Magnetic Fields members' potentially tenuous grasp on reality (which came into question when one member called Boston a "cheap" place to live, if not before) aside, the band's new album will be called Realism. It's due out January 26, so rabid fans can ask for a pre-order for Christmas, we suppose, or just download it early and hope to get tickets if Merritt and company play some local shows. As you can see, the album's cover is appropriately realistic. And below is the track listing for Realism, which seems both seasonally appropriate and artistically inspired.
1. You Must Be Out of Your Mind
2. Interlude
3. We Are Having a Hootenanny
4. I Don’t Know What to Say
5. The Dolls’ Tea Party
6. Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree
7. Walk a Lonely Road
8. Always Already Gone
9. Seduced and Abandoned
10. Better Things
11. Painted Flower
12. The Dada Polka
13. From a Sinking Boat

Huzzah for a new Magnetic Fields album but your lead-in is pretty weak. Following your own links, it was in fact MF cellist Sam Davol (or perhaps his wife) who said that Boston was "less expensive" than Manhattan.
oy, good catch--fixed!
this was so great! i loved it!
