The guy who wrote the cover story on Marilyn Manson is my friend Jonathan Ames. He is fabulous and you should check out his books. I would recommend What's Not To Love? or My Less Than Secret Life to start out with, and if you want to check out his website, it is www.jonathanames.com. Just a shamelss plug for a great writer friend of mine.
If you would stop and notice that we number every day But allow the many moments left uncounted slip away You don't have to count them, just enjoy them one by one Then things would take a different hue and sparkle in the sun - Phish

I actually really really enjoyed the article - it was written well and very interesting to read
It was a good article, but I have to say that if there was a little research done, one could have found that Kings of Leon are RAWK stars... Parties, late nights, girls girls girls, rock and roll music, drugs, etc. They live the lifestyle and are very much keeping the rockstar image and everything it entails alive

I think there are plenty of rockstars out there and a crappy publication like Spin just doesnt have the foresight to see a good star if it was staring them in the face...

I don't think I've gotten mine yet... how sad, I'm interested to read this article on Manson.
I read an article somewhere the other day that compared The White Stripes to Led Zeppelin. Can't remember the name of the magazine I read it in though... it was really good though.

I got the e-mail, and then forgot all the hell about it.
But if I did get them, I'd probably neglect to read them since I prefer to read things on a computer monitor instead of paper. Did I miss a deadline to take advantage of this? If not, I should pass them on to some friends.

Got my Spin just the other day. The beauty of this free subscription is that it comes just when my free subscription to Rolling Stone is about to end (got that from DMB @ Randalls Island last year ).
Personally, I don't care too much about music magazines. I think written album reviews are nearly pointless. Effervescent guitar work? Antidisestablishmentary keyboard solos? Just tell me if it's worth picking up or not! I'm also not a gossip monger, so pics of Kid Rock and Pamela just don't do it for me (well... OK... maybe Pamela... ). Other than that, I dig the counter-culture pieces, but sometimes it feels forced in RS (40 years and we're still sticking it to the man, maaaaan!).

Haha! That's a good way to look at it.
I got mine about four days ago. I read the Tommy Lee helicopter story while on the crapper, then skimmed through the rest and threw it away. That magazine doesn't do it for me, I already have a subscription to RS, and I usually end up reading all of that. SPIN just isn't that well put together.
Plus, I absolutely hate Marilyn Manson, I hate him! I wish that guy would self mutilate himself to the point of obliteration. I know that's mean, but seriously.....f*ck that guy.

What am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to vibe!? karma for quoting office space!

Speaking of Office Space...
do you think it's mandatory for every workplace to have a faulty printer/copier/headache-giver?? At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but I really think every office printer has a beating coming.

YESSSS!! Someone noticed! ;D
karma for karma!
ps--we have not one but TWO faulty printers here. DOUBLE TROUBLE!
i'd just like to say that i'm an IT guy here in Norfolk, VA and our company had me look at an old HPLaserjet4 not long ago. I walked up and the display screen said "PC LOAD LETTER". i looked at it and said, "PC LOAD LETTER, WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!" then i proceeded to snicker to myself for about 5 minutes while i looked up how to actually fix it.

I have gotten random Karma since coming home from Bonnaroo, thanks to the random Karma givers! I haven't gotten my Spin yet, hopefully it will come in soon.
