69 Love Songs

by The Magnetic Fields

supported by

Edward Rossi Finally took the plunge into this behemoth of an outpouring from The Fields. Still finding my way, but all the classic touchstones are here thus far. Favorite track: (Crazy For You But) Not That Crazy.

Shadow J. Brown Industries The "War and Peace" of indie rock and one of the sassiest and most ironic pieces of music ever. Favorite track: The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure.

CptHatemonger In this daunting tribute to our stupid species' most poetic form of self-flagellation, the Fields celebrate love in all it's many flavors, from the healthy to the toxic, the requited to the unreturned, the everlasting to the fleeting, weaving a tapestry of synth-pop, folk, indie-rock, country and lounge-jazz for a seamless journey through genre and tone. Favorite track: World Love.

Ben Collins ah "love" it's my favourite feeling to cry about and this album is so very silly and genius.. i heard he wrote you a song but SO WHAT!!!! THIS GUY WROTE 69!! and one just isn't enough.. Favorite track: When My Boy Walks Down the Street.

heylisten Little words fail me... Favorite track: All My Little Words.
