Is SPIN really circling the drain?

That's my oil change coupon. I am not a total Luddite.

And I am ambivalent to Esquire however the wife doesn't want what she perceives to be sexist trash in the house.

Yet she married me. How odd.

what kinda a discount did you get

$18.99 which includes a tire rotation.

Nice!

Just got my check in the mail after I decided to send them my own angry letter.

$12.66.

I have no record of paying them anything after I spent $14.95 in May of 2011 so I cannot help but think I came out ahead in this deal.

Comment section trolls be BRUTAL over at SPIN yo

BuzzMedia now SpinMedia: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/business/media/as-spinmedia-web-publisher-aims-to-lift-smaller-sites.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

Spin, for example, has notched up its competition against Pitchfork since July, when Buzzmedia bought the magazine (and within weeks shut down its print edition). Spin’s 870,000 readers now closely challenge Pitchfork’s 1.1 million. But comScore’s figures show that visitors to Pitchfork spend more than quadruple the time as visitors to Spin.

great alternative albums of the 60s list imho!

:) thx man

That RuPaul feature killed, BTW.

I enjoyed the '60s list except for the fact that The Monks was ridiculously low and the stupid layout where you had to click it 100 times to see all of the list.

yeah the 60s list was fantastic

yeah i moaned a little bit about the oddness of that final VU writeup, but overall a very fun list.

Very much enjoyed the 60s list, could have been 5 times longer though.

yeah, sort of feel like it should be expanded into a book...
in other news, i received another copy of car & driver today.

did it have a "best cars of the 60s" feature?

underrated car

rare private press sedan

edition of 500 on the oldsmobile label

i'm on my second issue of Spin-replacing Esquire, haven't looked for interesting articles in it yet because i read too much of the first one and felt all douchey

great news. new spin has been killin it

I enjoyed this list

http://www.spin.com/articles/best-drummers-list-alternative-music/

finally spin magazine publishes a listicle about alt rock!

dave grohl greatest alternative drummer in the world

tony allen all the way up at #4 tho otm

Where did skrillex place?

ROLAND WAS TOOO LOOWW!!!

James Brown's drummer is the second-best "alternative music" drummer of all time, congrats.

Pardon me, drummerS

Imagine how awesome James Brown could have been if only he'd had Dave Grohl to drum for him.

It froze after I clicked from 100 to 99 and there was no way in hell I was going to click through 100 diff entries anyway.

c'mon, Spin.

#spoiler drummer from butt trumpet is #1

Yeah xp I couldnt get passed 97, kept sticking

Same here. Quickly bailed.

whiney has been pretty awol lately ain't he?

where's Nick Crowe?

drummer from Gay Dad robbed!

Damon Che Bio is inaccurate.

totally saw Neil Peart's omission from a mile away. didn't see Bill Bruford either. or Aynsley Dunbar. or Bryan St. Pere from Hum.

Chris Corsano is sick though... didn't expect him to be there.

#50 Orestes Morfin (Bitch Magnet, Walt Mink)

Awesome! Really cool to see him up so high. Had a nice chat with him after the final Bitch Magnet reunion show last year. He's in Tucson now and still performs and tours with Bill Plant Collective, Bored Spies and Sambalanço. Odd that in Joey Waronker's (#88) entry, they didn't list Walt Mink alongside Beck, as he did play with them many years longer than Orestes.

Budgie's entry should have mentioned his contribution to The Slits' Cut.

When I saw the headline I knew that they'd have a drum machine in there (like Skrillex in best guitarists) and I was hoping it was Roland. Thanks for not disappointing me, Spin.

In "alternative" drummers, though, come on, Brendan Canty should have been much higher.

When I saw the headline I knew that they'd have a drum machine in there

Yes, but I would've never expected them to associate it with Big Black.

unsure if whiney still look at this thread but... is there any easy way to check out the spin blogs? seems like e.g here - http://www.spin.com/blogs/no-trivia - isnt up to date

thx!
