Background information
Occupation(s) Composer/producer, art director/graphic designer, writer

LD Beghtol (1964, Fort Campbell, Kentucky – 2020[1][2]) — aka Uncle LD — was an American musician, art director and writer. He was best known for participating in The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs [3] and writing the illustrated companion book 69 Love Songs, A Field Guide[4] for the 33 1/3 book series[5].

He was a founding member of the band Flare—aka Flare Acoustic Arts League[6]—and the death-pop outfit LD & the New Criticism, and was also in the collective, Moth Wranglers.[7]

In 2012 Beghtol formed LD&CO, with Scott Sosebee (Little Red Rocket) and others to record and play live; their debut single "Morgantown" was mixed by Kramer, but remains unreleased. The band's experimental 5-songs-in-5 minutes EP, The Just-World Phenomenon was released by Silber in 2015. A full-length album, Mental Health Styling is scheduled for a future release, again in collaboration with Kramer. Additionally, he has partnered with Mark Bishop's San Francisco-based atmospheric synth project Bronze Eye for a series of audio miniatures entitled Adventures in Love & Culture—the first of which was released in May 2016 on Silber, as well as many collaborations and guest appearances as vocalist, instrumentalist and arranger/producer.

Beghtol served as designer/art director for The Village Voice,[8] Travel Holiday, Outdoor Life and other publications; since 2010 he worked in pharmaceutical advertising for industry leaders CDM, Area 23 and the BGB Group.

He is also known for his writing about popular culture for Time Out,[9] The Memphis Flyer, The Advocate, The Oxford American[10] and Gail O'Hara's fanzine chickfactor.
