An acquaintance of mine from back home (i.e. the great town of Helena, Montana) has recently been featured on a new Magnetic Fields tribute album, called (what else?) 21 Love Songs: A Tribute To The Magnetic Fields. Click the link and download the whole thing for free!

I don't think I'm being partial when I say that the aforementioned acquaintance (who records as the brooke) turns in the best cover on the album. It certainly doesn't hurt that she chose my very favorite Stephin Merritt song.

the brooke (a tiny ocean) - "Born on a Train"
