Not a lot of mention of him here, so I thought I'd bring him up. I got into him how I presume a lot of people might - through The Magnetic Fields - but he has a not of interesting other projects as well.
Anybody? Anybody?

I got the last Magnetic Fields album, but they don't sound like Magnetic Fields to me anymore. I really like the earlier MF stuff that he did that was very synth-poppy like THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW. "Young And Insane" kills me! But then he sort of changed that style. Like the 7" for "I Don't Believe You" was so awesome, but then when the song ended up on his album, i -- it was like a crappy folk song. So to sum it up, I like him when he's got a keyboard, but am usually board with him if he's got a guitar.

Yeah I thought DISTORTION was pretty bad. I mean right from the getgo... "Threeway" sounded like a novelty tune to me. Not m'cup of tea, especially when compared to something like the forementioned "Young And Insane."

I actually have no idea. If it is, I may change it, because I am burnt out on Banksy.
Besides, I may change it anyway.
