Franz Ferdinand just annoy me, I know I should get over it and concentrate on the music but I can't get over that smug art student superiority thing they got going, which is a pity coz they do have some kick ass riffs

It's just the way he says "I'm just a jealous guy". He sounds like an old man with a speech impediment eating a jar of treacle. Who fucking loves himself and sports a shitty moustache. It really winds me up.
ANd then you get the fucking sax solo! A sax solo?! WTF?! Are you Gerry Rafferty? No. Then fuck off. |

Well, since I was a smug art student, I don't mind so much. ;)
Hows about Alone again Or from the Damned or Calexico Original by Love.
