Comment:

My boyfriend hadn't really heard any Magnetic Fields before he met me. I, of course, thought this was a tragedy and made this cd to give to him. I haven't sent it yet, but I know he's going to love it. Or I will break up with him.
I'm kidding. I think. ;)
Tracks 3, 7, and 19 only appeared on the Pieces of April soundtrack, which is why they're credited to Stephin Merritt as opposed to The Magnetic Fields. That might be a bit anal of me (or a bit backwards, depending on how you look at it) but it feels right. Yes, I think about these things too much. :)
This cd is meant to be listened to on shuffle/random, which is why it's in alphabetical order. It's pretty good played in order, too, though.

lots of great ones here, though "Yeah, Oh Yeah" and "Acoustic Guitar" seem to be missing. guess the former wouldn't be very romantic, really. I rented that "Pieces of April" movie for a get-together with some friends because I'd heard it was good and we all like Patricia Clarkson. we were all chuckling at the right spots at first, but then as the film progressed we all got more and more quiet. when it was over, someone timidly asked, "what did you think?" and it turned out we all thought it was absolutely horrible, but we didn't want to say anything in case everyone else was enjoying it.

Nice, but no Magnetic Fields overview is complete without 100,000 Fireflies.
