I think The Magnetic Fields were sort of a local hipster thing but they've had moments of rarefied not-quite-fame from stuff like NPR's story on 69 Love Songs (which album above clip is from) and Stephin Merritt's public catfight with tiresome music writer Sasha Frere Jones, who called him a "rockist cracker."

Merritt writes lyrics of Cole-Porter-like brilliance. And he's 5'3" so he's on my list of Excellent People of Modest Stature.

I think I'm going through one of those phases when almost every new band sounds like derivative over-hyped shit, to me. Usually I'm fairly 'neophilic' about music and get pretty tired of 60s/70s/80s music nostalgics, but just recently I've struggled to find much I didn't find disappointing. There's been a lot of revivals of genres that were shit 20 years ago and remain shit now.

"Local"? Sometimes it seems like everyone I know listens to the Magnetic Fields.

One precocious person I went to high school with was already a Magnetic Fields evangelist at the time, in 1998 or so. I think they qualify as famous.

Earworm related bleg: I have had a song running through my head for the past couple of weeks that includes the lyric "The next best thing to paradise is a simple life with you." Google, Yahoo, and Bing all assure me that no such song exists, nor apparently has the phrase ever appeared on the web, which strikes me as utterly bizarre.

I am obviously losing my mind, as I have a very clear memory of the line and accompanying melody. If I had the musical chops God gave rocks I'd be able to say something helpful about the music other than that it's exactly the sort of romantic and slightly maudlin acoustic guitar song you'd expect to go with the lyrics quoted above (and helpfully enough the only others I remember are simple variations on the phrase "a simple life with you," though given that I've misremembered lyrics they might well be about crocodiles and lederhosen).

There's a dude with a youtube video playing a song about a simple life with you, but it's not the right one and doesn't involve paradise anyway, so fuck that clown.

Help me, Mineshaft! You're my only hope!

re: 49

Reading music critics is a pretty good way to find out about new music. Even music critics often talk a lot of shit.

re: 50

Actually, I think pieces of work that have the sort of structured conceit that that album does precisely do rate themselves. It's all about 'look how clever we are'. Which, tbh, I'm all in favour of. I quite like pretension and self-regard in music when it comes off and works. And if it doesn't come off [from my subjective point of view] then I'm going to reserve the right to brand the musicians pompous wankers, in a completely unfair judgemental way.

Sure, but that's not to say it's overrated. (Well: I guess what you mean is "the musicians rate it too highly." But even that need not be criticism; you could think very highly of something, of which the creators think yet higher.) Most of the time "overrated" doesn't even mean that, though.

36, 37: Reasons not to discount volume 2 of 69 Love Songs: "When My Boy Walks Down the Street", "Long-Forgotten Fairytale", and "Papa Was a Rodeo".

I think the main problem with the album is just that there's too much of it -- reduce it to the 20 best songs and it would seem like a much higher-quality album. I still like it, though. My next-favorite Magnetic Fields album is probably The Wayward Bus / Distant Plastic Trees, which is pretty different.

Like a lot of people who care passionately about music, I have pretty strong opinions and sometimes that slides over into out and out music snobbery. Which, sometimes,* is a bit shameful, but other times more, "fuck it, you buy 2 albums a year, and usually at least 1 of those is shit, so when I tell you I don't like X, it's not because I don't get it, it's because it's fucking shit."**

51: Togolosh, I have no idea what that song is, but here is a thought process that has helped me recover lyrics in the past:

1. When have I come across music lately that it was not intentionally listening to an iPod or radio? (drugstore, elevator, movie score, friend's car, scene in a movie where somebody is supposed to be a musician).

2. Can I picture anything else about when or where I heard the song?

3. Do I have any visual images to go along with the song (guy in a flannel shirt, Bollywood heroine)?

As a last resort, I sometimes think the song fragments in my head before I fall asleep, and wait to see if I'll remember more when I wake up.

In general when I half-remember some song pieces it's not an actual, new, playing-on-the-radio song, so the above prods help me to generate ideas of where else it might have come from. If you hang out with people who listen to imported CDs or ride in taxis a lot, you might also have heard some non-USian song that has no airplay/web presence here.

Alternatively, perhaps you are songwriting in your sleep. Did you see this book somewhere recently? Are you sufficiently suggestible that it might have spawned a melody in your subconscious?

I don't think Merritt's a genius but the album's got its moments. E.g. "All my Little Words" is pretty nice - the thing of starting some of the lines just a little earlier than you'd expect (what do you call that: syncope?) gives it a freshness. And things like the dry delivery of "woah Nelly!" and "ain't pretty" on "Chicken with its Head Cut Off" are funny.

But I agree that the album isn't as clever as it needs to be to justify the implicit claim that it makes about its own virtuosity. Quite apart from the self-conscious ambition of the 69 songs concept, if you're going to signal cleverness by allying yourself with a tradition, like musical theatre, where part of the point is a sort of arch awareness of its own hyper-professional artificiality, you really need to knock it out of the park to make it work. Which is hard to do. Another album that strikes me as having the same problem is The Divine Comedy's Casanova.

I think 79 probably expresses some of what I wanted to say. And I probably agree re: Casanova and other Divine Comedy stuff, too, which has exactly that kind of problem. However, not re: the Divine Comedy's A Short Album About Love which I think largely does pull that sort of thing off.

I think "If ..." for example, completely succeeds at that sort of musical theatre word-play, and is wonderfully bathetic in places:* " ... because trees don't cry", etc. Although 'success' here is clearly pretty subjective.

But, still, heebie hadn't heard of them.

I haven't heard of most bands.

I love A Short Album About Love - "I made a small boy cry ..." is my favourite line, I think - despite being with Teo and LB on the musical appreciation spectrum. If it has smartalecky words and a tune I can sing along with, I'm happy.

Song of the holiday was Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind).

51:

Don't want nothin' fancy,
Don't need nothin' new;
Nothin' too expensive,
Just a sinful life with you.

Give me somethin' borrowed,
I'll buy you somethin' blue;
I'll trade this life of sorrow
For a sinful life with you.

Sinful life,
Sinful life with you;
No promises of paradise,
Just a sinful life with you.

Marley was a Rasta;
Moses was a Jew;
Jesus was an outlaw,
Just like me & you.

Let love be our religion
Until this life is through;
The next best thing to Heaven
Is a sinful life with you.

Sinful life,
Sinful life with you;
The next best thing to Heaven
Is a sinful life with you.

Credits

I hate there was no YouTube link for 88; it's a lovely sentimental number, with fine harmonies. I've been hearing & singing it regularly since it came out.

Here's a song of complaint (complicated by the band's composition at the time: one man, one woman, one drum machine).

Here's a number from a later album, suitable for a holiday weekend.

And OK, sure, here's the Big Hit Single from 1985.

88 Wins. Apparently I have extensively edited the song in my mind. Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

My favorite Magnetic Fields song is "Born on a Train." Why does no one ever talk about the album that's on (Charm of the Highway Strip)? Is it generally unloved and I for some reason have never gathered that?
