I've been waiting to write about how ecstatic I am about the new Magnetic Fields. I like it more each time I listen, so my logic was to wait until I couldn't possibly love it any more before I posted, thus sparing y'all day-by-day song-by-song posts. Can't describe how good it is. What relief that Stephin Merritt's eyes weren't bigger than his stomach, if that computes. It's not unlike that Sinister thread a while back about everyone's theories on love. It was fascinating because everyone feels differently, but equal ferventness (word?), and I found bits of empathy and comfort and wisdom in most of them, which is exactly what 69 Love Songs is like. It's Merritt's vision but it's like an intimate conversation because even though it's so vast,it's so detailed. --Jennifer ps I'm thrilled to bits that the Kids in the Hall are finally, maybe off the oil slick that is their post-Kids career. Yay Bruce! Did anybody else see "Dick" solely because of him? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
