Some people will never get over the "the original vs. cover" mentality. And they are idiots. A song is a song and even if you didn't write it, it can become yours. Fuck you don't even have to cover a song for it to become yours. You can jst listen to a song and be like, "This song is mine."

Hmmm. Everyone's a critic :)

YAY!

Spinach bagels are the shit, yo

the more I listen to Redbear.'s song the more I love it.

hey! that reviewer gave me 3 stars! that's more stars than i'd give someone who sounds like neil young. ha! i didn't know i sounded that bad.

basically...FUCK neil young.

i hate it when people are condescending even if it is funny.

grr the site is laggin'

I just noticed he used "it's" when he meant "its." I want to amass a collection of quotes of people saying negative things about Tinyfolk's music with typos and/or grammatical errors in every quote.

Actually, the one I took was "It’s almost mesmerizing in it’s awfulness. Also, it’s funny."

"A cross between John Darnielle and David Cross put through a filter of Nintendo sounds" -

That's a golden press quote if there ever was one.

I disagree with his take pretty much across the board, but I still like the review, if only because i got a nice quote from it to put on the Tinyfolk myspace.

Sic Semper Equis.

Eep! I guess i expected some criticism and not total praise all-around. Taken aback by it, but still grateful for the write-up. I shudder at what he would've wrote about all 21 tracks :)

Redbear: Your song sounds fine to me.

oops, double post

i wish i had redone my singing

everyone on here is fantastic; people went all out crazy

i think this is the most visited page on cllct

does my song sound slow to anyone? like time-warp?

Claudia now has a copy of this thanks to Michael and/or Emma, their managers/tour buddies. More after the Mag Fields-charged weekend has concluded.

I read a lot of them, actually. I just don't like them. Except Cocaine Blunts is pretty awesome, but that's a hip hop blog.

Sic Semper Equis.

For a second Russ, I thought you were talking about the covers on this tribute haha, until I finished reading.

As for music blogs, for writing so much on mine, I never really read anyone else...well that isn't true, but I don't know what the hip blogs are or anything. Or any juicy blog gossip.

cept: Pitchfork has diabetes.

I honestly don't like the majority of them. Not to be a hater or anything. My favorites are the ones that write about people I know, namely Foggy Ruins of Time and sometimes RetroLowFi.

Sic Semper Equis.

I like Stereogum way more than Pitchfork these days. There are so many great music blogs out there that it's overwhelming.

You mean Stereogum. Pitchfork is SOOOOO 2005.

p.s. jay kay, james eric! I don't read either!

Sic Semper Equis.

I love The Culture of Me, and any other music blog that says good things about this. Next up: Pitchfork :)

I can still upload stuff to it, I'm pretty sure. Also, I hadn't deleted all the old tracks, just made them so they didn't display. Now it's just the ones you see, so there should be plenty of room, if there indeed are any limits.
Sic Semper Equis.

Nevermind. It works now.

Haha, well, hopefully this won't keep happening. The tag problem. It better not anyway.

Then I will download them, fix the tags and re-up them.

Sic Semper Equis.

If anyone else has ANY Magnetic Fields covers, I can update this page at any given time with more tracks which will only be available here. So it can be a neverending compilation of sorts :) The CD version is set-in-stone, but the digital version can go on and on. Send more!

I heart Tinyfolk. Thanks Russ. I am still baffled by the ID3 tagging debacle. If you can or have the time, download a track or two of Tony's records that i uploaded to make sure the tags are right. I am gonna do the same for most of my stuff as well.

FIXED. Boom shakalaka.

Sic Semper Equis.

Aww James don't do that, come on people is it really that hard to fix em?

I'm so happy this is finally out!

Ok, to everyone who sees this, if you want to wait a day (Tuesday March 11th), I will re-submit all MP3s with proper ID tags so it's not annoying when you download them and load them up into your music player. Sorry for the inconvenience. I should've waited to make the big announcement, but alas, I thought everything was kool-mo-dee.

I fixed all mine in itunes. I'd resubmit them if I were you, just so it looks good when people download them.

Sic Semper Equis.

Should I re-submit the MP3s?

!

Oh no! I did it all in ITunes. What went wrong :(

None of these mp3s have proper ID3 tags!!! ARRRGHHHH.

Sic Semper Equis.

All of 'em are good, in different ways. Some folks REALLY went all-out with production, tho. Impressive stuff :)

WOO! some of these are so good!

Hell yes.

Sic Semper Equis.

i love redbear.

i love james eric.

Every one on here is amazing, and I love everyone for listening /contributing / supporting these bands. And obviously, thank you to The Magnetic Fields for making some of the greatest songs that have graced my ears. I'd like to do this again next year with another band. If you want a hard CD copy, drop me an address:

Eternal love!
