O Matthew Friedberger é um doente mental. Ele criou títulos e conceitos esdrúxulos como ele para o próximo disco dos Fiery Furnaces e está deixando os fãs decidirem qual será utilizado. Pobre Eleanor.

Red candidates:

1. Sweetheart and Co.
Gershwin imitations as the tunes and changes. "Found" material (or imitation 'found' material) as the lyrics. Orphan love songs, therefore. Ensemble to feature piano, bass, and drum kit only; very sparse pretend-modern (not George-like) playing on the piano and bass; pulse kept sometimes by the drums, sometimes by the singer's clapping.

2. Kythphiaxkis Traans-Oinomaos
A double-sided love story involving one beautiful hermaphrodite and a second, conventionally unattractive one. (The former named Aphrodite and the latter named Herm.) Songs in the style of Abba's "Waterloo" and a few of the (early) Bee-Gees' Greatest Hits.

3. Roughing It (Or Two Delinquent Dads)
Long-verse many-verse Dylan-style numbers with blues changes. The guitars and pianos (but not the bass), however, will be in quarter-step tunings against each other. Lots of happy-go-lucky clanging-and-banging. Many of the songs set in Old Hawaii.

4. Archer Ave. Cupid's Corner
Chicago Fall album. (The band and the season (the band The Fall and not the band Chicago).) Music in imitation of the early 80’s, double-drumming Fall, but the ensemble consisting not of that sort of band but, instead, a 18th-century-performance-style outfit like the old Il Complesso Barocco or La Petite Bande. (Though with rock drum kit also, often.)

Blue Candidates:

1.Gangleri's Warg
Straight Yes Close to the Edge imitating. "Helir hlyr at stali/ hafit fellr, en svifr thelli." etc. Featuring fun songs to play live. Sure to be popular!

2. Three-dom is Two-darn One-derful (Four-dom and Eight-red Zero-in on your Five-lihood)
Funk record. Featuring the debut of the Eleanorettes (backing singers). Very dead and dark sounding. You'll see!

3. Catamite Corner
Across the street from red number 4, apparently. Old Egyptian Soap-Opera music with bass guitar and drum kit. Like "Kashmir", but faster, with real strings, and different sorts of lyrics. Trust me!

4. No one knows what it's like
Very serious, almost ghoulish, Who's Next-izing. Will there be a song called "Your Wife"? No. But there might certainly be one called "Getting Out of Tune". Sure to be a Masterpiece!
