I got a free subscription to SPIN after last year's Roo. On more than one occasion I almost called to cancel because the magazine was so bad that it wasn't even worth the effort to take out of the mailbox and throw away.
(Of course I am not a fan of most of the bands that they talk about in there, but it's a great read for Indie Pop fans I guess.)

I'm not a huge fan and sometimes barely know any of the artists they talk about in some articles........but i'll take a free music magazine subscription anytime. One of the last articles was a huge thing about Prince and the Purple rain anniversary with a free mix of Prince covers available for download. And they've covered a few bands I do like....plus the reviews are good for gathering more than one opinion.
I generally like Spin. They had a good read about M.I.A. last year and a decent one a few months ago on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The photography is pretty rad sometimes.

There's usually like ONE thing in that whole rag that is worth reading to me. Like this month they have an article on The Dead Weather. And the last couple of months they had Dave Gahan and Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. My stepdaughter who is into Heavy Metal looks at it and just goes "Oooooh. Yuck."
I also like the ads for Festies. I look at the lineup at Rothbury and Gathering of The Vibes and drool.
Yeah at least it doesnt have the Jonas Bros or Adam Lambert on the cover like the last two Rolling Stone issues did. Makes me so mad. I get one and Dylan is on the cover and its so cool I wanna frame it. Then the next two are Adam Lambert and JOBROS. Talk about lame sauce. That being said... Spin is a decent addition to having a Relix subscription but definitely not enough coverage for me on its own. Maybe if I liked Paramore, Panic @ The Disco, or Flyleaf....
They give these out every year I never got the full year though they send have sent it a few months then that was it. If you want a good magazine and it isn't that expensive is Relix.. It is based around shows and none of the pop culture crap

ehhh they put the people on the cover who will attract the most attention from mainstream music fans and possibly urge them to buy it.
Inside the pages though they usually have decent articles and reviews. The last few magazines had great articles on Conor Oberst and Steve Earle and a few other cool topics. David Fricke rocks too....he's an awesome writer and his knowledge of music is large.

yo PASTE Magazine is where it is at. I did the free SPIN and get Rolling Stone, Relix and Hittin' the Note. All are good in their own way but I am telling you PASTe does it right consistently. just pay no mind to what they called last years best album (She and Him)

I'd say Paste and Relix are both great. But I let my Paste subscription run out and just renewed and they've dropped the CD, so now you have to download the songs. Also they are on the edge of going under, resorting to asking for donations.

That may be but when I grab for a magazine to roll on I dont want the Jonas Bros looking up at me the whole time.
