#5albums99 #NowListening First ever listen to Magnetic Fields. Wait, is there really 69 songs on this album? Oh yes there is...
Aargh... #5albums99 dilemma. Three of these aren't going to make the cut. I'm genuinely torn...
1. Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot
3. Sigur Rós - ágætis byrjun
4. The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
5. In the Woods - Strange in Stereo
