don't get all sassy with me. I know that. I listened to them back then.
MM and FF coincide in a teeny boppers mind.
MM popularity is only recent hit in the same popularity boat stream as FF.
Ok, I'm done. This is moving along like the energizer bunny.

What the hell are you talking about, Evil? Lay off the crack

I'm confused but it could be creamy crack distracting me.
Vacant, is my mind Radiohead burned or did you make a Radiohead reference just then? I'm sure not but just checking
extra credit for you if you did.

a positive aspect on Franz Ferdinand is that the aren´t called "the" Franz Ferdinand and a negative thing is that they´re all wearing suits ....i´m not into suit bands.

I love suit bands.... the music that those type of bands play is quite catchy. Not to mention the guys look hot in their suits....oh and when they add a little eyeliner.

I like the suits as well..It gives a whole stage presence that isn't there with jeans and tees..

sadlyly I love the suits as well...
but it's just a perk to the music of a band

I see suits everyday, i rather see bands in there most relaxed clothes, if its suits then more power to them

but there is so much more to it .....i love bands that dress up !!! i mean, wearing weird costumes or whatever ....

Nah..Unless it's done as a spoof like Beck's band used to do..Otherwise it's nothing but a lame gimmick..

yeeeeah, like in the BRILL midnite vultures days ...exactly. or like ---you´ll hate me for mentioning them over and over--- Devo or adam ant or george clinton and his backing band or the beastie boys at "intergalactic". i am into the idea of weird costumes and overalls ---i suggested we should have overalls at the office but they thought it was starking mad. i´d like it, running around like a scientist in a white overall....my fave midnite vultures dress were those american football shoulder and knee pads and the transfusion packages ....brilliant.
unforunately no picture to be found on google.

I also see the band suits as a bit of a pun.
Here they are "no talent drugged out bum rock stars"
In suit and tie.
Kind of like Rene Magritte and his bowler cap/suit in tie. (Modern art buffs will understand)
Dress like the norm, because you are abnormal.
But I don’t know, that’s just a fun way to look at it.
It also just look cool


Devo so rocks my socks and so on

yeeees, mark and his goggles...brill. you know the "worried man" video ? or the robotic dancers in the background of "girl you want" ? high class.

oh, i found a picture at last ...

its not a very good pict, but woo!!

oooh, i forgot to mention Outkast and esp. Andre 3000 !!! their costumes are the shitniz also ...

oh yes.

I saw a local band last wednesday, and they were all wearing scrubs. It was spiffy.

i´d like to dress up as Cleopatra if i´d have to play a gig .....has there been a band before who performed in their pyjamas ?????

I saw Devo and Franz play at the same concert.
Goodtimes.

oh lucky you !! which show was that ?

it´s so weird, a Munich-based friend of a friend of mine is dating Matthew McCarty, the brother of Nick from Franz Ferdinand. and they´re gonna marry now so she´ll be related to him. gee, this world is a small place somehow. everyone´s related or befriended with everyone.

AWWWW! I wanted to go to that show but fell short of $$, fine, be cooler then me :P

Hah, I know this girl who wears big fuzzy coats, you know those jackets that look like you killed a bear for it's fur. She has one in every colour.

i´ve seen a German interview with Nick yesterday and he said they got their name from a race horse and that they´re going to be in the upcoming Harry Potter film. not its OST but they are going to be featured in the movie. hehe. that´s cute.

Didn't we already talk about them in the movie? They're going to be the band The Weird Sisters that play at the Yule Ball..:duh:

tsk, the weird sisters ...who came up with that name ?

Damn..I don't know which thread it was in..We tend to go off topic quite a bit on this board, huh?

Yeah..I'm so stoked for the movie in general..:D

gee, i have so many dejavu experiences.....starking mad.

do you think de-ja-vu is a real phenomenon or just spiritual hoax ?

maybe it´s like in that Bill Murray / Andy McDowell movie ?

me, I'm all about Ghost Busters

i once got so sick from putting marshmallow fluff on pancakes....and i had like 6 pancakes...argh.
marble syrup would have been better. hmmm, marble syrup.
