Music Recommend
Recommendation:Artist: The Magnetic Fields
Album: Distortion
There's a very Stephen Merritt-ish (typically trivial?) play between album cover, name, and noisy album sound. But after a few times through at half volume (sleeping baby), I conclude this album is quite listenable. I think it's going to grow on me. Immediately, my fav song is "Drive On, Driver".

Wow Bri,
These Guys REALLY remind me of Future Bible Heroes. Especially the song "Zombie Boy". Any connection to that band? Yep. Basically the same person/people. Another guy collaborates on the writing in F.B.H. The Magnetic Fields songs are written by Stephen Merritt (only), and performed by himself and others.
J, another Stephin Merritt project is The Sixths, where he just brings in random (usually indie-ish) folks to sing his songs. See also the Gothic Archies, whom I have not heard, and I believe he has 'solo' stuff as well. BTW, does this mean you are unfamiliar with the 69 Love Songs album? Because if that's the case, it's a situation needing to be rectified immediately.
