Actually, amend that to ANYTHING in "Spin" magazine. It used to be the cutting edge back in its first few years, with excellent journalism (they picked up on the upcoming crack epidemic a couple of years before the mainstream media, and broke news about scandals in AIDS research in the mid-80s) and fine music tips (first heard about Jon Wayne, Hanatarash, Spacemen 3, Legendary Pink Dots et al in there). But starting about 1988-89, it started morphing into Rolling Stone mk.2, blew its cred, and then anything you ran into in there was almost always a harbinger of something awful. SO...if it's in "Spit"...uh..."Spin", you can be assured that it WILL disappoint, IMHO.
