Preferred B Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I found it yesterday at University Book Store. I love that they recreated the family photo from the 2000 issue of Spin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 would be amazing if someone could post scans. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 I checked two different Borders, two different Jewel stores, Walgreens, and CVS in the days since VC people have said they have found theirs and had no luck. Either they no longer carry Spin (most cases) or had the issue with Prince out (Jewel). I've also had no luck finding this in the Northwest burbs. I half wonder if nearly every Chicago area Spin has been diverted to the Loft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.lo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I can't find it!!!been to 3 drug stores, gas stations, Walmart... dammit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I got my copy from Target. Almost missed it ,though, as it was in the very back of the rack and partially covered by another mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I found it yesterday at University Book Store. I love that they recreated the family photo from the 2000 issue of Spin. Is that the Sears portrait-esque picture? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't think so ... are you thinking of the band photo? This is one of Jeff, Susan, Spencer, and Sammy. They put 2000 and 2009 versions side by side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I just bought a copy yesterday at the freakin' airport of all places. Ok article, was expecting a little more in-depth look into W(TA) than a rehash of Wilco history with some stories of Tweedy's home life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just picked up a copy from Barnes & Noble. Article was pretty high in cliched content, fell just short of saying that Wilco rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo. Great photos, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco2332 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was finally able to find it at a Wegmans grocery store today, it was partially hidden but Jeff just has one of those faces you know haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
insideoutoflove Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I’m not holding out a lot of hope of finding a copy down here in NZ. I’m thinking about resorting to e-Bay. Desperate times.I'm in the same boat...wouldn't resort to ebay though. It'll find us eventually, I'm sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.lo Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 whew, found mine at the new mega Walmart. and... the girl at the checkout made a face at Jeff's picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Just picked up a copy from Barnes & Noble. Article was pretty high in cliched content, fell just short of saying that Wilco rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo. Great photos, though.The "rose from the ashes" line has to include "seminal alt-country group" when describing UT or it doesn't count. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcroach Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 whew, found mine at the new mega Walmart. and... the girl at the checkout made a face at Jeff's picture. My wife bought me a copy at the local mega grocery. She said that the check out boy's reaction was "Wilco? Isn't he dead yet?" Ahhh......Ok. Let's count up what's wrong with that sentence..... EDIT: Whooo! that was my 500th post! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 The "rose from the ashes" line has to include "seminal alt-country group" when describing UT or it doesn't count. "Jeff Tweedy rose from modest, humble beginnings. His father worked on a railroad, his family literally ate coal for years at a time. As a boy, he formed a connection with Jay Farrar, a bond of musical kindred spirts seeped in moonshine whiskey and carved in oak and sycamore. Since Belleville, Illinois lacked electricity, running water, and received its news through smoke signals, all the boys could do after school was play guitar and dream of forming a band that critics would write idiotic prose about. Their musical bond with Mike Heidorn forged the beginnings of Uncle Tupelo in a shower of iron ore sparks, punk rock sweat and steam. After Heidorn's departure and Jay and Jeff's fractious parting of ways, shattering the American dream and causing a fissure in the fabric of spacetime, the seminal alt-country group Uncle Tupelo was pulverized and grinded down to a pile of ashes and tiny metal shavings. The reanimated Tweedy, Stirratt, Coomer and Johnston rose up from the ashes thanks in part to the level-24 spell-casting abilities of Tony Margherita. Though he has completely regained his humanity, Tweedy occasionally still coughs up an ashball." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got mine at the Wegmans in Ithaca. It must be store policy to hide it way in the back, because that's where I found it, too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 i love how modest the boys room looks. Besides the Who poster did anyone recognize who else the boys have represented on their wall? I couldn't find any other bands, but two things caught my eye:1) How few CD's he has. I'm assuming that he has a bizillion mp3's, but still...2) the rug - did that persian rug get retired from stage duty and end up on his floor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm supposed to have a Spin subscription because I got a ticket to Bonnaroo. Why didn't I get this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Spin has a free subscription to their Digital Edition here: http://digital.spin.com/spin/200907/?u1=texterity Click on the link, then click on Free Subscription in the upper left hand corner to subscribe. It doesn't look like it has the August issue online yet, but you can see the past couple of years - pretty cool. As The Dude pointed out, you can get it as a digital issue. I read another article the other day about the demise of music magazines. I wonder if they have cut back on distributing. Which is odd, as I see Spin everywhere, particularity in supermarkets.
