Merritt and The Magnetic Fields have a new album out.
Coincidentally, Nora and I met thanks to DJ Chris Ewen, longtime Merritt collaborator. We even have “Manray” engraved inside our wedding rings – and plan to go dancing at Xmortis tonight.
My favorite song off the album so far is “Be True to Your Bar.” Though, I don’t drink and the only bars I’ve frequented were those that Nora was tending. She’d put my “three fingers of cranberry” in a tumbler, and people would ask about the exotic red liquor I was drinking.
