Starting next February the Magnetic Fields will head out on tour. See the full list of dates after the jump. Also, you can pre-order Realism (1/26/10 release date) here and receive a silk screened poster signed by Stephin Merritt. Also, if you are planning on seeing the band in concert (which you should, because they’re great and rarely tour) put your iPhones on airplane mode. Library decorum applies.
