Stephen Merritt (Magnetic Fields) has an unmistakable voice… the version of Papa Was a Rodeo in this clip is definitely not the Magnetic Fields version… Please fix?
Darn those false MP3 labelers! Unfortunately it’s too late to fix :-(. I added a note to the video linking to the real song.
I ride Light Rail and when I look at us all tuned into our pods I think wouldn’t it be fun to turn to the person next to you and ask your same question, or better yet, switch headphones for a moment just to share.
We just did a new version of “What Song Are You Listening To?” in Buenos Aires:
