If you have a chance to see the show do not hesitate one of the best shows of my life!
Just saw it. Phenominal
As a cat owner and a magnet fields fan this just....a win win!
Stephin Merritt never disappoints. Excellent song!
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
Wow this music is so relevant at this time in 2023. Love,love love it! Thanks to pieces of April. Awsome touching movie.
Played this on my stereo and when the background meows started my cat went mad looking for Steve's cat.
I just love those popping synths!
my cat LOVES this video. from the first time I played it, she chases and paws at Dionysus! its so cute!
The meows XD. Stephen Merrit's just great.
a surprisingly heavy song! i love this so much
shoutout to that one guy on overwatch who recommended me this
This music is a masterpiece. Exceptionell, cool, an well rhymed. Congrats!
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.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU
I really love this song 100000%
Just saw this live in Philly. Amazing!
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. :)
My new kitten was transfixed by this video. His eyes were so wide, it looked as tho he had discovered the meaning of life 😂
I'm speechless; absolutely amazing.
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.
if cat hates you, why own it? which is why I prefer dogs
You must not understand much about cats. Their hate is a sign of their affection.
+Eriq Christensen I just dont like cats, most people of my family always prefered dogs, I think cats are annoying
João marcos morais Shots fired!
+Eriq Christensen Yeah, lol, but every person prefers a pet
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.

What does the Vertigo and North by Northwest graphics that appear behind the cat mean?
Second to the Kinks "Phenomenal Cat", but a good cat song!

Musically it reminds me The Passenger...
Strange.
