Domino (2012) Aside from Lightships being a boss band name and Electric Cables being a righteous title, what this hot number really has going for it is that it's the first solo outing from Teenage Fanclub bassist/co-vocalist/co-songwriter Gerald Love, the singer with the really soft, gentle voice that's usually juxtaposed with Norman Blake's more direct, pleading hooks.

Mikael Wood reviews the soundtrack to Jason Reitman's new film, "Young Adult," which stars Charlize Theron. The soundtrack is full of low-effect alt-rock acts such as Teenage Fanclub, the Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr.. Listening to these songs one after the other -- as they might have been presented on a handmade mixtape from the mid-1990s -- you think about the shift in tone that's taken place in ...

Naming Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque the No. 1 album of the year in 1991 over Nirvana's Nevermind (which actually finished third behind R.E.M.'s Out of Time ) was perhaps the most notorious and ironic decision in the history of SPIN — except for the time that weird old stoner in a purple suit (Quincy Jones) and his koo-koo friends paid Bob Guccione Jr. $42 million to buy the magazine in 1997 ...

Details of the "Young Adult" soundtrack have arrived. Jason Reitman's follow-up to "Up In The Air," his fourth feature centers on a damaged and divorced young adult fiction writer (Charlize Theron) who returns to her home in small-town Minnesota, looking to rekindle a romance with her ex-boyfriend, who is now married with kids.

And they are all the more enigmatic precisely because they have been so inconsistent. Even though Everything Flows, their first single, forms part of what you might call their ...

Back in 1991, Spin famously named Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque the album of the year. But don't worry, the magazine isn't giving us a Bandwagonesque 20th anniversary tribute album this month, amazing as that might be. This month's issue of Spin is devoted to the 20th anniversary of another album released in 1991: Nirvana 's Nevermind . To go along with the issue, Spin is also offering a free ...
