Was there discussion of the Fiery Furnaces & Blueberry Boat at some point?
Uh-huh. It's been my favorite album of the year so far.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hayden first mentioned it here: hayden "Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan" Jun 9, 2004 7:34:25 am PDT

Also, Jon B. was (IIRC) the one who presuaded me to buy Blueberry Boat.

I believe it was me tapping my fingers together nefariously that sent a few people running for their local CD merchant (or iTunes).

Yeah, my local CD merchants were all out of stock, so I resorted to iTunes. Now I wish I had the higher fidelity of the CD, as the album is so sonicly complex.
Thanks for the old links, Jon - it was fun to read that long review again after I've listened to the album extensively:

Yes, I love the fuck out of Blueberry Boat. I've had the argument between the two brothers over Jenny at the end of Chief Inspector Blancheflower running through my head all morning.
By a curious coincidence, I was just reading a very thorough analysis of "My Dog Is Lost" and "Blueberry Boat" here: [link] Fascinating stuff. You non-musicians might want to skip the music analysis, but I loved it. Be sure to click on all the previous analyses linked at the top of the post.

Thank you.

Cool link, Hayden. As a non-musician I dig that kind of thing, the more detail the better. I especially appreciate the time breakdown. Way easier for me to follow than "at bar 38" or "right after the G# in the third chorus". (Btw, I don't know if you checked your email: Eliot passed the bar.)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Cut the Robbie Fulks track, if it's not too late.
And I really like what I have heard of TV on the Radio.
And and thank you all for the internet radio pointers!

I feel like you might enjoy this song.

Note to Red Sox fans: Joe Pernice has recorded a very silly song about Manny Ramirez.
Read what Joe wrote about the song.
