Voxtrot played here in LA last Friday and by all accounts, the show was great. I’ve already explained on here why I didn’t go. This song is a great Talking Heads cover that they played at Magnetic Fields in New York last year. Apparently the show was being recorded for later release. Special thanks goes out to my friend Adrian for supplying this fantastic audience recording.

Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)
In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)
“Heaven” is one of my favorite Talking Heads tunes from one of their best albums (it’s tough to pick just one favorite Heads album, but Fear of Music is right up there). This is an interesting interpretation of the song. It took me a couple of listens to warm up to this rendition, but I think I like it.
