IAMSOUND got a chance to catch up with Jenny Eliscu for our latest installment of Leading Ladies, an ongoing series highlighting some of our favorite women in creative industries. Jenny is a contributing editor and music critic for Rolling Stone magazine for over a decade. For more on Jenny, you can tune into her wonderful show on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 35: Sirius XMU, Saturdays through Thursdays from 2 pm to 6 pm ET.
Where did you grow up and where do you currently reside?
I grew up in Queens, New York and I currently live in Brooklyn.
When and why did you decide that you wanted to work in the music industry?
I don't feel like I ever really decided to -- I just ended up here. My first music business experience was interning at CMJ in 1994. I was only a sophomore in college at the time and wasn't sure what I was going to do after graduation. But a friend told me I could get a free pass to CMJ's annual Music Marathon if I interned there, so I applied. Several months after I started there, I was encouraged to write a couple sample record reviews for their weekly publication, and soon thereafter I was contributing regularly. By early 1995 I had a job there as an editorial assistant, and I worked there until 1999, when I got a gig at Rolling Stone.
What does your typical weekday schedule look like?
I have weird hours because my job at SiriusXM requires me to tape my shows on weekends and evenings on certain days. So I work from home a few days a week and then go to our studio in midtown at various intervals the rest of the week.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I toyed with the idea of being a doctor or a teacher, when I was very young. But once I was in high school, I really wasn't sure anymore. Didn't quite figure it out until CMJ gave me a job and I realized that I could actually find a way to make a career out of my love for music and writing.
To date, what has been the biggest challenge for you in this industry? What do you find to be the most rewarding?
I feel like I haven't really faced very many major challenges, to be honest. Working hard and remaining passionate are ongoing challenges, but they are also their own rewards. Sometimes I feel like it's challenging to avoid lapsing into cynicism about the industry, the marketplace, even the artists themselves. But then I hear a great, interesting record that has found a perfect audience -- Tame Impala's new one, for instance -- and it reinforces my faith in the whole fucked up system.
What are your top 5 favorite records? Present or of all time?
Ugh. This is tough. These are just five favorites that represent my taste/sensibility.
1. Bob Dylan, Blood On The Tracks
2. Pavement, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
3. Dinosaur Jr., Bug
4. Bright Eyes, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
5. Beatles, Revolver
What’s your favorite venue and/or city to see a show?
Bowery Ballroom, NYC
Being as you work with many creatives, do you have a personal creative outlet you practice outside of work?
Does obsessively scouring the internet for Seinfeld gifs count?
Any advice to aspiring artist? Any advice to the veterans?
For aspiring artists I would say, Be yourself. Trust your instincts. Work harder than you ever thought possible. Be patient. Be realistic. Be passionate.
And last but not least, what's your favorite quote?
