I love how he’s calmly talking about pink houses and his dogs are attacking the shit out of each other
I completely missed that.
I didn’t see any shit come out.
Bitey face game lol

Things that say “I couldn’t possibly be a hotel room”. I love that.
There's something about seeing the houses of artists who have books and strange fanciful objects, that makes me feel an enormous sense of wellbeing. It's like these are the houses that people actually want to live in, not the sterile luxury apartments in magazines. At least, that's how I feel about it all.
So true !
Looks like an enjoyable place to live. Plus, he doesn't mind dusting
@@JanetCaterina that's always a plus. 😌😌😌
Empty mind, empty house
Know what you mean, those spotless homes, all glass and metal and light like a Hotel lobby where they are to be seen/show, not to LIVE IN
Blank homes, blank minds
Stephin's is an amusement hall almost like Picasso's full of works in progress or done, each pieces of Art, magnitudes but not for sale just for his amusement and playing with, much like Merritt's here
absolutely obsessed with the vibes this man radiates. i want him to be my uncle
"Swords ... in case there's a burglar ... who wants to have a sword fight." I'm falling around, laughing!
I have so much love for Stephin Merritt and seeing his house is really something. I love everything about him!!!! My spirit animal is stephin merritt
I love the cosiness of the house. Filled with all the things he loves and has collected over the years . You can almost see how comfortable and content he is in his own little world and surrounding environment . That's what I hope my house will be like one day, personalised and cosy.
Things I discovered today:
1. Stephin Merritt, the modern Cole Porter, lives in what looks like my dad’s house
2. He uses the same dish soap as my dad
3. He’s basically my dad
This man has just been added to my dream blunt rotation
He's like a very strange Wes Anderson character in the most wonderful ways
like a serial killer wes anderson
Wes Anderson: The Later Years
I thought the dinosaur was beautiful.
but more interesting and talented
"Everything should be either useful of beautiful" ... shows a remote-controlled plastic dinosaur
useful and beautiful
To him not you .
Dinosaurs are beautiful.
Thats beautiful
It's useful for scaring the dogs.
He really does like to use 'or', and it produces some of his most beautiful phrases. Even his speech has a poetry to it. Watching him here and knowing his work... if I met him I would like to try to make him happy.
Can't believe I've just watched Stephen Merritt smile. Pleasant surprise
"This couldnt possibly be a hotel room" lol, I love him
I love his calm voice and fun house
Those dogs are freaking hilarious.
haha. seems like a totally cool, crazy and down-to-earth guy. would love to hang out with him!
Usually I get a bit anxious with so much clutter, but that house seems like organized, fun madness. Very playful!
Finally got to meet Stephin and we had about a 5 minute conversation that was really tremendous !
“Ive been doing dusty things” everytime I sneeze
"I dont think anyone wins.
It's like nuclear war" :)
This just made me smile, thank you...I wish he was my neighbor, and be able to meet him, be friends and play at his house, so many toys, books, musical instruments, etc...I like his sense of humor
The shade he threw when he pointed at the neighbour's house & called it "military draft" 😂😂😂
"...military olive drab."
@matafanua tamatoa - it's called pointing and he said what Co Ma said.
I've listened to the Magnetic Fields and this is the first time I've seen SM on video.
he seems so 'jolly' here
2:57 For something most rare and worthy of Merritt.
Stephin I adore you. Your music melts my heart.
My favorite part is the first scene where the dogs are mauling each other in front of a pink house and doll house. Very Wes Anderson!
1) I hope you continue to make these videos because they are fantastic! 2) those dogs tearing in and out of the shot at 0:16 made my day lol
this is the cutest thing ever
So nice to see a home even messier than mine. Tidy homes with no trace of personality or culture are so boring. And thanks, Stephin, for your wonderful music. 'Quickies" is a fantastic album. Always makes my day.
This guy is so cool
I'm in love with Stephin Merritt!
I kind of feel in love with him
This guy has been doing just fine in the covid time.
I'M IN LOVE WITH HIS PINK HOUSE LOL. and this video! Thanks!!
To my ears the greatest songwriter I have known.
I am so enchanted by this man
que lindoo!!! me encantó como se repite esa paleta de colores en tonos de marrón se repite, y sus cositas algo aniñadas y antiguas, todo me dio la misma sensanción que sus canciones.
