Review of Rae Spoon’s Superioryouareinferi or

Jun 4, 2009, 8:17am Chromewaves
Review of Rae Spoon’s Superioryouareinferi or Amber Dawkins So Polaris Prize ballots are due in less than a week and as is seems to be habit with me, I haven't listened to nearly as many of the eligible albums as my fellow jurors, or at least that's how it seems from the discussions going on at our top-secret, private BBS. But besides making me feel inadequate, the forum has been invaluable for pointing me to records that are sitting in my promo piles and might otherwise go uninvestigated for lack of time or whatever. One such record, and one [...]

CORALINE (STEPHIN MERRITT’S MUSICAL) @ MCC THEATER: THE TROUBLE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

Jun 2, 2009, 12:00am the music slut
News first broke about Stephin Merritt's NYC stage adaptation of Coraline back in the summer of 2007. For nearly two years, I've been waiting with heavily baited breath to catch the musical. Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to experience a preview of the show last Saturday night and it was nothing short of brilliant from [...]

Magnetic Fields Aren't Sentimental for '69 Love Songs' Anniversary

May 18, 2009, 3:30pm Spinner.com
Magnetic Fields Aren't Sentimental for '69 Love Songs' Anniversary Filed under: News , Exclusive , Album This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Magnetic Fields ' '69 Love Songs,' the triple-disc opus that made band architect Stephin Merritt an indie singer-songwriter stalwart. So far, Merritt is having a tough time revisiting the project. "We are doing a vinyl version, which is so long and complicated I now find myself in the position of having to proof the vinyl and the cover art at the same time," Merritt tells Spinner. Those of you who sensed [...]

Leonard Cohen at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, Connecticut

May 18, 2009, 12:58pm Chromewaves
Leonard Cohen at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, Connecticut Frank Yang If only it were as Muppet-simple as "taking Manhattan". In fact, it shook out more like first, I take a subway, then a shuttle bus, then a ferry, then a plane, then monorail, train and subway again just to get into Manhattan. And just as soon as I've arrived in the Big Apple, it's back on the subway, another subway, then a train, another train and then an unlicensed taxi ("hey you need a ride?") - all to get into Waterbury, Connecticut. A city which was once apparently a brass manufacturing powerhouse but [...]

Stream: Peter Gabriel “The Book of Love” (Magnetic Fields cover)

May 7, 2009, 10:04pm Drawer B
Peter Gabriel - the book of love
Peter Gabriel's string-laden cover of one of The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs served as the climax of the series finale of Scrubs last night. His take on it is a little less dry than Stephin Merritt's, showcasing the inherent drama of the song. It's a simple song with simple lyrics, but it makes a big impact when sung by someone with Gabriel's voice.

Stephin Merritt Makes Crazy Piano Music For Coraline Musical

May 7, 2009, 12:39pm The Tripwire
Stephin Merritt Makes Crazy Piano Music For Coraline Musical Ordinarily we probably wouldn't care to tell you about musical theater news, but this isn't just musical theater. It's Stephin Merritt does musical theater - yes, that Stephin Merritt, of The Magnetic Fields , The Gothic Archies , The Three Terrors and now, Coraline: The Musical , opening tonight off Broadway. Merritt said Coraline is not for the faint of heart. "When I am dictator," he told The Village Voice , "compulsive homosexuality will remove the problem of children. Soon, I will be dictator. Until [...]

Stephin Merritt scores stage version of Coraline

May 6, 2009, 12:23pm Drawer B
Stephin Merritt scores stage version of Coraline The stage version of Nel Gaiman's 'Coraline' is previewing in New York this week with music by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields . The perennially blissful Merritt is busting at the seams with his usual brand of enthusiasm, telling Spinner dryly, "I don't get excited." Ah, well, ok. He continues: "I'm not that type of person. I'm not having that feeling yet and that feeling will probably be something more like terror. Probably there will be something going horribly wrong at the last moment, as usually there is, and I'll have to figure out how to [...]

Magnetic Fields Mastermind Brings 'Coraline' to the Stage Filed under: News , Exclusive A stage version of ' Coraline ,' with music by Magnetic Fields ' mastermind Stephin Merritt , previews in New York City this week. Though it debuts just a few months after the hit movie, which Merritt says may be his favorite 3-D film, the play has been in the works for years.

Stephin Merritt: Off Broadway With Coraline

Apr 30, 2009, 10:01pm The Color Awesome!
Stephin Merritt: Off Broadway With Coraline Stephen Merritt can't stand still.  The amount of projects he's principled in the last 18 years are too numerous to recollect off the top of one's head.  He's created some of modern pop's most memorable moments - the most noteable ,  The Magnetic Fields '   69 Love Songs , made him a reluctant icon.  The album celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.  The memorable 3CD set was a benchmark for the wider acceptance of independent pop music.  For me, my favorite Stephin Merritt songs were from the first 6ths album, [...]

Japandroids have ulcer, cancel tour, make up tour

Apr 30, 2009, 8:24am Chromewaves
Japandroids have ulcer, cancel tour, make up tour Leigh Righton Vancouver fuzz-merchant duo Japandroids chose an interesting way to celebrate the release of their new album Post-Nothing and the attendant "Best New Music" laurels bestowed upon it by Pitchfork - they cancelled nearly their entire scheduled Spring tour. Okay "chose" is probably the wrong word, as singer-guitarist Brian King probably didn't decide this was the perfect time to suffer a perforated ulcer and go in for emergency surgery. But that's what happened, and so nearly a month's worth of dates were scrapped but [...]

Friday Fix: Stephin Songs

What Would Your Tinted Windows Look Like?

Apr 22, 2009, 11:00am Idolator
What Would Your Tinted Windows Look Like? Tinted Windows, the generation-spanning act that brought together members of Hanson, Fountains of Wayne, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Cheap Trick for cheery tunes and maximum bloggability, had their debut album come out yesterday. Eric "Professor" Harvey came up with a fun parlor game in honor of what he's calling the self-titled record's "astonishing competence" -namely, what would your dream version of such a powerpop Voltron look like? The formula, and my attempt to solve for "x," after the jump. 1. Redeemable former [...]
