Another Letter to SPIN
this entry brought to you by radiohead, "go to sleep"
Dearest Spin,
Baby, I know we've had our problems in the past. When we first met, 10 years ago, it was a match made in heaven. We thought the same, we cared about the same stuff; we were perfect. I thought it would last forever. Then, about in 2000, we started drifting. No, drifting isn't the word. Fighting is more like it. For some reason you were pretending to like the shittiest stuff (Creed was one of the most important bands of 2000? What the fuck?) and you were acting like you were trying to drive me away.
But then, you came crawling back to me, with your Foo Fighters cover, bearing a gift of a Foo Fighter's sampler for One By One (with an exclusive track!), and I hesitantly took you back. God, I've been so happy since we got back together. I feel fulfilled. Happy. Satisfied. You haven't let me down.
Anyway, this letter is just a token of appreciation. You put Nine Inch Nails on your cover again, when every other magazine was bothering with stupid crap. And then inside, there was a feature article on Queens of the Stone Age (who really deserve their own cover feature, but having NIN and QOTSA in the same magazine was still freaking awesome). I haven't been happier in months. And I just wanted you to know I appreciate the little things you do to make up for all those years ago.
Hugs and kisses,
CRS
