there's one song, "ask me anything," that sounds EXACTLY like a magnetic fields song, steals a vocal melody and all that, so that's kind of entertaining.
i haven't heard the strokes album, but it seems like every stephen merritt tune has some kind of classic melody line, like they could all be long-lost twisted stephen foster songs or something, so it's not saying much to compare something to a magnetic fields melody …
