We’re in cover mode again this Wednesday, 09/09/09, when we’ll beÂ
helping to cover the entirety of the Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs as part of
the opening night party for the 3rd Annual Boog City Festival. It’s going to take
13 bands to do it, starting at 7pm at the Sidewalk Cafe. We’d love to tell youÂ
exactly when we start our five-song Magnetic mini-set, but we don’t know. We’reÂ
figuring somewhere around 9pm. But you really should come and see the whole thing.
Or just come whenever you want. Roughly 58 of the 69 songs are good.

L’amour toujours, Stephin.

Sherman Boim, who put this show together, says “If it sounds like the Beatles, it’s power pop.” Shhhhhhh – we don’t sound like the Beatles. But we fit the bill in our own melodic, harmony-laden fashion.

We don’t smoke, but we can’t deny a great cigarette song, whether it’s Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray” or Oasis’ “Cigarettes & Alcohol.” It’s funny how so many of them focus more on the ashtray than the cigarette, but then again, a lot of our favorite love songs are actually about the breakup. So. Anyway. Here’s a cover of one of our favorite ashtray songs, Guided by Voices’ “Hey Aardvark,” which seems to be about neither the love nor the breakup, just the smoke.
