Hi Mastodon,
I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.
I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)
There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.
The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown
Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

Was today years old when I first listened to 69 Love Songs by #TheMagneticFields. What an #indie masterpiece! Very reminiscent of #1990s coffeehouses, cult films, and road trips. The lyrics are sparse, and at turns somber, quirky, and playful, but all are emotionally true, exploring love in all its transcendent and mundane facets. The quiet way Stephen Merritt sings and strums "The Book of Love" (my favorite track) sounds sacred. So glad I stumbled over this #album! #music

It's hard to believe (and ageing to admit) that it's been over 25 years since The Magnetic Fields released "69 Love Songs". The original lineup played NPR's Tiny Desk last year.

Episode one hundred and forty-three is up now! Today's song is The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side by The Magnetic Fields.
I discuss the specificity of the lyrics, and how the song contrasts between themes of youth and adulthood.

Episode ninety-one is up now! Today's song is Papa Was A Rodeo by The Magnetic Fields.
I discuss the trick this song's narration pulls on you, and the achingly beautiful final verse and chorus.

Episode ninety is up now! Today's song is The Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields.
I discuss the sarcastic yet sweet lyrics of the song, as well as Peter Gabriel's saccharine yet beautiful cover, and its excellent use in the finale of Scrubs.
