Is SPIN really circling the drain?

Wait what in the living fuck at this Marilyn Manson story. I have never heard this either. This is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

"The LAPD" between "The Jim Rose Circus" and "Courtney Love's BFFs" on a 50 Worst Moments Of The '90s list is some "more buzzfeed than buzzfeed" shit

i can't believe they forgot "Lump," genocide in the Balkans and the Butthole Surfers suing Touch & Go.

lol

Julianne otm throughout tho

Ramanah? Is this something SPIN just made up or was this already out there. Never heard this word in my life.

Me neither. I've gotten most of my friends to call it "Reer." It doesn't really deserve a 3-syllable term.

ive heard it called reray

ooh! that's a good one.

the more r's the better.

I kinda think some of the Jerky Boys stuff still holds up really well and is not really in poor taste at all.

i've heard of 'ramanah' somewhere, probably only in the past year, but i can't remember where

I think it was an Ariel Pinkism?

jerky boys is all time

how many friends does crunge have

what is the opposite of "life-affirming"? b/c literally this worst of the 90's thing is literally the most depressing thing i've ever literally read

Life negating?

missed ilx joke opportunity

The slide show arrows haven't worked with my browser since 2 or 3 months ago. Is it because I use Chrome?

i was having this issue too, you gotta turn off adblock to make it work

oh lame... good call, it stopped working around the top i installed adblock.

around the time*

update your adblock

I don't really get why Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was one of the four vids singled out at the VMAs. yeah, Newsted's backing vocal harmonies were shit. There's a reason Metallica didn't generally do 'em prior to the Black album. did anyone really give a fuck? if anything, the goofy sound quality of their instruments was worse.

I remember it being a thing, but it was like 20 years ago, so

the "More Human Than Human" thing is funny though. Cuz I remember staying up specifically to watch that, and thinking it was awesome, and just listened again and was like wow, that did sound like dogshit! like a record slowing down.

I thought "Vibeology" was the shame of '91 VMAs.

that video set me on a quest to watch super early Metallica vids late last night so I guess it all worked out

i'm sure the top 50 records slideshow is wonderful, but since i can only advance one slide into it i'll never know

Do you have ad block installed?

Oh Spin website, never change. Not working for me either. Just asked if someone could post in the 2013 lists thread.

I have never actually been able to advance more than one slide on any list they've ever done. After a while it was such a pain in the ass that I just stopped reading the website entirely.

Do you have ad block installed?

yeah that fixed it, thanks. though it's still absurd that i need to disable abp given that nothing is actually popping up.

otm

print magazine goes web-only, fails to understand how their readers use the web shocker

Fucking venture capitalists

Ott warned us but we wouldn't listen

The slideshow is actually just a rework of the powerpoint they made for the shareholders meeting

SPOILER: Kanye told them he was the best and SPIN agreed.

I read this whole thread today.

how many circles of the drain did u count

There's a lot of weirdly prescient shit in here tbh

Still surprises me that I'm the one who started it...almost a decade ago.

And it circled the drain a lot longer than I thought it would.

Disable your ad block, now ditto your sad block (my Sting voice).

Could be a scheme. Force the readers to see the ads if they want to view the mag's most popular features.

King Ad Block, that is my name

It's too bad the site doesn't tell you that adblock is interfering. I thought it was just broken.
