<div>For those unaware, The Gothic Archies release The Tragic Treasury - Songs from A Series Of Unfortunate Events has Stephin Merritt (MF) with Lemony Snicket on Accordian and John Woo on electric sitar. It came out in '06. I highly recommend this for fans of Magnetic Fields and The 6ths, or anyone who digs strange, colorful music. Merritts voice and songwriting are in top form, and seem well-suited for the campy macabre framework. The album really kicks in on about song 7. <br/>Give it a spin!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://magneticfields.tribe.net">Magnetic Fields</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey folks, if you want to see what Stephin's on about with this Busby Berkeley thing, come to UC Berkeley's Pacific Film Archive this Sunday at 5:45, where Mr. Berkeley's incredible movie, Golddiggers of 1933, will be playing. In case you haven't seen it, this is an amazing movie--Ginger Rogers singing "We're in the Money" in pig latin, Billy Barty dressed up as a baby, beatiful girls playing neon violins, campy thirties dialogue...so fantastic. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://magneticfields.tribe.net">Magnetic Fields</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>did anyone else catch the NPR interview with Lemony Snickets (a.k.a Daniel Handler)? I did not realize he was the accordianist on 69 Love Songs. I am now sold on reading the books.

<div>So far so good. Kinda like a sequel to 69 love songs. There is a lot of referencing to that album on the packaging and in the same type faces used. <br/> <br/>But alas there are only 14 songs here. (I feel like that guy in that woody allen movie now that I wrote that. the guys who is buying art from Max Von Sydow - "I got a lot of wall space." ) <br/> <br/>Anyway, it's good ol' classic stuff with some stuff that hasn't landed for me yet but it probably will later. I only listened once and it takes me some time to emotionally attach to music, at least I can't force it. I mean, hey, straight male here. <br/> <br/>SPOILERS -- <br/> <br/>all the song titles begin with the letter "i" and there are NO synth instruments on it. I wish I had a good stereo instead of this just OK computer speakers. It sounds quite beautiful. And now that I realize there are no synths in it, it is musically (but Mag Fields is ALWAYS musically cool) really great. No synth but they are using synth "cliches" with acoustic instruments - synthy beats, synthy piano chords, and some wooshing sounds. <br/> <br/> <br/>END SPOILERS <br/> <br/>Currently "I Don't Believe You" is the fav but that is an easy one. Right now though "I Wish I Had An Evil Twin" is one to chew before swallowing. <br/> <br/>In summation, this one is going to stay in rotation for a while.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://magneticfields.tribe.net">Magnetic Fields</a> - 12 replies </div>

<div> Hi all, <br/> <br/>I saw them in a packed house in London; Peter Gabriel, Marc Almond, among others in the audience.
