TMBG are guest editing Magnet Magazine's website this week. I believe this is the first post, a contribution from Linnell. Not quite as lovely as his blogging at Spinner, but still nice.

I've just enjoyed watching TMBG's wonderfully energetic TV performance:

Follow Jeanna's remarkable journey as she travels the United States by foot.
