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.

 

I heard Spin just laid off some people last month. I wasn't sad to see Blender die off, but I think I would miss Spin, especially since they gave Wilco some love. It was well worth me renewing my subscription for $15 for two years.

"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."

 

Awesome!
