Rewind: This Week's Buzz
- I never thought I'd get K-Fed and Oprah into the same sentence but I think I just did it.
- The DGA brought a glimmer of hope to a bleak strike landscape but networks are still bracing themselves for the fallout with more reality series. Still, new scripted programing is making its way to the airwaves and we're hanging in there with shows like Cashmere Mafia to ride this out.
- I'm so excited to go to Sundance this year! Check out the festival films I've been highlighting this week.
- You told me the movie you were most likely to see this weekend and I told you neither Cloverfield nor 27 Dresses will disappoint.
Getting Into: The Magnetic Fields
Today, the Magnetic Fields — the quirky pop band fronted by the deep-voiced Stephin Merritt — release Distortion, the band's first album in four years. It's already garnering positive reviews, and so in its honor, I thought I'd suggest a way to navigate through the band's nearly two-decade career. While there are lots of good starting points, here's my guide to Getting Into the Magnetic Fields.

Song of the Day: The Magnetic Fields, "Three-Way"
I forgot how much I love 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields until I put the album on the other day after a long absence. Meandering through the massive three-disc song collection, I was reminded of what a stellar songwriter Stephin Merritt is, so it's fitting that this week, a new Magnetic Fields song surfaced on Stereogum.
Called "Three-Way," the tune will appear on the group's new album, Distortion, which comes out in January.
