Not sure if this has been posted but there is a small thing on yesterdays Evening Standards Homes & Property section about Alex looking for a house in London. "Alex Kapranos, the lead singer in Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, has begun looking for a London base. "We have been showing him houses in the London Fields/Broadway Market area," says Davey Stone. "Hes very choosy - he wants a Victorian end of terrace property with a bit of character and some outside space." The price £500,000 to 700,000. The modest, Greek law lecturers son still owns his original one bedroom flat in Glasgow. He also has a mock-Tudor Dumfriesshire house with its own recording studio at Moniaive. "Rock stars used to be as rich as kings," observes Kapranos, "but Ive never had a desire to live in a castle or build a guitar shaped pool." Yes. Read it yesterday. Woulsd rather not comment

this is semi-old news that i have just now uncovered, so i suppose it's new old news. anyway, i don't think this has been posted or talked about..... as we know, alex did some acoustic set in a caravan a few months back. i was doing a bit of detective work this morning, and i found this podcast: www.glasgowpodcart.com/episode-79-baw-noise-2/and it contains a song from alex's acoustic set. it's a new one...a cute little tune. a friend of mine just ripped it for me, so here's a link if you don't want to deal with the whole podcast: www.mediafire.com/?dkl36lw676ry4cgjust excuse all this if i'm embarassingly late to the game

Random hint from the Amphetameanies on their facebook page preparing a gig on the weekend for their'special ex-members birthday'. Maybe some new photos coming up? Yes I am actually on here, my connection is very expensive and unfortunately forums use it up almost instantly with images etc when I have uni crap and counselling of crazy friends etc to do. But I have an addon that can let me go on here however I cannot see any of the images etc D: Ps:Facebook and twitter are exceptions though as the provider gives me free access. So yeah hi I miss you forum.

I suppose with such a legend as Ron though you'd be a bit lost for words. And imagine hanging with Ron and *that* mad stare lol

its the kind of content I'd expect from fearne cotton tbh I love most those acts but its too what he thinks the kids wanna hear. Very 'safe' and I refuse to believe he played his own record. He'd never surely .....? could that be that the club friendly suggested him stuff to play? and he didn´t bother and just played those songs? whenever he talked about bands that mattered to him he hardly mentioned those on the setlist (alex dj-ing but no bowie???!! for instance)
