I’m Going Away: New Fiery Furnaces album gets me all sorts of excited
While Scotter harbors his inexplicable blog-crush for the shrill Joanna Newsom, there’s still no band that gets me quite as hot and bothered as the inimitable Fiery Furnaces.

Flight of the Conchords coming to the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis, 4/30/09
Tuesday night is the night that we usually go to your mother’s place and I teach her how to use the video machine again, and Wednesday night is the night that we’re making love. But Thursday night is the night New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk-parody duo pay a visit to the Fox. And you [...]
