THE MAGNETIC FIELDS // COVERED Here you will find a collection of covers from the catalog of The Magnetic Fields, as performed by indie bands over the past decade. I have actually had this sitting around for a few months and had forgotten that it was never posted, but lo and behold, I found it and figured it was time. This is a bit smaller than the previous Covered Mixtapes, but that’s all right because there is not a sore recording in the bunch.  So, without further ado, here’s a collection of songs originally performed by The Magnetic Fields as re-interpreted by artists over the years.  PLAYLIST: (click on the band name for more info on the artists) The Shins - Strange Powers Superchunk - 100,000 Fireflies Arcade Fire - Born on a Train Ben Gibbard - I Don’t Want To Get Over You Tracey Thorn & Jens Lekman - Yeah! Oh Yeah! Portastatic - Josephine Bright Eyes - Papa Was a Rodeo Bodies of Water - I Don’t Believe in the Sun The Divine Comedy - Love is Lighter than Air The Antlers - Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing Woodpigeon - Asleep and Dreaming Kings of Convenience - The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side Lush - I Have the Moon Now it’s Overhead - The Book of Love !!! - Take Ecstacy With Me (download)  THE MAGNETIC FIELDS // COVERED   (mediafire) or STREAM OVER AT 8TRACKS PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS THAT YOU FIND AND ENJOY. BUY THEIR MUSIC, MERCHANDISE AND TICKETS TO SEE THEIR SHOWS. SUPPORTING THEM IS THE ONLY PURPOSE IN DOING THIS BLOG. CONTRARY TO THE OPINIONS OF SOME, MUSIC BLOGS ARE A GREAT WAY TO DISCOVER NEW MUSIC, BUT THERE WILL ONLY BE SO MUCH NEW MUSIC TO GO AROUND IF THESE ARTISTS CAN’T AFFORD TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES THROUGH THEIR ART AND COMMERCE.
