You know...rarely--rarely--do I find music that I actually hate. Seriously. Even the crappiest records sometime have a moment or two of fun or interest to them. I mean, even Vanilla Ice's To The Extreme has its moments.

But The Fiery Furnaces' Blueberry Boat album is just, truly, the worst fucking thing I've ever heard.

What are these idiots trying to do? Write goofy "indie pop" songs using Schoenberg's twelve-tone scale? Or is it just that they can't write a piece of actual music and try to get by with just banging on various instruments until something like a melody or a rough equivalent of a song-structure comes crapping out? Otto von Schirach has a better song-writing sensibility than these morons.

Seriously...The Fiery Furnaces sound like Mates of State trying to be "avant garde" and failing miserably. What a waste of time.

I think the best description of the Fiery Furnaces' musical genre I ever heard was "muppet wank". And yeah, I like weird ass stuff but just can't get into them at all.

Muppet Wank! That's exactly it!

Hard to believe I'd hate something called Muppet Wank, but...maybe I hate it because it's not actually made my muppets.
