You want to go the Magnetic Fields show, on February 4th. I mean, you'd be crazy not to want to. Absolutely cuckoo some may even say. You want to see them more than you can even possibly articulate. We know this, and so we are going to make you haiku your way to a chance at two free tickets.
So, here is the deal: you (try) and write a haiku which approximates the general Magnetic Fields life/love approach and post it in the comments.
Here are some Magnetic fields songs to get those juices flowing:
We'll let the winners know by next Friday (last week's winner is being notified as we speak)

God loves a cheerful giver.
svetlana my love,
please give me tickets to this,
because i heart you:
I thought you were cute,
But I'm a sucker for wit.
And synthesizer.
I bought one ticket
before I had a boyfriend
now I need one more
And Stephin Merritt
Came to me with a love song
Then we 69'd
Oh Magnetic Fields
is where I see myself dance.
With sweet Svetlana.
I had a boyfriend,
Needed tickets or a gun,
Now I need just one.
What an aweful shame,
traded our tickets for blow,
now we want to go.
I want
to hop
on
Batboy's
throbbing cock.
Stephin Merritt Why
must you trouble my dreams so
Let me in your bed
les petits bons mots
let me fall in love with love
broken hearts are fun
Too young to be old
The years attract and repel
Too old to be young
If you love me blink
Once, and if you don’t love me -
Oh well, then I’ll drink
All of my money
Is not enough to buy me
This magnetic feel
two tickets one stage
we'll shine in folk pop stardom
feel good all over
loudly clicking blinks
and a bracing shrill alarm
muted, warm with you
you are pretty but
I can find a better time
alone, for instance
Recording alone
My own private 69
With accordions
There's nothing better
For losing hope; just try love!
There's nothing better.
I've observed often:
Cruelty, thy name is love.
Let's go make whoopee.
love is like bigfoot
sometimes abominable;
a hairy pillow
Slight edit, with video:
love is like bigfoot
sometimes abominable;
hair on my pillow
let's pretend we're charged
(particles). i'm cation
and you're anion
was born on a train
papa was a rodeo
this is all i have
You make me want to
fall in love and get my heart
broken on repeat.
let's defy science
we're both negative and yet
we go together
you are so lovely
i cry on your pain and heart
let's kiss forever
