six months from now: whiney instates a new "full issue reviews only" policy
― this is funny u bitter dork (forksclovetofu), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:30 (fourteen years ago)
yeah but will more people buy Spin because of it? Or is it all about online clicks now?
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:36 (fourteen years ago)
maybe whiney could attest otherwise but i think most magazines are trying to think about how to survive beyond the quickly ending 'paper circulation era' and these changes are all about that
― Jean-Luc Gohard (some dude), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:39 (fourteen years ago)
like maybe they'd like to keep readership of the physical magazine from dropping more quickly to make the transition easier and more gradual, but nobody can possibly expect the number of sales/subscribers to ever go up again
― Jean-Luc Gohard (some dude), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:40 (fourteen years ago)
I will always prefer print mags myself but if everyone does go online eventually I really hope it's not in a half-arsed way like nme.com. Mags like Spin,Rolling Stone,NME etc have a fantastic archive of old reviews and articles that I all hope end up online, and if they do that along with the same amount of reviews Pitchfork puts up each day, then they could have the best sites on the internet. No doubt if that were to happen they would want some silly amount of subscription money though :(
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:46 (fourteen years ago)
isn't the full Spin archive on Google Books? or was that only for a minute

It's still there. Yesterday I was nosing around the 1998 issue with Natalie Imbruglia on the cover.

― Jean-Luc Gohard (some dude), Saturday, 14 January 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)
"Weingarten aims to be the watchdog of music criticdom, but his fierce contrarianism and bullshit-calling seem better suited for a freelancer or a voice on Twitter than a senior editor writing on the behalf of a major magazine"
