Mark Robinson's contribution to this album was a bit overshadowed by many of the other contributors to the first 6ths project by The Magnetic Fields, Stephin Merrit.

With 14 other supporting artists including Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley, Heavenly's Amelia Fletcher, The Bat's Robert Scott, Superchunk's Mac McCaughan and Luna's Dean Wareham, each name (with the exception perhaps of Akashibi) was an indie-rock household name.

The story goes, that Merritt tailored each swong to the individual artist, forcing a song with plenty of "ess" sounds on Sebadoh's Lou Barlow (who has a slight lisp), pushing l's and r's onto Sunshower's Ayako Akashiba, and doing who know's what else to each other artist.

I'm not sure of Merritt's intentions, choosing an tongue-twisting name and album title for his major label debut (released in europe on Factory Too Facd 2.06), but even a casual listener can sense the strain in many of the artists voices as they try and wrap their tongues around the lyrics.

My guess is that Robinson's song was selected because he once released a song (as Unrest) called "Where Are All Those Puerto Rican Boys?" rather than on the vocal difficulty as he seems to handle the vocals with relative ease.

Note: The song " All Dressed Up In Dreams" with Helium's Mary Timony was used in American Eagle Outfitters 2003 "Holiday" Ad. More info here.
