Hullo...? Anybody there?

It's been about... ahem... two and a half years since Culture Sluts ceased podcasting - hey a lot has happened! Check out Steve's new projects: http://irishmusictelevision.com/ & http://www.stylenation.ie/ & virtual cinema. And I haven't been completely absent from the podcasting & music & filmmaking buzz either!

But I just wanted to post a message as I have started a new podcast... this time there's really no talk and all music. Basically it's a weekly mixtape of 10 songs that just happen to float my boat that week. It's called Love Action Luvs Friday Mixes! And as the name suggests, it's posted on tinterwebs every Friday morning.

You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes here... or you can just go directly to the blog just here: http://loveactionluvs.blogspot.com Hey, enjoy! We miss ya!

In The Lebanon...

who are we?

I know Culture Sluts is not a political blog or podcast, but it's one soapbox that I have to stand on, and I feel I've got a few comments I need to get off my chest.

I have personally found myself affected by the goings-on in Lebanon. One of my best friends was there to study and found herself in the middle of conflict. You can read her story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13862665/

Since she returned home safely to LA, ridden with guilt about the friends and family she left behind, she has been updating her blog regularly. It's definitely worth checking out: http://beirutmonamour.blogspot.com Through some of her posts I came across this cartoonist who is currently in Beirut as well and has updating his blog and his Flickr with his drawings. I cannot help but feel completely sick about what is going on over there. And feel completely helpless, as an American, because my government has decided that they are going to step back from the matter and not help innocent civilians. It's disgusting.

podcasting army required for Darklight Festival

Hey all, the 2006 Darklight Festival is just around the corner - taking place in Temple Bar the weekend of June 22nd!

The ENTIRE event will be recorded and podcast via the Darklight blog. In order for everything to run smoothly I'm looking for a small podcasting army to help out with recording. These would be volunteer positions, but in addition to great podcasting experience, it would give you free entry to the various Darklight Events taking place over the weekend.

if you're interested, or would like more information, send me a message, or email me at jessie-at-wildlight.tv

darklight.ie

Cheers! - Jessie
