What with the MySpace and the YouTube and the WeMeet*, your old friend the MAGNET E-Mail Newsletter feels a little bit old. A little bit version 1.0. One day we hope to podcast. This way, you will be read the written summary of a magazine whose written contents you may someday read yourself. Pure genius. But for now, here’s the newsletter. Feel free to print this out on parchment for your local town crier. *not a real Web site. If you haven’t already done so, join MAGNET on MySpace. Be one of the crazy cats who leaves us comments we don’t understand or say “thanks for the love” or ask us to check out your band or try to embarrass one of our employees. http://www.myspace.com/magnetmagazine *** INSIDE MAGNET #71 (APR/MAY) – OUT NOW!
