maybe one of you can help me, if I'm not crazy.
a few years ago, I SWEAR I saw a picture of Eleanor and Alex Kapranos standing near a pool in bathing suits. I don't know if I'm imagining this or not. I can't find the picture anywhere online. I think maybe it was in a magazine? Thanks in advance!

| The Fiery Furnaces with Man Man and Standing Nudes at Webster Hall, 29 June 2006 |

It's a long haul from imagination to reality, at least, that's what it seems to me when Eleanor Freidberger screams/sings into the microphone at Webster Hall, holding up her Fender Strat (I think that's what she plays anyway) and staring into the eyes of whomever her eyes fall upon. This being my 6th FF show, I've grown accustomed to staring deep into those dark brown eyes. They're beautiful and intimidating. But as I stood in front of the stage, it dawned on me that the FF are getting louder and louder each show they play. And they're learning to rock harder as well.
Matthew Friedberger opted against playing his keyboard again to my slight disappointment; he'd had his fill playing keyboards on Bitter Tea and his upcoming solo albums (that's right, he's coming out with two albums next month: Holy Ghost Language School and Winter Women). However, Matthew still played ferociously on songs like Quay Cur, I'm in No Mood and a strangely robotic sounding Tropical Iceland (he'd gotten a new pedal apparently).
What surprised me most about this show was the impressive opening bands. First, the Standing Nudes: A quartet featuring a female vocalist/guitarist. Then, Man Man: A quintet of males featuring a mustachioed keyboard player, a lanky but instense drummer, and three multi-instrumentalists, huddled as close the edge of the stage as possible, clad in white and basically rocking the socks of everyone at Webster Hall.
I scored my third (or is it fourth) setlist from FF. Here's what they played:
Chris Michaels Crystal Clear Straight Street Police Sweater Blood Vow I Lost My Dog But Now He's Found Asthma Attack Benton Harbor Blues Quay Cur Garfield L Candymaker's Knife in My Handbag Evergreen Teach Me Sweetheart In My Little Thatched Hut I'm in No Mood Blackhearted Boy Leaky Tunnel Tropical Iceland Single Again Blueberry Boat
(I wish Matt had played some of his new songs...)
I'll post pictures soon.

Hi, I just thought that I'd try to drum up some contributors to the Blueberry Boat Wiki: http://www.blueberryboat.com/wiki/Fiery_Furnaces_Wiki
I've been trying to flesh it out a bit recently with some new content, like the Media page (with lots of help from theFF.com Forum's 'Media Repository'), and the Upcoming Album's page (with information and rumours about Matt's solo release, and the next FF album). So if anyone wants to take a look and add anything of their own, please visit! Wiki's work better with more people!
I noticed here that you guys have lots of live photo's - if anyone's willing to upload their's to the BB Wiki that'd be cool!
Thanks everyone.

I thought you guys would like to know that blueberryboat.com will be turned into a wiki-format site so it can be updated by the Fiery Furnaces community. It makes sense to do this, since I would like to see the site continue to grow, but don't have a lot of time to put into it.
Last night I installed some wiki software and started moving content into the wiki. Feel free to sign up and add/edit as you see fit (If someone has the lyrics to Rehearsing My Choir, that would be awesome). The url right now is http://blueberryboat.no3rdw.com/wiki but eventually http://www.blueberryboat.com will link directly there.
As soon as I can figure out what the best way is to transition the site to the new Wiki format without losing my ranking with Google, I'll do that. It will be soon... Thanks!

eeeeeeee!
Bitter tea has leaked: Some tracks at http://iguessimfloating.blogspot.com/ if you aren't poring over them already.
What does everyone think? Personally I'm adoring them! Apparently the album is all over soulseek like a rash- so if anyone comes across it.....

[03 Jan 2006|02:38pm] |
Does anyone know what Eleanor is saying during the part in "Tropical-Iceland" that sounds like it was flipped backwards?
The part I'm talking about goes something like "(gibberish) You won't be getting it here. Just take a boat across a bumpy sea, (gibberish)."

Hello. I'm a new one here. I enjoy listening to fiery furnaces, but it's so hard to find their albums in this damn Russia and now I have only Blueberry Boat and some random songs from Gallowsbird's Bark and Rehearsing My Choir. I don't know whether some of you is so kind and can upload Gallowsbird's Bark and Rehearsing My Choir for me, but I hope you'll be. Please help me, I'm perishing without it, realy %(
