The new Magnetic Fields’ documentary, which took Kerthy Fix and Gail O’Hara (also of Chickfactor, Black Tambourine fans) 10 years to make, should be a good one. There are the requisite talking heads — including Peter Gabriel (of course), Sarah Silverman (why not), Carrie Brownstein, Neil Gaiman, etc. — commenting on/arguing for Stephin Merritt’s brilliance and blah, blah, blah, but at least in the trailer, the most interesting parts are listening to Merritt himself or watching him pal around with his chihuahua Irving Berlin.

You can consult the official website for more info. Like: The film will have its “world premiere” at SXSW. (And don’t forget the recently released Realism.)

Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt: 'I'm very, very familiar with unrequited love'
How long have you had a beard? A few months. I stopped shaving and discovered I was more popular. Maybe people can't see my ordinary, rather dour facial expressions as easily and so they don't seem to think I'm the total jerk they seemed to think I was before.

Even though the indie pop Boston band the Magnetic Fields released their debut album over two decades ... it doesn’t stop openly gay bandleader Stephin Merritt triumphantly singing the track’s catchy hooks in his signature bass voice.
