Radiohead, Wilco Members on Neil Finn's New Record
SPIN.com's Best of the Week, November 3-9
No doubt about it, this week belonged to newly-minted President-Elect Barack Obama. But that doesn't mean the music world lay dormant: Fall Out Boy, Smashing Pumpkins, and the Decemberists all kicked off their respective U.S. tours, while the Killers treated fans to new tracks in London.

Considering his not-so-nice comments in SPIN's October issue, it's safe to assume that Oasis' Noel Gallagher isn't exactly Radiohead's biggest fan. And now, after constant comparisons to the art-rock titans, the singer/songwriter is lashing out once again -- with the band's sound in his crosshairs.

SPIN.com's Best of the Week, October 13-19
This week we launched an all-new daily feature on SPIN.com -- an opinionated (and humorous) editors' blog. And SPIN editors certainly had a lot on their minds: Against Me!'s live performance, Feist's influence on childrens' musical tastes, Oasis' staying power, MGMT's seriousness (of lack thereof), and more -- but thankfully, Joe the Plumber isn't included.
