Magnetic Fields Offer Their "Underwear" To Puma L.I.F.T.

From his "Wheels On The Car" to his Wrigley commercial that's impossible to find on-line, etc., the Magnetic Fields' crooner certainly isn't shy about writing jingles or allowing his songs to be transformed into them.

When Dean Met Britta

Men's Vogue has an excerpt from Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance (out 3/13), the new book by former Galaxie 500/Luna frontman Dean Wareham. It's an honest look at a critically lauded, commercially neglected decade his band spent in cheap hotels, before dissolving (along with Dean's marriage) in 2004. Of course, Dean and ex-Jem singer Britta are now a married, musical duo. Unclear if Ms. Phillips still has, as the piece mentions, "the best visible panty line in rock." We'll always have Penthouse.
