Stephin Merritt/The Magnetic Fields/The 6ths will be
releasing the soundtrack for the new film “Pieces Of April” in November on Nonesuch. It features
5 previously released songs, and five new songs. And I think we’re still looking to the first quarter
of ‘04 for the new Magnetic Fields release.

And in case you missed it, Jon gave the heads-up on the
limited-edition-of-2000 release of
the Kevin Shields-y Lost In Translation soundtrack, which should be available right now.

And what do you get when you take Brendan Benson & the Wellfed Boys and turn
their geetars up to 11? You get The Mood Elevator, whose
new record Married Alive just came out on Doppler Records. Here’s an mp3, courtesy of The Magic Bag:
