I am so suddenly obsessed with Stephin Merrit and the Magnetic Fields, thanks to my friend Ann. See if you can spot the reference to Quixote. Five points (not redeemable for anything anywhere) go to those who do.

So happy to share the Stephin Merrit and Magnetic Fields love. I hadn’t seen either of those videos before, but The Book of Love is on my list of all time most romantic without being sappy songs.
They’re not official videos, but I like them just the same. Ann, do you have the album of 69 love songs? I may have to get it.
Yes, and yes you have to get it. It’s such a crazy good, fun mix and very addicting. And now I just put on the cd Distortion, which I like slightly less as an album, but it has my current Magnetic Fields obsession song, “Drive on driver” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f05ybmNHCQc
