Old Folks Review Dirty Projectors, Interview Fiery Furnaces
The last time Scott checked in with the old folks (his favorite folks) of Breakfast At Sulmay's, he requested they do Dirty Projectors next. And so they did. Seeing how polarizing the arty Brooklyn band's Bitte Orca can be among the Stereogum readership, whose average age is a mere 57, just imagine these seniors' response. (Ann asks, "Take a look at me, do I look like I'm into Oriental music?" It's a rhetorical question.) Also I think it's the only DPs review to work in a reference to Bob Dylan, so +1 on that. The panel's split on Wilco, and also takes on Yo La and Raphael Saandiq (spoken sic), but the predictable crankiness the series thrives on is paused for a legitimately adorable interview between Joe and the Fiery Furnaces. He schools Eleanor and Matt about "Shadrack" (the 1930s tune with lyrics about throwing kids "in the fiery furnace"), and overall the Friedbergers enjoy a quiet, wholesome rapport with the old timer. But that's not so surprising coming from a band that recorded an album with their grandma.
Wilco & Dirty Projectors
Joe Interviews Fiery Furnaces
Yo La Tengo & Raphael Saadiq
What should we ask for next? Phoenix? (UPDATE: Phoenix below, thanks Alex!) The new HEALTH? Polvo? Maybe they'd like that Bowerbirds song. Joe loves his lyrics, particularly when they don't sound Chinese.
Doom & Phoenix

I kinda feel bad for them at this point. They were never supposed to be in on the joke of this, and the lady thinks it's her opportunity for comedy.

What on earth is in that woman's hair? It is clearly stopping her from thinking and acting normally.

i actually got a bit choked up near the end of joe's fiery furnaces interview...
"We sincerely wish you all success and not only financially but we wish you musical success and recognition. One of the great things that you need — people to recognize that you are artists."
i'm a little verklempt!
Score = 6
I ran into Joe at my local library up the street from Sulimay's. We talked for about ten minutes, and I just gotta say he is a really friendly, interesting and thoughtful guy.

So so good.

Ann just needs to disappear. She's reached the point where she realizes she got a platform for her 15 minutes and milks it for all it's worth. It's not about the music. It's about her mugging for the camera and making what she thinks are snarky remarks about music. She's not better than any of the self-absorbed wanks from The Hills. Punch her in the face now...
Score = 2
That bloody racist! That son-of-a-bitch cocknocker!
Can Ann ever listen to a song without premature comment?
It's impossible to really judge the merits of a song 15 seconds into its first play. Yet this is how most people listen to music.
