Every Lisper's Nightmare

Stephin Merritt is undeniably a genius, but sometimes genius gets a little tiresome. Don't get me wrong: I love 69 Love Songs. But after a while, it's just him, going on and on.

That's why his side projects are nice. You get the genius of the man, but with a little variety thrown in.

Take The 6ths. That is, if you can pronounce their name. Same dead-on funny, sarcastic, thought-provoking lyrics - new singer!
