I can. It was a deep red cover with a picture of Flea jumping in the air with a flourescent green mohawk in the "Mother's Milk" era. I was in 9th grade and, actually, my girlfriend gave it to me. So, I guess I didn't even buy it.

Chuck Eddy IN ?
Is Chuck the only person that can save SPIN?
What about this as a "dream team" CHUCK & GEETA as a new management editor duo at Spin ?
Chuck ensuring METAL/ Rock coverage, GEETA ensuring the best ELECTRONIC coverage

Spin (online, I hope) conflates Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein:
CORIN TUCKERDates: October 7-29 Price:$16Opening Acts: Golden Bears, Hungry Ghost Why You Should Go: SPIN named Sleater-Kinney's 1997 release Dig Me Out one of the 125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years—and it's not like all that talent just evaporated since the trio went on hiatus in 2006. The Portland, OR-based singer-guitarist—who has been moonlighting as an actor (she starred alongside the Shins' James Mercer in 2009's Some Days Are Better Than Others), comedienne (she performs with SNL's Fred Armisen as ThunderAnt), and blogger (for NPR's Monitor Mix)—will debut songs off her debut solo album, 1,000 Years (out October 5), which she has called her "middle-aged mom record." Yeah... if by "mom" you mean one of music's fiercest feminists and guitar goddesses who happens to have two kids.

In the old days it would have been in print, and Kathleen Hanna would have set fire to a copy on stage. I miss the old days.
― dlp9001, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
In the old days there's no way it would have made it to print, because five editors would have looked it over before it reached the printers.

in the old days they would have gone 'wtf is a blogger?' and waited way too long to establish any kind of web presence by which point it was too late and some schmuck in chicago could run circles around them.

Oh no, according to google the Bikini Kill/Magazine Burning thing has vanished from history completely. How sad.

I hate these reviews where the writer presumes the audience is some fifty year old ignoramus. Like some fat suburban guy is going to get off his butt to see Corin Tucker.
I have nothing against feminism but this preview tells me nothing about the music. I don't go to a show to get a political lecture.

Yeah, I quit buying this a long time ago, but recently subscribed to it via my Nook because of a deal for 50 cents an issue. But, tbh, after the awful Skrillex cover this week, its not even worth the 13 seconds to download anymore.

i'm not sure if SPIN will ever have much if any presence on the web tho
"if any"? They do have a fairly frequently updated site now, but its a nightmare because of all the damn click-through listicle shit.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
SPIN has done a horrible job preserving its history. You gotta go to Google Books to read an old story.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
sorry, i didn't mean "presence" as in, like, they literally have a web site that is updated. i mean in terms of hits and/or people going "i read this thing on spin.com today..."

like, just hire ppl that draw traffic. there's no big trick to it
I've never written for Spin, and I can't even remember the last time I read it (10 years ago, maybe?) but this is bad news for a lot of writer friends of mine
