BAND OF THE WEEK
Magnetic Fields
The most incredible pop band of our time. Did I just say that out loud? Yeah, I did. Nobody can write a love song like Stephin Merritt. Sure, 69 Love Songs is made up of songs about dead love, and yeah, I know, it's Valentine's Day and all but goddamnit, this one goes out to all the lonely people. Listen to "All My Little Words" and feel a little bit better.
Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words
Or if you're in love, "100,000 Fireflies" needs to be on the next mix cd you make for your special boy or girl. If you haven't put it on one already, seriously. If ever there were a song made for a mixtape...I can't find an mp3 of it. But SERIOUSLY. Get it.
Next Week! K Records Showcase!
