We are looking for volunteers who live in cities where the Posies will be playing this fall in the US to put up posters etc for the upcoming tour. (Check their schedule here and see if they’re coming near you!)
At the moment, we do not need people for Seattle, Los Angeles & San Francisco.
If you are interested, send your name & location to streetteam@theposies.net.
Thanks!
Jonathan Krop (atomicpopmonkey.com) is creating a site for Big Star and while it is still in progress, there are 30 second clips of all the songs on the new record In Space, as well as the album cover.
Check it out at bigstartheband.com.
The Posies will be shooting a video for ‘Conversations’ this Thursday (the 14th) in Seattle, and they are looking for extras. They will not be able to pay you, but a hot meal will be provided!
If you fit any of these descriptions (or know someone who does), e-mail a photo to casting@worthyent.com.
– Asian man and woman, both 40+ yrs old
– Hispanic man, 20-40 yrs old
– African American man, 40+ yrs old
– Two caucasian women 60 + yrs old
To go along with the relaunch of the site before the new album’s release, I have created a forum. It’s not actually up and running currently, as I’m not sure how to format it. Right now I’m just looking for suggestions from those who would be interested in a forum… if you are, register here: http://theposies.net/forum and give your opinion.
In addition to just basic sections for the band etc, I’m thinking of forums for discussing the new album, and reviews of the upcoming tour, for example.
Thank you in advance!
Rykodisc‘s page for the Posies is up, including the new biography and a photo. In addition, Every Kind Of Light (a larger look at the cover) can be pre-ordered for $17.

The deadline of February 2 was pushed forward, and Andrew has decided to stop taking orders for the shirts as of tonight, as there are enough to print in all three mediums.
The last day Andrew will be taking requests for the shirt is February 2nd, which is this coming Wednesday, so if you’d like one, the information is in the update below.
Currently, there are enough requests for one run (as of yesterday, the total is 29), and he will be sending out a mass mailing to everyone who is interested after he is done recieving orders.
Andrew Paffendorf and a friend have re-created the Archies shirt design from the Amazing Disgrace tour, and are willing do another run of the design if there are enough requests for it. The shirt would be around $10, and for no profit. Jon Auer is fine with this; in fact is on the list to recieve one.
If you are interested, e-mail Andrew at apaffendorf[at]dmp[dot]com with the following information, and he will be keeping everyone informed –
First Name (at least):
E-mail:
Country:
A Vote For A Medium Type (Ringer, White T, Longsleeve):
Size:
Quantity:
They need an order of 24 to do it (currently at 9), and if 48 people are interested, they will be able to make the shirt in two mediums.
Info about the design – “It was redrawn off of a grainy picture of someone wearing it. So some intricate details of the original may be missing.
The original used 24 colors ($$$) we used 16. Basically a screen per color got expensive for us. We subbed in a few things and it came out great.”
One ground rule! This is for fans only, and cannot end up on Ebay. Buyers would be limited to a quantity of 4.
From Jon, as posted by Michelle to the dear23 list:
Hey there, y’all…
I wanted to let you know that WWW.JONAUER.COM is up and running as of today!
Feel free to check it out and tell all your friends that the seemingly
impossible has finally happened.
Let there be light! Pigs do fly and hell definitely can freeze over…
And but of course me and mine wish all of you and yours a very happy holiday
season as well…
Cheers,
Jon
Happy birthday to Ken Stringfellow!
