My new kitten was transfixed by this video. His eyes were so wide, it looked as tho he had discovered the meaning of life 😂

[@zzzaaayyynnn]

We had a cat called Dionysus Every day another crisis I used to keep him in my box Where I kept all my toys and blocks He hated me But I loved him Whenever Dionysus saw me He'd arch his back and hiss and claw me As soon as he could, he got loose Across the roofs of Syracuse Away from me But I loved him Meows I kept him in the little chest Where I was keeping all the rest He hated me Cause I loved him

[@dennisschmieder7684]

Just saw this live in Philly. Amazing!

[@maxpower4896]

I was at the Philly show and afterward I had a 10 minute conversation with Stephin Merritt. Really great guy. We talked about his music and he even sang me part of his song to prove a point about a specific musical topic we were discussing. :)

[@eriqchristensen777]

Accurate. "He hated me but I loved him" about to describes every human/cat relationship. Excellent tune and vid. Looking fwd to the full 50 Song Memoir release.

[@joaomarcosmorais5277]

if cat hates you, why own it? which is why I prefer dogs

[@eriqchristensen777]

You must not understand much about cats. Their hate is a sign of their affection.

[@joaomarcosmorais5277]

+Eriq Christensen I just dont like cats, most people of my family always prefered dogs, I think cats are annoying

[@eriqchristensen777]

João marcos morais Shots fired!

[@joaomarcosmorais5277]

+Eriq Christensen Yeah, lol, but every person prefers a pet

[@ultraregular784]

[@BethGoth15]

OMG I'm agonna love this album

[@franciscorevelles]

Exquisite --you did it again--

[@gundegavjakse174]

My family used to have a cat called Dionysus (full name Dionysus Baldr). I often thought me and my brother were so clever in naming him. I guess not really. Although my family ended up starting to make wine, while he was still with us. So I guess it was meant to be either way. He left us recently, right before his best hooman friend died. He was the smartest, most human cat we had ever had.

[@skipws]

shoutout to that one guy on overwatch who recommended me this

[@luckyberlin]

a 50 song LP! Well, why not!? Has anyone ordered the book + mp3 pack, and if so, what's the book like?

[@Juancho_Silva]

❤

[@magnusart1413]

What does the Vertigo and North by Northwest graphics that appear behind the cat mean?

[@anselmoecheverria6342]

Stephin Merritt celebra sus 50 años con otras tantas canciones, a imagen y semejanza del mítico "69 Love Songs" (1999). El neoyorquino es amante de estos retos, verdaderos tours de force, en esta ocasión para su cumpleaños compone algo así como una autobiografía sonora en la que cada canción se corresponde con un aniversario de su vida, al tiempo que realiza un repaso a medio siglo de cultura popular, del rock'n'roll, la electrónica, la música de cámara, cabaret´folk, pasando por el synth-pop y algún experimento que tanto le gusta realizar. No e podemos decir que es un disco conceptual. No narra una biografía al uso, más bien son relatos que nos ayudan a descubrir su personalidad, en los que en ocasiones se desliza algún hecho de su vida íntima en flashes fugaces, como cuando nos cuenta que en su niñez compartía juegos con su gato Dionysus. Al tratarse de un quintuple disco encontramos un poco de todo, un trabajo a alabar, pero también irregular en algún momento. Dos horas y media de duración dan para mucho. No lo dudes, ante todo es una fantástica colección de melodías. Música independiente novedades.
