Pulled Towards The Magnetic Fields

Today Noey sent me the new single from The Magnetic Fields. It's called "Andrew in Drag." Here it is:

If that's not the cutest Goddamn thing you ever heard, I just don't know what it is. Stephin Merritt's lyrics have always blown me away in the way that they're so simple and literal, yet convey everything I am thinking. Like, I play "I Don't Want to Get Over You" a lot, because I am indignant:

And I've put "I Wish I Had An Evil Twin" on a play list before because it's such a fun fantasy:

Finally, I am pretty sure I wrote "You Must Be Out Of Your Mind" and Merritt stole the lyrics out of my brain anti-Inception style:

Anyway, so happy about the new album. Thanks Fields!
