I must say I only started reading Spin recently and I'm so sad that it seems I've missed the boat alltogether. See if I apply for your internship now Chuck!Rent60https://www.blogger.com/profile/13706078253021182265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19138597.post-1152812228210533662006-07-13T13:37:00.000-04:002006-07-13T13:37:00.000-04:00Yeah, Spin's makeover was very ill-advised.

I had grown pretty disillusioned with it before then, and thankfully my subscription ended right before the change (my last issue was the surprisingly decent one with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the cover). I too subscribe to Blender, just because it usually offers trivia or snarky comments that just aren't found in other publications. I also like the little lyrics they have throughout the mag, and I tend to laugh at least once while reading it. As for Rolling Stone... well, I enjoy the "Get Your War On" strip, and yeah, the political stories are usually pretty good. But as far as any kind of music credibility, they just don't have it. If you're an independent release or a debut, you will never get more than three stars. Actually a lot of reviews are getting to be that way, across all the mags. About 85% of releases for a given month get the same score in the review, whatever the equivalent of three Rolling Stone stars is. Except NME. If I had long hair and a guitar, and captured a fart on vinyl, they would put me on the cover and give me a 9.<BR/><BR/>-BrendanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
