69 Love Songs, A Field Guide

69 Love Songs, A Field Guide

"69 Love Songs—A Field Guide" by LD Beghtol was released on December 15, 2006 by Continuum as part of their 33 1/3 series of books on influential pop/rock albums.

Beghtol was a guest vocalist and designer for the Magnetic Fields' 1999 triple CD, "69 Love Songs". His book includes studio anecdotes, an extensive annotated lexicon of words and phrases culled from the album's lyrics, performance notes from the performers and friends of the band, full-album shows in New York, Boston, and London, rare and unpublished images by Gail O'Hara, and other items such as a crossword puzzle TMF associate Jon DeRosa and a list of academic cant words (in the section called, appropriately enough, "Meaninglessnesslessness") not otherwise used in Beghtol's book.

Also featured is a candid interview with the songwriter, styled as a surrealist radio play, in which Stephin Merritt answers questions about his Chihuahua Irving Berlin Merritt, his sex life, studio practices and other esoterica.
