Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-21 00:00:00 PETE LABARBARA Probably should only be read by people who have listened to this record so much that they know every nuance and lyric by heart. I am one of those people. The intro (encyclopedia of terms used on the record) is funny at first and then becomes really exhausting to read. I love the song-by-song anecdote section of the book, although I hate the author's commentaries most. I feel like everything LD Beghtol has to say about the songs he sings on 69LS is so completely & disgustingly self-congratulatory, like for one of the songs how he talks about how his singing is so moving that he even made Stephin Merritt cry when they were playing a live show once. Oh come on. Also the author repeatedly mentions his 'graphic design skills' and how he designed the cover for the book and the cover for 69LS, which I found irritating and self-promotional since it's a horrible book cover and a horrible record cover. More actual Magnetic Fields info, less LD Beghtol info please.
