Fiery Furnaces was fun. What's-her-face seemed angry - is that usual for her?
Drug Rug (the first opening band) was cool. They're from Cambridge. Anyone familiar with them? I was tempted to buy their CD, but I thought I'd check eMusic first. (Thought about asking them if eMusic had their stuff, but I thought that might be rude, as I bet they make less money on eMusic sales.)

I hadn't heard of them, but I just checked out their mySpace tunes and they do sound cool. I sent them a message to send their CD to WMBR.

Good man! Yeah, they had me pegged for Oct. 15, and now it reads Dec. 15. But it might not come out until Jan. (Not to discourage your xmas shopping but there it is.)
Excellent! I just saw that on Barker's blog this morning and was coming here to post it, but, of course, everyone knows by now.
