SPIN December 2007

This month's SPIN is the best I have ever read! If you don't subscribe or have zero interest in actually reading it...here is the Cliff's Notes version.

Win Butler (of Arcade Fire) and Springsteen (no first name necessary) are simultaneously interviewed regarding both career and personal lives. They discuss influences, current music interests (The Boss listens to Rhianna!), their latest albums, popularity struggles and as the mag states 'the early days, the glory days, and the end of days.' Such good reading.

Major takeaway for me is Win's choice of gift to Bruce, a trio of three books:
Why I Write by George Orwell
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
All of which I hope to pick up by week's end.

Also in the issue:
Beth Ditto interview
Maynard James Keenan interview (!)
Radiohead album/new business model review
Awesome Holiday gift guide (hint hint)
Shia LaBeouf's musical taste/latest project (more interesting than you might think)
15 Songs You Need to Download NOW!!!!
Concert pictorial featuring
The Go! Team
The Hives
Crystal Castles

So, hope this inspires you to buy/subscribe. If not, borrow my copy because this is a must read. Peace.
