SPIN article on barbershop quartets now online!

I blogged about my SPIN article on barbershop quartets last week, and have since gotten a bunch of e-mails from barbershoppers asking where they could read the article for free.  (Barbershoppers are generally a thrify bunch — at the Nashville convention last summer, I remember seeing an hour-long line for the complimentary shuttle bus while a row of empty taxis idled nearby.)

Well, their prayers have been answered — the article is now live at SPIN.com.  Use the widget below to get there, or just click here.

(Side note: I love the extras SPIN puts in its digital version, like links to the iTunes songs and MySpace profiles of the bands — quartets, in this case — mentioned in its articles.  Web-only magazine content can be gimmicky, but in the case of a music magazine, being a click away from the song you’re reading about is actually pretty useful.)
