The Magnetic Fields

Yesterday Charlotte and I saw the Magnetic Fields at the Sommerville Theater! It was so wonderful. They hardly spoke at all, and when they did it felt sort of strange and awkward, as if we were listening in on a private conversation. They played a good mix of songs: three or four from Distortion, the new album, a couple of really old songs, and a couple ol' favorites, including "The Book of Love," "Papa Was a Rodeo," "Come Back From San Francisco," and "Grand Canyon."
Also, just before the encore, they announced that there was a celebrity in the audience: Billy Rewain (whose name I obviously can't spell.) A couple of audience members reacted to this news with cheers, but most people (myself included) seemed to have never heard of this person. Does anyone know who Billy Rewain is?? Apparently he's "from the 80s." What a mystery.
Also, if you haven't heard the song "Smoke and Mirrors" (from an ancient Magnetic Fields album, Get Lost) illegally download it. Immediately.
