From The Desk Of Marshall Crenshaw: Ione And Me, Part One

Marshall Crenshaw certainly knows how the music business works—or, in the case of many artists, doesn’t work. But Crenshaw is now waving goodbye to the traditional system, as the platinum-selling Grammy and Golden Globe nominee has decided to ditch the middle man and put out an EP subscription vinyl/download series.

Crenshaw will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.
