phamosi'm pretty sure i neglected to discuss my absolute disgust with the most recent issue of spin magazine, the one where the editor of blender took over and turned it into an IDENTICAL copy of blender. the one that came with a notice that it was my second to last issue, making me sigh with relief. i was happy to find out that the editor was summarily sacked, which was totally the right thing to do.
my favorite part of the issue, other than the fact that the one decent (and by decent i mean sucky but at least somewhat interesting) story was actually a reprint of an article from the independent (which they had also done in the previous issue, which was already turning towards the pemberton dark side), was the ludicrously self-congratulatory article about pete doherty. the article wasn't actually about pete doherty, it was about how the editors of spin sent him a letter saying how worried they were about him. there was actually a picture of said letter. "pete, you're a genius, why are you killing yourself" blah blah. and then it turned out pete doherty loved the letter and took a picture of his thank-you note -- written in his own blood, of course. wow! maybe spin has decisively pointed him down the road to recovery! or else he really thinks they're wankers, which they are, and he rolled up the letter and used it to snort heroin.
