The Magnetic Fields – You Must Be Out of Your Mind

debsmusicblog — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:53:00 +0000

Just beautiful! and I’m always a sucker for Stephen Merritt’s (above, upper right) clever lyrics:

You can’t go ’round just saying stuff
Because it’s pretty
And I no longer drink enough
To think you’re witty

MP3 The Magnetic Fields – You Must Be Out of Your Mind (from 2010′s Realism)

Frightened Rabbit – Good Arms vs Bad Arms

A beautiful, powerful breakup song off this Scottish band’s tremendous sophomore album.

Jeff Mangum – Two-Headed Boy (live at the Knitting Factory, NYC, in 1998)

Wow. The intensity that is Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel. No wonder people throw fits every time he appears to sing backup at an Olivia Tremor Control or Elf Power show. Come back Jeff!

Girls – Lust for Life

debsmusicblog — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:25:00 +0000

You have to hand it to San Francisco’s Girls. With perhaps the least Google-able band name possible, they have nonetheless ascended to the top of the search results. This song is a good example of their retro sound. They most often get compared to the Beach Boys and are certainly as melodic but also much noisier. Right now the band is famous mostly for its frontman Christopher Owens’ (right, above) having grown up in the cult Children of God.

Note: this is not an Iggy Pop cover!

Lou Barlow – Gravitate

Catchy single from Lou’s new solo record. He is the bass player and writes the introspective lyrics for Dinosaur, Jr., Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion.

MP3 Lou Barlow – Gravitate (from 2009′s Goodnight Unknown)

Here We Go Magic is the moniker of young singer-songwriter Luke Temple from magical Salem, Massachusetts, who also performs under his own name.
