I miss the Spin I used to get. Having a subscription to this crap magazine is like being in a seperated marriage where she's getting all your money and your getting screwed.

Forgive my ignorance as i'm currently living in exile (Australia) and it takes forever for Spin to come here. I've only just picked up that sad excuse of a June edition with Jack White on the cover and after 2 seconds into it I was ready to put it thru a paper shredder....it sucks SO BAD i had to keep checking the cover to make sure I had the right magazine. What's with all the party sections?!?!? If I wanted to read a raver magazine I would have bought one, not wasted my money on that piece of crap! WHAT HAPPENED TO SPIN?

That said, Pemberworst is superworst and I'm glad he got canned. Beyonce on the cover of SPIN? Some say an even greater atrocity than when Matchbox 20 was on the covs. Not b/c she's not coverworthy, but since when has SPIN been competing with VIBE for cover stories? No buzz.

I picked one up in the subway with, lo and behold, fucking Beyonce on the cover. Great. Then I read a letter about how much this one tard respects Good Charlotte, and they were talking about the singer shopping with The Game. What? It's like Rolling Stone, but without the models all over the goddam place. Then I flipped a few more pages, and they had a People Magazine-esque Most Hot Stars or some bullshit. There was even a sidebar with an IM interview, complete with "LOL!" and "what r u wearing". By the time I left the subway, I noticed that the magazine wasn't in my hand anymore, and I didn't care.

I recently came across an ancient issue while doing some cleaning up, and was astonished at what an atrocity the magazine has become. Remember when Spin had real stories instead of soundbites? Remember when it had enough pages to qualify as a magazine instead of a pamphlet? Spin is AWFUL.
