*Request/ dedication, I swear, although I did get to choose the song. For Dani. (Danny?)

Can I just say that I'm unspeakably excited about the new Magnetic Fields? Do you have it yet? I refuse to listen before it's in my hands, but anything by Stephin Merritt which is supposed to sound Psychocandy-esque makes my heart go--oh shit, Ryan just read my mind. He's playing it right now...

Other Albums I Need to Buy (Because I Keep Forgetting): Scarboro Acquarium Club/ Black Swan Days, My Teenage Stride/ Ears Like Golden Bats, Magic Marker Records/ A House Full of Friends, and the list goes on and on.

I wanted to play the Marriage Records comp for a special someone but an unknown radio insider has stolen it already, or else it's just lost. Suck.

Are you going to see Jens Lekman at his upcoming shows in Australia, Europe, and the US? Please take me.
