Spin and Car and Driver: A Comparison

Fans of the defunct music periodical to receive auto mag instead

The world may not be ending today, but Spin’s existence as a print magazine is. The Buzzmedia-owned indie music title, which reduced its frequency earlier this year before dropping its November/December issue, announced that it would stop publishing a print edition with the September/October 2012 issue and serve out subscribers' orders with, oddly, Car and Driver.

The substitution of Hearst’s automotive title for an indie music magazine seems like a head scratcher, to say the least. (Meanwhile, former Spin subscribers are already taking to Twitter to vent about the change.)
