INSIDE MAGNET #66 (JAN/FEB) - OUT SOON!

COVER STORY: ELLIOTT SMITH
Go to the basement on the hill—where Smith recorded his final album—and you won’t find simple answers about the life or death of the singer/songwriter. MAGNET speaks to those who were musically connected to Smith and tries to shed some light on the dark beauty of his songs.

SPECIAL SECTION: The Year In Music
Let’s close the door on 2004: Our 20 key albums of the year and 10 others that slipped under the crack. Plus, Guided By Voices says goodbye and San Francisco psych folk (Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and others) says hello; Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse stump for superiority, while comedians Eugene Mirman and Patton Oswalt stand up for themselves.

FEATURES
The BLACK KEYS’ guided tour of Akron, Ohio, answers all your questions about the duo’s white-bread, Midwestern and entirely electrifying version of the blues.

SOUND DESIGN: Poster art has linked music and design since the ’60s, and the medium is more popular than ever. MAGNET reproduces some eye-catching posters and solicits comment from the Shins, Ted Leo, Blonde Redhead and Firewater.
