lonelybritWhy do I love Franz Ferdinand, and why do I love Alex Kapranos and Bob Hardy? I'll tell you why I love these people, well, I'll spam you with another random example of one of the many reasons:
Random wanderings around LJ led me to old scans of the NME issue where Franz Ferdinand interviewed Neil Morrissey. My initial reaction when greeted by the cover was, 'Hey, Morrissey has a male harem!', before realising that the harem was in fact the band. *cough*
In any case, it was a very fun interview. My three highlights:-
Morrissey: But you're frighteningly young, aren't you? Your exact ages are what?
Bob: I'm 23.
Morrissey: That's horrible
and...
Morrissey: What honestly was the first album you ever bought?
Bob: Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.
Morrissey: I wish you hadn't been that honest. [everyone laughs]
Bob: I was six years old!
Morrissey: It doesn't matter if you were six minutes old.
Bob: I should have lied.
...finishing off with...
Morrissey: Well, people always assume that the lead singer leads the charge. Is that true?
Bob: Not always.
Morrissey: Does that mean mostly always?
Bob: It's nothing you can't argue with... We worked together at other jobs as well before. Alex and I were chefs together.
Alex: So we're used to yelling at each other.
Morrissey: What a strange life.
*sigh* Thus a very happy LB wandered onwards and walked completely unprepared into a Bob pic-spam. Poor Bob, I'm sure most men would rather have the 'rawr' or 'GUH' reaction when fans see their pics. But nope, I have to keep with the AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:
*double sigh* By now fully stoked up on the Bob-love, LB finally floated past the official site to discover yet another highly diverting Kapranos blog entry:
*grin* Well, that's one way to throw a sulk, I suppose. I do love this band.

*double sigh* By now fully stoked up on the Bob-love, LB finally floated past the official site to discover yet another highly diverting Kapranos blog entry:
"I went to see the Tiger Lilies last night. They were wonderful - as vomit and seedy-sex-stained as ever. I got Bob a signed CD, but he doesn't know yet, unless he's reading this.
...[continues with how he stopped blogging because he got bored of the press picking up on everything he wrote and making it 'Kapranos Slams X, Y, Z', then remarks on how he wasn't even sure what 'Slamming' was, before deciding that he didn't actually give a toss.]...
So here you are. If you're a bored journo looking for a bite, here's one ready prepared:
'KAPRANOS SLAMS KAPRANOS. The floppy haired Scots rocker (27) today launched an unprecedented attack on the Take Me Out rocker (36). Earlier this page, the slight singer (59) slighted Franz Ferdinand, claiming 'I feel the urge to say fu*k it'. When asked what he thought of their music, the stripy-topped fop (48) said he'd 'rather sit in the park drinking Bu*kfast'. Food fan Kapranos (12) responded by stating "Oh look, we're in Frankfurt today". Duuuh!!! Nice one, Alex. You're actually in Auckland! These rockers don't know they're cominggoingbornhowluckytheyare.'"
*grin* Well, that's one way to throw a sulk, I suppose. I do love this band.
