Delayer. That's a new (to me) word I read about yesterday. It means the same thing as downsize, but downsize is so five hours ago.

Spin magazine went through a delayering yesterday. Gawker called it a "shedding." Two more editors were let go, which adds to the list of editors that have already been asked to box up their belongings.

More importantly, it has a review of the new, must-be-coming-one-of-these-days-if-Chuck-Klosterman-is-reviewing-it Guns N' Roses album. "Chinese Democracy is not the greatest rock album ever made." he wrote. "Oh, it’s certainly awesome, but I don’t think it’s '15 years awesome.'"

Awesome or not, there will be a demand for the album. People want Axl. GNR's greatest hits comp is now north of two million units and still selling.
