Nom de plume of one man songwriting powerhouse and likely genius Stephin Merritt. Named after the book cited in WeamsCarnival's writeup below.

Recently released a box set titled "69 Love Songs" which was exactly that. Could be called prolific but this would be an understatement. Other albums include "Charm Of The Highway Strip", "The Wayward Bus", "Distant Plastic Trees", "Holiday" and "Get Lost".

Stephin also records under a bevy of other monikers (with various friends and associates), including The Gothic Archies and Future Bible Heroes, and also as the Celebrity karaoke of The 6ths.

Name of the third album by Jean-Michel Jarre. Also called by its French name, Les Chants Magnetiques. The style is synth pop, intended for a mainstream audience. The side-long "Magnetic fields I" is the capstone of the album, while parts two through five move through driving electronic pop and several passages more indebted to Jarre's past in the musique concrète scene. It's often just as melodic and inventive as Oxygene, though not as consistently creative.

Magnetic Fields is the name of Anré Breton and Phillippe Soupault's 1920 novel (the book was written in French so the title is actually «Les Champs magnétiques»). It is the earliest example of literary Surrealism. The book was composed by the technique of Automatic Writing.
