Rating: - Ballad of a middle-aged hipster
Still clinging desperately to outmoded ideals of hipster credibility. I'm not inviting him to my parties anymore.

Spin used to have a column written entirely in rap slang. I thought it was pretty stupid back then. Now I realize that was the most cutting edge the magazine ever got.

This magazine sucks. My first clue was the stupid statement on the front of this edition, which pairs "The Strokes" with the statement "...coolest band on earth".

That is absolutely ridiculous. Go listen to some Ween, or any of the numerous Mike Patton projects... that's some good music.

Once upon a time I, being a metal fan, glanced a 'Spin' and saw that they had a list of the top 30 best and most influential metal albums ever. But to my horror, the list was abound with disgraceful nu-metal schlock and devoid of any true metal spriit at all! He ll, they included albums by KoRn ('Follow the Leader' none the less), Limp Bizkit, System of a Down, and - the greatest sin as far as I am concerned - Linkin Park. Such a disgraceful piece of "metal" literature is littered through out this terrible piece of rubbish! O.K. they have no idea what metal is about, but what about their more mainstream views? After reading the interviews (most quite boring) and reviews (how could you people know so little about music, you're professionals. he ll I know more about rap and indie rock than you id iots), I have come to the conclutsion that this is perhaps the worst non-metal music magazine (because I mean 'Hit Parader' and 'Circus' know less about metal than these clows but have the gall to call themselves "metal") I have ever read. Sloppy music journalism in all of its aspects, I wouldn't even use it as a firestarter or toilet paper for that matter.

that kisses The Strokes' ass more than The Rolling Stone.
Please don't subscribe to this. I guess if you'd like a good magazine for your bathroom, go ahead and waste a $20 on it, but think about how many long distance minutes that $20 gives you? You could call a cool record store guy and ask HIM about what's cool to wear and to listen to, and that would cost you less than subscribing to any magazine like Spin.

Now, The Spin Doctors were good.
Their first album anyway.

I never saw that movie, Spun, but I heard it was good.

Have you heard U2's song "Lady With The Spinning Head"? Good tune.

"I'm spinning in infinity, Amen, Hallelujah". I think that's how that lyric goes on Paul Simon's song, "Call Me Al".

Oh wow. You know what I just realized? The word "spin" backwards is NIPS!

Hell, this changes everything!

Buy this frickin magazine immediately. Coolest magazine ever.

Nips.
HA!
