Motorcyle Speedometers and Magnetic Fields
2009-05-11 02:21:00 I recently attempted to calibrate the speedometer on a ZRX1200 Kawasaki. One of the methods for calibrating a (cable driven) speedometer is to is to change the strength of the rotating magnet. Much to my dismay this speedometer used a half round hollow magnet, similar in size to a ping-pong
The Magnetic Fields - Distortion
2008-04-29 07:15:00 Imagine an evening, filled with TV and popcorn. You hear a big crowd chanting outside but you ain’t got energy enough to stand up and go take a look outside. Or maybe you’re used to this stuff since they established a stadium just across the street and not only football matches is held there, but it shows warm welcomes to music gigs that tend to perform once in a while! At first the sound made you nuts and scream out your guts out of the window for your citizenship rights are brutalized. But now, you’re just… worn out. So, you just mute your Discovery Channel and listen to the sound outside. It’s a band called The Magnetic Fields singing funny songs from far away.That’s probably what it feels like when you listen to The Magnetic Fields’ new “experience” called Distortion. And that’s quite what it is, but not distortion like you used to hear in Sonic Youth and Nirvana but one that’s coming out of some romantic songs. Jesus And Mary Chain: yes, I know. Stephin Me...

Reviews: Rufus Wainwright, Janet Jackson, The Magnetic Fields
2008-03-31 08:00:00 Rufus Wainwright Rufus Does Judy At Carnegie Hall Geffen Rufus has never been one to shy away from the fact that he’s gay, but to go to such lengths to prove it is either the sign of strength or a drama queen. His performance to pay homage to Judy Garland was so popular that several shows were added not only at Carnegie Hall but in London, Paris and Los Angeles, but were they worth preserving a singer who has the audacity to recreate one of the most loved live recordings of all time? Yes. It’s great fun even if Rufus’ distinct voice doesn’t always live up to the material. The moments between songs are fun, too, because he talks to the audience at the same moments Judy does during her performance back in 1961, not to mention hearing Rufus’ perfectionist nature being presented here when he has the orchestra start over having missed a cue or when the tempo not being to his liking. Not being a Judy Garland fan myself, I was surprised to discover how many ...

Various Artists: 21 Love Songs: A Tribute To The Magnetic Fields
2008-03-18 16:27:00 Various Artists: 21 Love Songs: A Tribute To The Magnetic FieldsWhen you talk about influential singer/songwriters of the 90s and today it's almost impossible to leave Stephen Merritt's name out of the conversation. His prolific masterpiece 69 Love Songs was one of the most talked about release of 1999.Just under a decade later, Chicago based singer/songwriter James Eric puts together this tribute to Merritt's masterwork.21 Love Songs as you can imagine, is a mixed bag. There are straight covers of wannabe Merritt's like Iji's cover of "When the Open Road is Closing In" which is a pale imitation at best. Then there are complete reworkings like Steinbeck's "I Think I Need a New Heart" which is a pop punk cluster-fuck just barely keeping the melody and lyrics of the original. Microfilm offers up a synth-heavy version of "The Desperate Things You Made Me Do" and Tinyfolk add bizarre sound effects to "I Don't Believe You".Overall, Merritt fans may find themselves disappointed in ...

El disconflicto: "Distortion" (The Magnetic Fields)
2008-03-05 18:55:00 Los genios es lo que tienen: hagan lo hagan, les sale bien. Y Stephin Merritt juega con su talento, y un da da lustre a sus canciones con la electrnica, otro con alguna variedad de folk minimalista y hoy, con "Distortion", con guitarras que intoxican el punto justo a sus siempre magnficas letras. Este nuevo traje le sienta a este pequeo gran hombre de maravilla, la verdad: nada mejor que escuchar la voz incomparable de Stephin en "I'll Dream Alone", "Mr. Mistletoe", "Old Fools" o "Too Drunk to Dream" con ese disfraz de ruido controlado y desharrapado dndoles un punto justo de misterio y caos emocional. The Magnetic Fields llevan muchos aos haciendo grandes discos y cada nueva entrega es una celebracin.

Magnetic Fields: Distortion
2008-01-15 00:42:00 Magnetic Fields: DistortionProlific singer songwriter Stephen Merritt returns with his band's eighth full length album. The album is the first since 2004's I which marked the band's first jaunt on to the Billboard charts.Distortion is less an album title and more a personal mission statement for the album. Merritt has always used the Magnetic Fields as an outlet to show his mastery of all genres. This album has the feel of somewhere in between The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Zombies. The album is glazed in a vintage fuzz with a lush pop feel.Stephen Merritt and Claudia Gonson seem to switch off lead vocal duty song to song. Stephen's songs for the most part are right on point with previous Magnetic Fields' efforts. Claudia Gonson on the other hand, I can barely stand any song she sings lead vocals on. It has nothing to do with her voice, it's more about the songs themselves.Rating: 4.9/10MP3: Magnetic Fields "Too Drunk To Dream"
THE MAGNETIC FIELDS - "Distortion"
2008-01-03 13:28:00 Nonesuch - 2.008Tras casi cuatro aos de espera los de Stephin Merritt por fin se han decido a sacar nuevo disco, y lo harn a partir del 15 de enero. El ttulo deja muy a las claras lo que encierra el trabajo: noise y ruidismo de libro. Una mezcla entre un "Brian Wilson" melanclico y en hora bajas y "My Bloody Valentine". Como todo este tipo de trabajos creo que necesita ms de una concienzuda escucha antes de ser juzgado.
Tiny sensor measures tiny magnetic fields
