I accidently saw Magnet

[ceramic'cow]

six. by seven. sort of. they were supporting Placebo (*ahem*) and i'd never heard of them. i sought out a couple of tracks off their album before the gig (back in the days of Napster and dial-up connections - 33kbps) and thought little more of it. then their support slot blew me away. next chance i got i bought their album - The Closer You Get - and it was great.

i finally got to see them live again about 3 years later, after they'd lost two fifths of the band and released one mediocre record (and one ok-ish one., that i didn't hear until after the show). they were ok, but they had a LOT to live up to
