from today's Times, on the new dadrock mag Alan Light's putting out - The first issue features durable, adult-friendly performers like Sting, Ryan Adams and Robert Plant in a pure music format, one that avoids the broader pop culture sensibilities of more established magazines like Rolling Stone, owned by Wenner Media, and Vibe, owned by Vibe/Spin Ventures. Tracks pays little heed to of-the-moment bands like The Rapture and Killing Joke that are a staple of Spin.

I didn't realize Vibe and Spin were part of the same family

My head is totally spinning re: that Killing Joke reference.

Who wrote that article? Someone should contact him and ask him what the basis for mentioning Killing Joke was...
