Capricorn Vertical Slum - “Palatial Estates in Wallpaper” A movie of a movie on in the background. An audience with mirror faces. Shooting the rehearsal. The DVD that plays to the silhouettes in the backseat of a passing minivan. A secret in a video game so hidden, so desperately obscure, that only the most dedicated, the most bored, stand any chance of finding it. And once found, has the quality of being found that makes it radiate and pulsate with value. I found a key today, now if I could only figure out what "R-1 bottom" means, I'd be able to unlock that.

Paste reviews the vinyl reissue of Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs album.

What the 69 Love Songs reissue might lack in bonus features, it makes up for with the allure of rarity—only 3,000 sets will be produced. It seems the point isn’t just to hear the songs again. It’s that those who would most wish to drink in such lush, lovely misanthropy should do so in style.

All Things Considered examines circumstances surrounding the Katrina and the Waves' 1985 hit single, "Walking on Sunshine."
