This week, SPIN celebrated its 25th anniversary with a week-long series of concerts in New York City, including memorable gigs from the Smashing Pumpkins, the National, the Flaming Lips, and the Black Keys.

Paramore and Tegan and Sara are touring together all summer, sharing more than 30 stages across America and spending lots of time hanging out backstage.

During the second song of Paramore's summer tour kick-off show in Raleigh, NC, Friday night, feisty frontwoman Hayley Williams leapt up on a monitor, red hair flying, and sang, "Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?"

In unison, the sold-out, 5,000-plus Raleigh Amphitheater crowd answered the lyric as if locked on repeat: "We were born for this!"

Lots of musicians tweet – but all that Twitters is not gold.

That's why you'll want to check out SPIN.com every Friday to see whose tweets we're reading this week – then update your TweetDeck! (Obligatory Self-Promotion: …while you're at it, be sure to follow @SPINmagazine!)

Fueled by high-grade chocolate milk on a bus that smells of popcorn and Twizzlers, Paramore traverse the country on a mission to bring sunny angst to the masses. SPIN tags along for the ride, and wonders where they go from here. [Cover story excerpt]
