Awesome. There is a teaser for this weekend's show and the full first episode with Norah Jones. Awesome, again.

If you happen to be in New York this week come down to LPR and see the second installment of Radio Happy Hour which will be featuring Michael Showalter. You can get your tickets here.

Episode #1 of Radio Happy Hour (w/ Norah Jones) is online now

Dig it. You can listen to the first episode of Radio Happy Hour now. The first episode featured Norah Jones and can be downloaded by right clicking here. So, there's that. Enjoy it. And then you should maybe be thinking about coming to the second installment of Radio Happy Hour on Saturday which features Michael Showalter. You can buy tickets for that show here.

Minnesotans in New York

Tonight is another installment of Nora & Taya's Minne-apple in the Big Apple at LPR. I'm going to be DJ'ing - it'll be just like The Local Point but without Pockets, and with more than Paul, Colin, Eamonn, and Jake sitting in the studio drinking.

Post-Radio Happy Hour

So, Radio Happy Hour was yesterday. It went really well, and thank you for coming, if that is something you did.

And this is wonderful.

There are some great photos of yesterday's show here (these will probably be up on both the LPR and the RHH websites soon). Come again next month for Michael Showalter's guest appearance on Radio Happy Hour. It's sure to be humiliating for someone.

Ok, that's all. Enjoy the unicorn.

Free Stuff

I haven't really been posting anything I've been writing lately...or at all I suppose...but I've been doing a weekly "column" at F10 for a while now that highlights the best free downloads of the week. Not singles, usually, but full live session, albums, mixtapes, etc. I think it's pretty good. This week there is a live album from Jeffery Lewis & the Junkyard, White Rabbits live on WOXY, John Hardy & The Public's Randy Newman tribute EP, and some other stuff that is also good. You can see it here. It's always at the top of the main page on Mondays.

ok. bye.

ha. humbly.

InDigest Issue 11

Issue 11 is now up, and our contributors in the Narratives section find, through their fiction, new and interesting ways to deal with relationships gone south, and our Poetics section contributor expresses his joy at your appearance in that crown! We also bring you the beautiful work of Sougwen Chung in our Gallery, and welcome back our series InDialogue, where writers and artists talk to each other about, well, anything they want to talk to each other about. Here, two long-time members of the InDigest family, Meakin Armstrong and Sam Osterhout, discuss, among other things, the fate of the funny man, growing old, and why Meakin’s characters don’t have enough sense to get themselves out of the damn basement.

And remember, if you're in New York stop by (le) Poisson Rouge the first Wednesday of every month for the InDigest 1207 reading series, where in June we will be welcoming Stephen Burt, Angela Ball, Rodrigo Toscano, and Giao Buu (and later this summer, John Wray, Marlon James, Ronaldo V. Wilson, and Geoff Herbach).


Narratives

The animation on this is beautiful. Almost a little Deco-ish. Great colors too.
