Leading up to Valentine's Day, love was certainly on tap this past week: Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore got engaged, the Mobius Band gave away a sonic love letter to their fans, and Trail of Dead showed some love to SPIN's new offices with a private performance. Meanwhile, the domestic abuse allegations against Chris Brown have us asking, "Where's the love?"

It's official: Following years of on-again, off-again dating, Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have gotten engaged. After Moore was spotted wearing an engagement ring, a friend of the actress and singer told Life and Style magazine, "She is so excited... It's been a whirlwind.

Valentine's Day is nine days away, but a few musicians already have love on the brain. Between the poetry, mixtapes, love songs, and lesbian fantasies (yes lesbian fantasies!) we've heard about this week, you'd think every day was February 14.

It's freezing outside, but here at SPIN.com HQ we're combating frostbite with hot new tracks courtesy of our favorite artists, including Justin Timberlake, Neil Young, the Decemberists, and Kelly Clarkson, all of which were unveiled just this week. Throw in news about Metallica, Lil Wayne, and Ryan Adams, and 2009 is shaping up to be a pretty hot year -- take that Old Man Winter!

Anyone familiar with alt-country bad boy Ryan Adams knows that he's prone to go a little crazy on the web -- after all, he did give away eleven albums in 2006. His latest web madness? A blog post in which he says he's done making music -- at least for the forseeable future.
