Stray with me

You know what I love? When instead of playing one show at a large venue, bands play six shows at a smaller venue. The Magnetic Fields are coming to the Old Town School of Folk Music with six shows from March 14-16. I've already got my ticket to the Sunday 6:30 show, and tickets are going incredibly fast considering its over four months away. The last Magnetic Fields tour in summer 2004 also made an extended stop at the Old Town School, with lesser known violin sensation Andrew Bird opening. Strangely, the Fields could probably open for Bird now.
