Ever feel like you need a hug from someone special or er, a roomful of complete stranger? If your answer is yes, you just might want to attend a cuddle party. Not really a touchy, feely type, the idea freaks me out but you might like it.
The Fiery Furnaces are one of the those bands that I saw for the first time and then got totally hooked on. Talulah and I caught them opening for The Kills at Mercury Lounge last spring. Eleanor hopped around like a bird. Matt scowled. The other day, the came up in conversation with a friend that dismissed them during the lo-fi, duo with dubious relationship frenzy and is now returning for another listen. Check them out. Seeing Matt behave badly is half the fun of seeing them live.
