Ah, but back in the day when it was under the wing of the Penthouse empire
(and briefly thereafter)and was actually writing about Jandek and
underground artists, "Spin" was really quite very good.  After about 1990
or so, forget it - the mag's writers became obsessed with hip-hop and it
began a quick descent into becoming a delivery system for ads targeting
university students.
