The Magnetic Fields - The Dreaming Moon

And nearly 20 years later, what a song, what lyrics, what a video

Very Pulp-like, surely a big influence

And he goes to work at nine,
And he comes back home at five-thirty,
Gets the same train every time.
'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality,
It never fails.

Days - is an incredibly poignant song
Autumn Almanac - is a great bit of fun
Set me free and Death of a Clown- are personal favourites.

I could go on, a great band… Was in the crowd at Glasto for the below… very emotional as the original bass player, Pete Quaife, had passed only a day or two before hand and Ray dedicated the song to him

Waterloo and Sunny Afternoon go without saying… All day and all of the night too… They’ve a serious catalogue.

I wouldn’t have a detailed knowledge of their stuff, mainly just their singles.

Waterloo Sunset is the song of an immensely talented individual anyway.

this my fave kinks track
