An interview with the now-Hudson based singer/songwriter from The Magnetic Fields, and a broadcast of his solo performance recorded July 25, 2014 at Helsinki Hudson. Bubblegum purist Stephin Merritt has released seven albums by his band The Magnetic Fields, and two albums from The 6ths, all of them featuring extremely catchy songs. Besides the Magnetic Fields and The 6ths, Stephin also creates music under the names Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies. Merritt's first solo show ever -- this one -- features the singer strolling through his catalogue from A to Z, playing 26 songs, one for each letter. Play along at home and try and guess what song comes next.
