Last Saturday I bought the October 2003 issue of Spin<\/em> for a buck at Half Price Books. Dashboard Confessional\u2019s Chris Carrabba graces its cover<\/a>, and it also includes articles featuring Outkast, The Polyphonic Spree and Jack Osbourne. As someone who received this same issue in the mail as a 13-year-old, it\u2019s quite a mind-boggling thing to read.<\/p>\n

The concept of learning about music from the mail feels uncomfortably quaint now. But in the context of pre-MySpace internet, we had so much more time to find out about the music. In that era of mainstream \u201cindie,\u201d new artists and material came at a manageable clip \u2014 but they were also siphoned through a limited number of labels and means of conveyance. There\u2019s so much more ground to cover today. So my recommendation to you this week is to dig up a 15- or 20- or 40-year-old music magazine from a used book store whenever you have the chance. How far we\u2019ve come! And in that spirit, here are three Spin<\/em>-worthy tracks from this week.<\/span>\n
