New Digital SPIN Magazine Features Vampire Weekend

Download the new digital Spin Magazine edition here.

The new digital edition is being promoted on Myspace via ads featuring Vampire Weekend who happensthe grace the digital cover as well.

In all honesty I really hate these digital versions of magazines & newspapers. Can't they just do what the New York times has done and place all the content on the website. Nice simple searchable content with banner ads, photos and mp3s. I hate these pdfs.

Starting Line Takes A Break

The Starting Line have announced that they are taking a break, but I am pretty sure the fans took a break from the band a long time ago. How did they go from this:


A poppy, trendy, teen, tween pop punk band


To A


Band that looks to be fronted by Jerry Stiller


The "Slow Jerk"


I almost died laughing

New Video: Janet Jackson "Rock With U"


I swear this girl has not aged a bit since the 90's maybe even the 80's

Team Genius and their geeky bravado


It was a boring winter when Drew Hermiller enlisted his brother Chad and their friend Scott to form G-Whiz. Their nerd-core dreams were interrupted by a cease-and-desist order from a band by the same name on the West Coast. An identity crisis ultimately led to the formation of Team Genius. Erin Griffith and Emma Firth both joined in 2007 (adding a much needed feminine element to this boys’ club), contributing their skills in keys and vocals respectively. Comparable to the energy of The National, Team Genius bursts with its own brand of geeky bravado and poppy, earnest resonance from the Ohio heartland. Team Genius were the nail-biting, hand-standing kids you sat next to in Algebra class, only now they're waging a pop culture battle armed with idiot-proof lyrics and an ear full of sound.
