I don't say this often, even more rarely about their entertainment content, but there's a good article about the Magnetic Fields in today's Post Dispatch. I give Calvin Wilson credit as one of the three writers they have on staff who "gets it" (about movies and music . . . I still remember his Joe Henry article fondly).
Also, here is his review of the band's new disc "i". He brings up some of my favorite lyrics on the album but, sadly, without hearing the song you can't hear the Cole Porter-esque twist that Merritt puts on "infinite".
Tuesday's the concert. If the world is going to end, please postpone it until Wednesday. It's not like my life would be complete having seen them live. But it will certainly be an experience I'm greatly looking forward to.
Don't have any Magnetic Fields? Get thee to a record store!
