Someone gave me the new Mark Lanegan CD for my birthday, and I finally got around to listening to it.
Holy cats, it's really good! I never would have picked it up on my own and was puzzled that this person would have bought it for me, but now I'm sure glad he did.
Anyone heard the new Camper Van Beethoven?

Cool! I have two Screaming Trees songs. I love "All I Know."
Franz Ferdinand may play Ugly Sisters in the next Harry Potter film.
Or should this go in the movie thread?
I thought the band was the Weird Sisters, or Wyrd, or something like that? Anyway, huh. I keep hearing people rave about Franz Ferdinand but have not yet heard their music.
They're fun. They remind me of another Scottish band called apb whose singles I loved. Most people compare them to Orange Juice -- another Scottish band whose music I have managed to NEVER hear.

You might have heard a song by their former lead singer, Edwyn Collins, though - "A Girl Like You".

I can see why - and they have a sound of that moment - but they're way less jangly and fluid and more jerky and angular than orange juice. Also if you like jangly shambolic indie with a dash of soul no-one ever did it bette than Orange Juice.
