SPIN.com Redesign: Upgrade or Downgrade?

March 5, 2008

in publishing

I just logged on to SPIN.com and was met with a whole lot of change–looks like they launched a redesign of the site. Much more modular, much more dynamic. But is it better? What do you think?

I always turn to the magazine that’s owned by Maxim for my music news. I just want a layout of Meg White washing a car in a bikini.

I haven’t looked at an issue of Spin since the 90s…I think U2 was on the cover with their PopMart thing a-brewing.

You do not have to visit spin.com in order to have some hipster music blog, cunt.

Spin is not owned by the same company as Maxim. Blender is the sibling music mag of Maxim.

Oh, in a related note, seems as though Maxim magazine likes to make up reviews w/out listening to the actual albums: http://www.aversion.com/news/news_article.cfm?news_id=10239

what’s the point of calling someone a cunt? esp when you dont even own up to doing it.

I used to enjoy Spin a lot, but recently it is slowly becoming just like Rolling Stone. Most of the Spin’s writers jumped ship and now write for Harp magazine, which I really like a lot. Harp reviews about a hundred albums an issue. The current editor of Spin magazine was the former editor for Blender magazine, owned by Maxim, which explains their recent downturn. I guess you can’t blame them though, their subscribers are going up. It’s all about the bottom line.
