Following suit with Kristin ;)
So I'm Laurel, also 24, and from Pennsylvania. I'm a senior in college right now and for the past year I've been dividing my time interning half the week in NYC at Blackheart Records (Joan Jett's record label) and the other half living on campus doing random senior and academic things (more the former...)
I'm incredibly excited to be part of this blog for more reasons than one. I've been looking to expand and further my literary horizons with writing about anything music-related I can get my hands on, and since the debut of Cexcells I've been a fan of the beats. I adore EBM, Dance, Industrial, Dark Wave, and Synth more than other genres and my Ipod is ridiculously impregnated with all of them. As it should be :P
As far as my experiences goes, I've been interviewing bands on my own through managing my campus radio station and writing a music column for my school newspaper. So far quite a few have had the synth and electro sounds within their genre (VNV Nation, Imperative Reaction, and Uh Huh Her). Outside of that, I've done some phoners with a few groups on Joan's label; before and after interning for her, as well as others I've done in my own time through PR contacts I've befriended.
More than anything, I'm just a kid at heart that's passionate about music and who looks forward to a few hours of unfilled time with my head inside a good pair of BOSE headphones, getting the new month's AP in the mail and thumbing through the pages finding what's new and good, and the nerdy type of chick who breaks into dance moves to 80's music in her dorm room while no one's watching (thank god).
I'm looking forward to being a part of the Blaqk News team and helping scour the interwebs with rest of the lot and hopefully when the Crash Love tour comes to an end and the Bright Black Heaven one begins, I'll be able to sit down with the Electroheads* (good Combichrist song, check it out) and get the scoop on all things BA.
neon nights, electric lives,

Holler!
-_- WHERE IS THE BLAQK AUDIO NEWS!?!?!?!
There is no news yet, if there is you will see it posted. The album likely isn't coming out for a year or more, so news will be slow for a while.
But you can look at our older posts, we have posted some news so far, which might be new to you.
Hi Laurel ^__^
You know these intros are going to be awkward if neither of you posts anything soon? *pressure pressure pressure*
^ LMFAO well by the looks of it there haven't been any new post besides the billboard ones
Hi, Laurel! :-) It sounds like you've gotten some pretty neat opportunities!!! :-)
Hopefully, we will both get to interview Blaqk Audio, at some point, in the future!!! That would be super-cool!!! :-)
Yea for 24-year-old kids, who like to dance around to '80s music!!! :-)
And, to those criticizing the introductions, and demanding non-existent news...Please, chill...When we find news, we'll tell you...Don't worry...It might be slow, for a while...But, we'll post new info. when we can.
Again, welcome, Laurel! :-)

KxBurgan, if you feel we are missing some news, please feel free to inform us, because as of right now there is just nothing to post about it; and it will be like that for a while.
No, Drew. You just don't understand. The news must be MADE UP! Post at all costs! No dangling introductions!
But I have a serious suggestion too. Why don't you just select your third writer from the pool of applicants you already have?
