I am a huge fan of The Posies, including the solo work of main men Ken Stringfellow & Jon Auer.  I received some news by way of the Posies Google Group (join here if you are interested) today that Ken Stringfellow is the guest editor for this week on Magnet Magazines website.  Magnet is a kick ass, wonderfully laid out music magazine with some great photography if you are at all into progressive new music.

Check out his posts at http://www.magnetmagazine.com/

Ken (now living in France) muses about the food, music, and film in his new euro-home.

If you scroll down a bit you’ll find posts from past guest editors like Tim Kasher from the band Cursive, Ben Lee, and Dean Wareham & Britta Phillips sounding off on the things that they are excited about.
