it ain't pretty
another day, another song stuck in my head first thing in the morning.
song: A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off
artist: The Magnetic Fields
Stephin Merritt is a busy guy. he's in four bands. five if you include his solo works. he writes movie soundtracks as well as soundtracks to books. the upcoming 13th and final volume of the Lemony Snicket series will be released in conjunction with a soundtrack album by The Magnetic Fields this october.
today's song was released on TMF's hugely successful album "69 Love Songs." this 3 disc set is exactly what it claims to be--69 love songs. the song is poppy and upbeat, though the album runs the gambit of slow ballads to electronica to folk to chamber music. his wit and humor are represented in many songs (as is evident in today's tune), as is his serious side when dealing with matters of the heart. in short, The Magnetic Fields are worth picking up if for no other reason than to broaden your horizons with good, honest music.
