New year, new gig! I’m pretty excited about writing for this new online magazine, Degenerate News. Here is the first article I wrote for them. The members of The Regrettes actually all went to rock school with my son and are now signed to Warner Brothers so it’s pretty exciting. They also happen to be a great band.
Please take the time to read my review or at least click through to show there is readership, ha, ha! It will look good for me! Thanks! And let me know what you think of The Regrettes and the article.
Did the lot and beat him again I see.
Is that the only incentive here?
Great article! And congrats on the new writing gig! You’ll be in Rolling Stone before you know it!
Thanks Phil! That was a lifelong dream. Would be funny to see it come true at this age!
Great review, Marissa! It sparkles with excitement! All the best for these great kids!
It is exciting. Thanks for reading!
It was a pleasure! I am always excited for young people or actually everyone when they start to live a dream!
Yes, for sure!
😊
You could always tip me with an FB message next post (I get notice of those on my mobile). Anyhow, and as ever my support for musicians, young, old and in-between is assured. Nice article.
Thank you Mike! Your support is much appreciated. By the way, can’t help but think that whole young and old thing was aimed at me…mostly the old part!
Good God young lady, of course not! With such paranoia you’d make a fine PI…I should know.
Why, in that line of work, are you? I imagine you would be quite bumbling.
I was quite bumbling as it happens. It kept my targets confused and off guard.
Degenerates is too close to Deplorables. 🙂
I have no problem with it.
Oh, Marissa, I am SO SO proud of you! You are ROCKING! Keep on keeping on and before you know it you will be known far and wide! You SO deserve this! (((HUGS))) ❤
Thank you Amy!
💞💞💞
Great article, Marissa! Made me remember when I use to read Circus magazine Hit Parade diligently. You rock!!
Awesome! I read those too!
I have them all in storage (if the rats haven’t had their way with them).
Fingers crossed!
And praying!
Hey Marissa, I really enjoyed the piece! Buena suerte on the new gig, I’m really excited for you!
You’re quite welcome!
You are on fire with your articles!
Yes, I’ve been writing up a storm! Thanks Colleen!
Oh you got a CD instead? Hey no regrets there! Congrats on this new gig!
Ha, ha! Yes, but still regret not having the cake. Oh well, I’ll just convince myself it was a white cake!
Or the icing!
Incredible article. I have a vision and that vision is seeing you work for Rolling Stones. 🙂
That would be a life long dream realized far too late! Thank you Charlie!
You welcome…I believe in you and I know you’ll get there. I have faith. 🙂
I’m thinking of all the stuff you have brewing right now – home, job, family band, song writing, blog, and now writing for not one, but TWO online magazines … and that’s just the stuff I know about!! You must be one very busy lady!! Congrats on the new gig … you’re rocking it at multiple levels 🙂
I know, it’s been crazy! Forgive my absence from the blogosphere if it came mes to that!
As the Beatles used to say, you’re “getting better, getting better all the time.” However, as I was trying to read the article, this banner drops down asking me to follow them by email. I had one heck of a time closing it. I hate it when web designers do that. I did finally get it closed and finished the article.
Oh yeah, sorry about that. Maybe pop up blockers would help?
That’s great that a rock group gets signed these days. I wish rap music would go away. Must be an outstanding school of rock. I like the title, Degenerate News 😀
Thanks! Yeah, I was psyched that a rock band got signed too!
Marissa, I “chatted you up” and subscribed to the Degenerate News, too! 🙂
Your review was excellent and well written.
Great references to the past rockers who helped shape the younger bands and created influences! I liked that your son knew the one who was only 7 when she started!
Thank you so much for subscribing! You’re a great friend! I’m glad you liked the article! Yes, I guess it pays to start young!
The writing was really tight Marissa. You kniw your stuff and you come across as a seasoned music writer- well done and congrats. P.s. I emailed you maybe 2 weeks ago…no pressure, buy just saying in case it’s in your spam.
I looked for the email but couldn’t find it. What is your email address…or at least part of it so I can search.
Thanks for the kind words re the article.
I sent from 10000hoursleft@gmail.com to your emai with numbers at the end…
I searched it in my email and it didn’t come up. Do you want to resend? Marissabergen602@gmail.com
That is weird. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll resend later tonight (like 12 hours from now).
Okay, I’ll be looking for it.
Ok just sent…only difference being capital M but surely that doesn’t matter? I’d copied and pasted from WP admin initially…
No capital shouldn’t matter but I didn’t get it…so weird. I saw your comment yesterday and searched spam right away and it wasn’t there either so no clue what’s going on. I have some other emails:
marissakunis@gmail.com
You can try that one…
This is really weird. I’ll try again from my gmail and if it doesn’t work, ill use another email. The account i was sending from does look spammy (10000hoursleft@gmail.com). Maybe do spammy it was destroyed before it could dpam your spam folder. To spare you the mystery, I was just writing about a half a haibun collab 😊
