THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
69 Love Songs
2020 U.S. 3xCD reissue

There aren’t many albums that I would rather own and listen to on CD than on vinyl, but this is absolutely one of them.

A sprawling indie rock masterpiece that I revisit a few times a year, and it still feels as magical as when I first bought it in 1999.

Six 10” records is an incredibly inconvenient way to listen to this masterpiece. I did it once, and to be honest, the records didn’t sound good enough to warrant that kind of inconvenience.
Much in the same way as Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins, another album I’m more than happy to stick to CDs with.

This is one of the defining albums of the late 1990s; an awesome range of styles, and beautiful songcraft.

Papa was a rodeo, mama was a rock 'n' roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas, love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know, papa was a rodeo
