Music about music!


“I have a lot of songs about other songs, basically. Robert Christgau dismissed Holiday [The Magnetic Fields’ third album] with what I thought was a perfectly fair review: ‘More songs about songs and songs.’ That’s the most concise and true review that I think I’ve ever gotten. I don’t see it as a dismissal. What I care about most in the world is popular music, actually. More than love, I think I care about popular music. I would rather be disfigured than go deaf.”
