The Stranger

(POP CONFERENCE OPENING EVENT) The problem with 69 Love Songs, Magnetic Fields' three-CD album of songs about rabbit love, rodeo love, boys in underwear, the Grand Canyon, and the Lower East Side, is that once you record something as monumental as that, what do you do next? Where can you go from there? EMP, I guess. To discuss your brilliance. Tonight, Magnetic Fields' Merritt talks with the not-long-for-this-city Ann Powers about "queering the pop song and bubblegumming the art song." (EMP, 325 Fifth Ave N, 770-2702. 7 pm, $5–$7.) by Christopher Frizzelle
