Busby Berkeley dreams – The Magnetic Fields A Busby Berkeley dream would be two-thirds serviceable, fast-talking, amusing, usually backstage show plot-as-excuse to get to these dreams. And then this would happen: grrr… You’ll have to click on it.

Lonely Highway

Lonely highway – The Magnetic Fields The Magnetic Fields released a new album recently. Or maybe not. It says on their website it is a March release, yet everyone is talking about it as though they hold it already. Love At The Bottom Of The Sea it’s called, and from all reports it’s a winner. [...]
When You Were My Baby

When you were my baby – The Magnetic Fields The Magnetic Fields are linked so acutely to memories of my girlfriend that it has become hard to listen to them on my own. They evince so strongly memories of her dancing around the house, singing lines to herself, to me, of drives together, of our [...]

Tokyo A-Go-Go

Tokyo a-go-go – The Magnetic Fields I feel like i should have a sign here reading “No Magnetic Fields song for __ days.” It would have read 51 days today but i guess now we’re back to zero. This song is so good. Sound set to an image, matching so perfectly. There is something, however. [...]
Triumphant Return
