Do you want a go of where I'd never let you before?

Subversion...

is the fact that Franz Ferdinand has macho altrock teen boys all over the United States humming "Do You Want To" at this exact moment.

Well, he's a friend and he's so proud of you

Is it Franz Ferdinand? Is that your new favorite band?

Oh, wait, was the "guess" thing rhetorical?

I love it when lyrics aren't heeded, i.e., Born in the USA interpreted as patriotic. That's the funniest thing ever.

The two characters in Shakespeare most often quoted seem to be Malvolio from Twelfth Night and Polonius from Hamlet: "Some men are born great," etc and "This above all: to thine own self be true" - lines taken as advice to live by - and both said by some of the biggest hypocrites in literature.

Franz Ferdinand is, on second thought, my second favorite band still together--they're infinitesmally passed by Gogol Bordello. And then the Beatles and the Kinks were the greatest ever.

Yay! Franz Ferdinand is neat! I like Alex Kapranos, one of his old bands, the karelia, they had neat lyrics too. "Why do we aspire to be what we need not be, all that we need is to never need more than to be" Tim Reuter thinks that sounds like a communist thing to say. But yay for liking Franz Ferdinand! And actually paying attention to them.

see, just by the title iw as like, hmmm, because most male bands sing about women.. The Allman Brothers, Jessica and Melissa, Tommy Tutone - Jenny, etc etc.
yet here is an all male band singing about Michael.
But then theres Jaquline.

Just for girls? At least last time I checked. The bi male phenomenon hasn't spread here nearly as much yet.

Kim, where have you gone and when will you return to AIM and when will you put an end to these bitter Kimless mornings? When?
