Gonna soundtrack the day with some silly, sappy (but lyrically clever!) #IndiePop

Probably been over a decade since I've run through The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs.
Still a wonderful collection of tunes.

Episode one hundred and forty-three is up now! Today's song is The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side by The Magnetic Fields.

I discuss the specificity of the lyrics, and how the song contrasts between themes of youth and adulthood.

Episode ninety-one is up now! Today's song is Papa Was A Rodeo by The Magnetic Fields.

I discuss the trick this song's narration pulls on you, and the achingly beautiful final verse and chorus.

Episode ninety is up now! Today's song is The Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields.

I discuss the sarcastic yet sweet lyrics of the song, as well as Peter Gabriel's saccharine yet beautiful cover, and its excellent use in the finale of Scrubs.
