Here comes that girl…
My buddy Mena did a schtick about her favorite Pixies Album over at The Morning News that I rather liked. Suddenly, several people I know, are contributing to this publication. Can anyone? Or do you have to be special?

Looks like they don’t take submissions from men. Sexism!

I’d like to know myself, James. It seems everyone and their brother knows about this publication. I’m curious as to how our friends ended up on board. Were they solicited? Did they submit on spec? Mena, chime in here anytime.

Want to write for them? Pitch them a story or article:

About my story: they pitched the idea to me and I wrote it. Why me? They use Movable Type and know me from that and dollarshort. Rosecrans (one of the editors) knew I was a Pixies fan and made the suggestion.
If you look at the site recently, you may get the impression that they really only like posting stories written by women. But, in total there are only five female-authored articles/stories. It seems as if they are just balancing things out, as of late. 🙂
It’s a great read.

Well that’s a relief. I’m thinkin’ a similar story needs to be done about my favorite Public Enemy Album. Bass in yo’ Face!
