Win Radiohead Stuff. First order of MAGNET newsletter business: our 10th birthday contest. Win a Radiohead prize package (“Hail To The Thief” CD, T-shirt and some weird, useless trinkets that say “Radiohead” on them) by sending MAGNET a birthday card. You will have to step away from your computer to do this. Here’s The Rules: •Send entries to: MAGNET Birthday Contest, 1218 Chestnut St, Ste 808, Philadelphia PA 19107. •Judging takes place on Monday, August 31. There is one - and only one - winner. There is no arguing with the judges. •The most creative entry wins. A 99-cent Hallmark card is not gonna fly around here. (Although the curmudgeonly Maxine character from the Shoebox series sure is a pistol. That old lady always has something to complain about!) •Sycophantic entries welcome. •You cannot e-mail us an e-card. That’s really lame, and we deserve better. *** MAGNET’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW - TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE Guided By Voices The Shins My Morning Jacket Friday, September 5, Philadelphia PA - $19 Order tickets online: For more info, go to http://www.magnetmagazine.com *** INSIDE MAGNET #60 (SEP/OCT) - IN STORES AND MAILBOXES SOON! COVER STORY: MAGNET’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE We don’t claim to have the final word on anything, but after publishing a magazine for 10 years, we sure know what we like. In the annivesary section, MAGNET profiles the most influential people of the last decade. This isn’t a “hot” list or a “cool” list - just artists who make and facilitate great music. Featuring Thom Yorke, Robert Pollard, Ian MacKaye, Mac McCaughan & Laura Ballance, Jeff Tweedy, Elliott Smith, Jenny Toomey & Kristin Thomson, Lou Barlow, Thurston Moore & Kim Gordon and Eric Bachmann. Also, MAGNET’s Top 60 albums, 1993-2003. Let the arguments begin. Plus, a list of our office favorites, well-kept musical secrets and a round of questioning with everyone from Moby to Neko Case to Jeff Mangum.
