Ready to drag it up for the weekender ? The MAGNETIC FIELDS are here for some inspiration via their nudey new video ANDREW IN DRAG . Jolz tune, fine NSFW video, radio wont touch it, you wont be able to get it outta your ears, watch as a str8 friend falls in love with the drag persona of his mate.
The Magnetic Fields' latest single " Andrew In Drag " has been praised as a return to the form of the vintage Magnetic Fields through it's more acoustic, synth-heavy arrangements (but don't worry, too much. Stephin's still doing the oddball stuff !). And now that track - which contains the opening couplet "A pity she does not exist, a shame he's not a fag / The only girl I ever loved was Andrew in drag" - has a video, where two people transform into two other people, cosmetically speaking. Watch it below. Read More...

Ayer conocimos el video del cover de Live Alone realizado por LCD Soundsystem para el Covers EP de Franz Ferdinand . Ahora llega un video de una de las canciones de los escoceses a cargo de Stephin Merritt . La canción de la que se encargó el frontman de The Magnetic Fields es Dream Again. El video, que se puede ver al final de [...]
Earlier this year, Franz Ferdinand released the Covers Record Store Day EP, which features a whole mess of other artists taking on Franz tunes. One of those artists was LCD Soundsystem, whose version of " Live Alone " now has a video . Another was Magnetic Fields leader Stephin Merritt, who took on Franz's " Dream Again ." Merritt's version of the song now has its own video, in which pieces of audio and video equipment, both ancient and not, come to life to sing the song. It's weirdly adorable, and it's below.

The song is Rocky Horror Picture Show classic "Science Fiction/Double Feature," and the lineup is Coraline crew Stephin Merritt and Neil Gaiman, backing up the latter's wife along with Moby, because Moby is everywhere. In conceptual terms, at the very least, this is a sheer Halloween delight. And it is fair to say that this quartet dines out on "conceptual terms." Enjoy this: Read More...
Jude Moses play The Magnetic Fields' 'The Book of Love' in an appropriately tranquil landscape.
Los Campos Magnéticos es el nombre oficial de un proyecto en que tres músicos argentinos se reunieron para homenajear en su propio idioma a la banda estadounidense The Magnetic Fields , creación del genio Stephen Merrit . Alvy Singer, Nacho Rodriguez y Sebastián Rubin comparten, como es lógico, la admiración por The Magnetic Fields y, después de años de desencuentros y falta de tiempo, lograron ponerse a trabajar en la traducción y adaptación de letras y en sus propias versiones musicales que suelen presentar en shows a sala llena dentro del circuito under. Todo [...]

Stephin Merrit no es sólo uno de los músicos más admirados de la escena indie gracias a su trabajo como líder de The Magnetic Fields , banda con la que ha labrado una larga carrera que se remonta a 1989 y con quien ha creado discos tan extraordinarios como 69 Love Songs ; además es un personaje bastante peculiar y muy alejado de lo que muchos considerarían como rockstar . Por si fuera poco, el músico es considerado como uno de los mejores letristas de la [...]
New Jersey's Honeydrum has been stirring things up for about 2 months now through their constant stream of new videos on vimeo , the update of new music on their tumblr , and they've already released two tapes. The band produces dark, analog gems with the occasional brief aside from a guitar solo. Some of it comes out sounding like Magnetic Fields, some of it comes out sounding like Bauhaus-so all the bases are covered. Honeydrum - Saturday Morning Honeydrum - Best Friends

Well, the temperature has dropped, the snow is out, Christmas ads have been on the telly for at least 3 months, that can mean only one thing... We're in December and the run up to the new year. The time where every man and his dog start to organise things into lists. Surprisingly enough, I am no different and have done just that... So should you be in the midst of putting your Santa list together and looking for inspiration, I'd heartily [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Video , Exclusive Of the many memorable moments on the Airborne Toxic Event 's new concert DVD/album, 'All I Ever Wanted,' one of the most moving is when frontman Mikel Jollett performs Magnetic Fields ' 'The Book of Love' to his grandmother, Juliet, who died a week before the concert. As Jollett said during the 2009 show at L.A.'s Walt Disney Music Hall, one of his last memories of her was [...]
It's not often you get the chance to see the ins and outs of the evolution of your favourite band. Particularly if that band isn't U2 or Metallica. All the more reason to be thankful to Kerthy Fix and Gail O'Hara , who spent ten years following Stephin Merritt and The Magnetic Fields . Seeing him on screen is similar to picking up a copy of a beloved book and suddenly finding it illustrated . Bang, there goes the carefully constructed image you've built up in your mind over the years (put together from album art, [...]
Eels - End Times Το στενοχώρησε το παιδί αυτή η βρώμα. Μια χαρά τα πήγαινε o Mark Everett στη μουσική του ζωή. Μόλις είχε βγάλει το περυσινό πολύ καλό Hombre Lobo και ετοιμαζόταν για την απαραίτητη ξεκούραση απο τις δάφνες της επιστροφής του, μετά το Blinking Lights And Other Revelations του 2005, που δικαίως απήλαυσε. Όμως έπρεπε να τον χωρίσει η άκαρδη, εξωθώντας τον να βγάλει γρήγορα γρήγορα, χωρίς να το πολυσκεφτεί, το End Times [...]

Although I've not been big into video and live clips on the blog, I do enjoy a visual treat for the sense every once in awhile, and occasionally like checking out the Live at the Guest Apartment series on Baeblemusic.com . A little while back they posted a three-song performance by Basia Bulat that's worth checking out, so I thought I'd embed some of it in today's post. Watch the full concert at baeblemusic.com I've been listening to [...]
