The Friday DrinkPod Download

In putting together today's DrinkPod I came across something that made me absolutely giddy. Now, I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to music and art; I have no idea what's "new" on "the scene." But today I found this online magazine that I'm going to go ahead and assume is new. Trampoline House is a media company based in Brooklyn and their online magazine is just about one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I mean, it's really cool. Like, Time Inc. better watch it's ass cool. It has a slick, cheeky interface and covers local music, art, writing and more. I always get excited to see DIY pubs like this (Ken Carlson's The Comedians has me over the moon lately, as you know.) Vanguard magazines like AdBusters and Stop Smiling, have reset the bar for integrity in editorial content at the same time that the larger publishers are weeding out the remaining old-school editors who prize real content over marketing synergy. So seeing these scrappy little publishing entrepreneurs coming up with their own way of bringing their passion to a waiting audience using the medium of journalism...well that's just about enough to make a girl whip up some biscuits and send them over to Brooklyn with a Thank You note on nice stationary.

And now your DrinkPod...enjoy!
