Wednesday Morning Music: Magnetic Fields - "Zombie Boy"

Not every song on the Magnetic Field's newest album benefits from the distort now, ask questions later approach, but "Zombie Boy," Distortion's penultimate track, is a sheer delight. It's humorous and menacing all at the same time, just like zombies.

(I don't know anything about Torchwood except that it's a Dr. Who spin off and, according to some guy at Blockbuster, only super nerds watch Dr. Who.)




Favorite Lyrics:
You seem to have died
of some form of the pox
They left you inside
your tiny black box
I heard when you cried
and I answered your knocks
Let's make you a bride
with another two cocks

As a special bonus, check out this Zombie Zombie video for their song "Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free." It's a retelling of John Carpenter's The Thing using GI Joe figures. And it's awesome.