Didnt realize he's a total chub. Enjoyed this.
This is the most giddy I've seen him in videos or in live shows.
love that books are everywhere
If you asked me what Stephen Merritt’s house would look like based on Magnetic Fields music, I would imagine a lot of austere, concrete industrial minimalism. This is not what I imagined what his house looks but I am delighted that it is! I love it! It’s Pee-Wee’s playhouse from the depression! lol
This made my day! Thanks you so much Nowness!
this videos are my favorite thing in the world. thanks, cute guy
Lovely home, most enjoyed the dogs reaction to the dinosaur.
I wanna live with this guy
He’s lovely
I love this guy
Such an adorable person 😊
Just know Stephin Merritt, lm crazy about him ! What a lovely house ! Mega like !
This is exactly what I would think Stephin's house would be like...and exactly how I would want it to be.
I've never seen him so perky!
What an amazing house. Just having your stuff around you is wonderful, I get where he’s coming from. For me it’s eclectic maximalism all the way. I hate the thought of creating a home to have visitors in it. My stuff is around me and doesn’t disappear when a visitor arrives. Most people find it cosy but couldn’t live with it😂😂
"They discontinued my underwear..."
I hate it when that happens.
Haha, brown underwear has been discontinued
“A pretty girl in her underwear / If there’s anything better in this world, who cares?”
he's a man of set tastes that does not feel fun in being forced to change from the comfort zones.
Also, what do those freaks at AApparel and others of their ilk think is the World coming to.... no underwear to match brown-eyed people? _the layers of Discrimination in such have not been given Light enough in Media, yet...
omg i love the people in this seris
the best 239 seconds of my Life.
He is so lovely, what a beautiful warm home.
Pay attention to the garden!
exactly as expected .. and i am more relieved than i should care to be to see that.
What a wonderful home... ❤️
he's so cute! i love him and his work
As soon as I saw the poster I heard the theme music in my head...GREEN SLIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!
Lovely place.
OMG hes sooo fun & cute! and a pink house?? dream man 😍👏🏾
Thank you for sharing. Heartfelt.
I've listened to magnetic fields alot (mainly 69 and 50 song memoir) but never seen the man behind it all: i didn't picture him look like this but i guess he and his house are actually exactly what i've heard from his music.
I want to be Stephin Merritt's friend.
Sometimes I have to be grateful for You Tubes algorithms.. I saw Magnetic Fields about 20 years ago and having seen this wonderful home I will have to revisit their music
Such an inspiration! Now I want a pink house!
Great little house! Inside ! :))
sooo good im glad i watched this
Don't know who is he, but I love him since a first view.
He is probably outbidding me on eBay T_ T lol
beautiful and poetica an funnytastes and...i love
That is exacly what my home looks like😊🥑🌋
A Fassbinder poster!!!!
such an amazing person
Love the double bass!
So many books :3
I miss Hudson so much!
I was laughing because me and my girlfriend were playing bitey-face right before we watched this. It really is hard to tell who wins.
Thank you for cheering me up.
Spirograph!!!!Itvwas my absolute favorite!!!
he's got awesome stuffs
"Things that say this could not pissibly be a hotel room."
LOVE this man
What a lovely person.
“This is one of these. I am very bad at this.” This is an epitaph of my heart... and wait where in la does Stephin meritt hang out no reason
Anti-minimalist, I love it.🙂
What a great place. I would love to have a beer with Stephin.
I have swords, just in case there's a burglar, we'll have a sword fight haha
wanna visit his home!
Seeing this gives me a strong desire to declutter!!!
What a strange, wonderful man
Stephin, will you be my husband? I'm not gay, but I'll learn
great simpsons reference
Billy Bunter omg literally me
This is exactly what I was going to post: Will you marry me? Hahaha! What a lovely interesting guy! I don't dust either! xo
@@watermelondreasymone7144 is this your real name im curious haha
Oh that’s funny
His dogs are EXACTLY like my mastiffs 😆😆 except it sounds horrible and the house shakes 😆🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😆❤️
Fascinating place,
interesting person.
If only my home was as dust-free
without having to dust!
Cool stuff, but be says he doesn't dust...love that little red piano.
This dude is so unintentionally funny 😂
This is awesome ;)
