Franz Ferdinand

They were a lot better when they were called Gang of Four 20 years ago.

 

it's good rockin stuff with a disco-ish beat. the cd grows on you real quick.

 

I agree with rockhead, i bought the cd about 2 weeks ago, and i like it alot.

I also picked up Snow Patrol, that cd is awesome too.

 

Well if you like the Strokes you'll like them.

 

The new Gomez - Split The Difference, is good too!

 

I like how the Brewers play "Take Me Out" when opposing pitchers are removed.

 

Definitely.

 

haha... then just get the Franz Ferdinand... good stuff... and Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Like Bad News

 

Not as good as their other stuff, although I have had Float On stuck in my head for the past month.

 

Not really.

 

I got their CD recently and it is alright. People kept saying that it was better than Interpol. Well, I strenuously (sp?) disagree with that assessment. Interpol is the better band, IMO.

 

Anybody has something from the (also scotisch?) band called

BALLBOY

I just read some excellent reviews of their record "guide for daylight hours". Their songtitles are quite funny. Some examples:

1. avant garde music
2. where do the nights of sleep go to when they do not come to me
3. you can't spend your whole life hanging around with arseholes
4. i wonder if you're drunk enough to sleep with me tonight
5. i lost you, but i found country music
6. a europewide search for love
7. something's going to happen soon
8. nobody really knows anything
9. sex is boring
10. meet me at the shooting range
11. all the records on the radio are ****e
12. a man's a man for a' that


or
1. i hate scotland
2. essential wear for future trips to space
3. sex is boring
4. donald in the bushes with a bag of glue
5. olympic cyclist
6. i've got pictures of you in your underwear
7. one sailor was waving
8. swim for health
9. they'll hang flags from cranes upon my wedding day
10. postcards from the beach...
11. dumper truck racing
12. public park
13. a day in space
14. leave the earth behind you and take a walk into

It would be great if someone has heard anything from.

 

I was hoping for a good history thread.

 

When I first saw this thread, I thought it was about the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and skipped over it. Late last night though, I had fallen asleep with the TV on. I put it on MTV when they were having a news break about the new Jennifer Garner Movie, Elektra. After that, a video came on from Franz Ferdinand for the song Take Me Out. Damn, it was a good song. I know I've heard the music from the chorus before, but not sure where. Maybe a commercial for the CD or something.

Anyways when I saw the name of the band, it occured to me what this thread had actually been about.

 

I LOVE this disc.

Its creative.

Its fun.

Its a good driving CD.

It rocks.

Buy it.
