I've been holding on to this news for a few days but I am now the associate editor at SPIN magazine. Holy shit, I'm really excited!
I'll still do some freelance writing for other publications about movies, comics, and other pop culture-related stuff (just not music).
If you've never heard @TheeSacredSouls, I highly recommend this group. I got the chance to interview them for @SPIN and this band is terrific.
