oh, oh, Salon.com wrote a big article on Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields! you can see it if you want (www.salon.com -it's the main article), you have to watch an ad or something if you don't have a subscription, but it's not that big of a deal. it's fantastic, even though scary. scary to see one of my favorite artists highlighted like he's some big pop star, even though nobody knows him. i get jealous of my favorites and don't like too many people to know they are while at the same time loving to tell all of my friends about them ( probably something to do with feeling better than everyone else because i know the magnetic fields, but if everyone knows the magnetic fields, then, how can i be better than you?) but this is still so exciting.
i have to quote some though:
"I sit around in cafes and bars and write. I prefer to have music playing when I write, it's sort of like having white noise. If I don't have music playing, my mind wanders. It helps for it to be music that I don't particularly like. If I like it, I'm listening to it, and that's distracting," he says. "The best is boring thumping disco, which is easy to find in gay bars.""
and from the interviewer:
Stephin Merritt is a romantic who hides his romanticism, equally ineffectively, behind irony, wit, the synth-pop sheen of his productions, and his unfailingly jaded worldview.
yeah, i realize, i'm crazy. but there's no time to explain.
