69—It’s been over 10 years since Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields released their triple-album opus, 69 Love Songs, songs from which will appear on the mixtapes of countless love-struck kids until the end of time. They’ve got two nights at the Aladdin in support of new album Realism. EAC

Can’t talk! Too busy! My, What a Busy Week!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

One reply on “It’s Happening Tonight!”

  1. Magnetic Fields were great last night. Though it’s hard watching extremely jet-lagged and sleepy musicians perform songs so quiet and slow as to qualify as lullabies; it seemed like self-inflicted torture. You just wanted to give them a glass of warm milk and send them off to bed.

    Maybe by tonight they’ll be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Well not Stephin Merritt… Not him, not ever. But maybe the rest of them.
