Ballad of a Tin Man



The Magnetic Fields, a band led by ukulele wielding New York City singer-songwriter Stephin Merritt, will be in town this weekend to play six (!)sold out shows at The Old Town School of Folk Music. The triple 1999 disc 69 Love Songs is widely considered to be their best work, and features, well, 69 love songs. One of my favorites, I think I need a New Heart, is deceptively sweet and jaunty on the surface, and downright brutal underneath, much like REM's "The One I Love".
