Franz Ferdinand may play Ugly Sisters in the next Harry Potter film.
Or should this go in the movie thread?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.

Fire Engines, dammit. Franz Ferdinand are a more commercial Fire Engines. OJ were way more twee and music-hall-y than FF are.
But you're right that I much prefer the Go-Betweens over Orange Juice. That's more by default though. Edwyn's voice annoys me to no end.

Purchased yesterday: New Tom Waits, New Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and Smile.
Haven't gotten a chance to listen to any of them yet, though.
