anyone seen the new SPIN? suprisingly, not too bad...well, maybe. their best 20 albums of the year include: #4: magnetic fields--69 love songs #7: flaming lips--soft bulletin #9: beck--midnite vultures #11:built to spill--keep it like a secret #16:promise ring (very emergency) AND rainer maria (look now look again) #17: wilco--summer teeth #18: sleater kinney--the hot rock (which i disagree with. i hate that album) of course, being Spin, they put Eminem at #20. Also, on their list of the ten best albums we didn't hear: godspeed, you black emperor! (slow riot..) bonnie prince billy and yes..."No Scrubs" for best single of the year. *mer*
