Hah that's impressive! I dig Merritt's more synthy-side myself.
How you feel about Distortion? Xavier Says is easily my favorite tune of the year.

Oh, definitely. He's never disappointed me. I'm pretty sure he's made of magic or something.
Really good synth pop just makes my insides turn into melty goo.... which I enjoy. A LOT.

They need to come here, damnit! This is my angry face ----> http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/6189/grrrrrto6.png

In other news, this is a Gothic Archies tune, but whatever, it kicks ass and reeks of epic win:

I unintentionally saw Stephin Merritt perform 13 years ago, opening for The Tindersticks. I have been in love ever since. Nobody I knew had really heard of them, until 69 Love Songs came out. Now they're more of a household name. Saw them 3 times this year.

I want to say around '97,i was dragged to a show by a friend,as they wanted company,i think i had a cold at the time and felt like crap,so i went kicking and screaming.
about three songs into the show the cold was magically gone and i have been hooked ever since.

Lucky, I have Panic at the Disco as locals... :sick:

Oh, extremely... they rip off my favorite bands like no other.

I would... if he gave me some money. Or a wee hug. Or a wee hug AND some money.

I've been listening to them quite abit recently. But today was a turning point. I now officialy love them. Merritt's is just fantastic. I think I should just talk like him for the rest of my life. I'm sure my affection for them will grow even more so when I get into 69 Love Songs.

And Distortion is beautiful...

welcome ! :D

they (and him) have a vast back catalog ,so you will have much to discover.

when i think of bands that sing great songs about 'love' 2 come to my mind above all others:
Pulp
&
The Magnetic Fields, who pack into their
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/The_Magnetic_Fields_-_69_Love_Songs.jpg
'album' more lyrical brilliance about love than i previously thought was possible :eek:
the 1st volume of the above is simply the one you must have
songs like A Chicken with Its Head Cut Off tell what it really means to be in love and at the same time make one laugh
while I Don't Want to Get Over You is a song that i personally feel was written for me, it sums up how i feel about love :guitar:
the heartbreak of its loss, and the deep abiding feeling of never ever moving on :tears:


ps: volume 2 includes 'Papa Was a Rodeo' which every time i have ever played it for anyone who has not heard it, they always stop, listen, and ask me who sings it, its thats fuckin brilliant!

The Magnetic Fields live in New York.

November 18, 2004

It is a high quality recording, from NPR.I really can't be bothered to type out the setlist ,but its rather excellent if I say so myself.

Thank You Terence!!

Not a problem! I have a few others, I will try and upload them as well one of these days.

'69 Love Songs' has something for everyone i reckon.
Cheers Terence, you're a veritable gem.

who else loves the Magnetic Fields?

That's my favorite of theirs...it's on EVERY playlist I make...

After "Years of Refusal" I would have thought it impossible for a Morrissey fan to make such a declaration.:confused: It's a little like the kettle calling the pot black.:)
