Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger have finally shed the image that has dogged their band for so long, no longer satisfied to be trapped by their past boundaries, sick as they must be from being pigeonholed as merely baroque, abstract blues-indie-prog-psych-folk-pop-art-roc...

Seems like I'm always behind the times when it comes to videos of artists I like. I was checking out The Fiery Furnaces website and was checking out the video section and discovered they had released a video for their song 'Navy Nurse' some time ago. Last week I discovered I hadn't seen a Goldfrapp video either.It's so difficult to keep up on all the groups' latest. I've signed up for email upd...

Last night, I had the honour of interviewing Matt and Eleanor Friedberger of the Fiery Furnaces before their show in SF. The brother-sister team is super friendly and they have an envious rapport with each other. During the interview, I had some trouble keeping up with which answers were real and which were make-believe, coz they seem adept at blurring the difference. Was Eleanor for real wh...
