Listening to the Magnetic Fields makes me wish that Noah was working here in the other room. Over the course of four years of college, I picked up dozens of Noah's favorite songs through osmosis, but only transmitted two in return: "Kiss Me Goodbye" by Petula Clark and "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor. (I also suspect that, near the end, he was becoming fond of "One More Try" by George Michael, although he's never fessed up to this.) Anyway, after a weekend of playing 69 Love Songs nonstop, I'm convinced that the Magnetic Fields would have added at least one more song to that list. Which one? I'm not sure. My best guess, though, is "Busby Berkeley Dreams."
