Lauz! How dare you talk smack about Saint Bono! lol...honestly, I think he comes off as a twat but I do think he and the band have done a lot of good things charity-wise with their money and time. But I'm a fan of their music first and foremost, and I still love them. Their last album turned a lot of people off, and I was kind of glad, because it wasn't the instantly accessible music they've done for so long. I think it's probably one of their best albums ever, but it takes a lot of listens to get to that point. I've seen them 5 times, and they're the only band I ever want to see in a stadium, because they completely fucking make that place feel like a 200-person club. It's amazing. ETA: I have actually seen all the band members sign autographs and take pics w/fans at their shows (though I couldn't get within a block of them b/c of all the people) Anyhoo...yeah, FF...and Alex...what's up with them?

They were at their peak in 2004 when I latched onto em, when it seemed a Dorothy type scenario of waking up, walking out the door and finding myself on Planet Franz- you couldn't move here without seeing them on front covers, award shows, music programmes and y'know...its nice for a while. I'm sure they had fun. But how big do you want them to get?! U2 proportions? That makes me feel violently ill. You mention the US overlooking them- the UK is no better. I hate to admit that this wee piece of land has forgotten Franz or at least the *media* have. Which isn't always such a bad thing. However as we're all well aware the music industry is a fickle business, you're flavour of the month before being chewed up and spat out. If a band has built a steady following, as have Franz which makes their "position" more secure. The difference being: This band have actually WORKED HARD for where they are and this generally pays off in the long term. I could reel off a thousand other bands that "made it" the year Franz did- but half of them I can't even remember. Which says it all. +1 i'm just going to say that here, if you say FF, people have the idea of the 2004 FF: homoerotic music and elegant suits, therefore people who listen to them are other kind of people, and it doesn't bother me, I'm one of those 'modern' persons

That reminds me of a song by another Scottish band from back in the day, Eugenius - "I put a pebble in my shoe..." so now I have "I found a lizard in my shoe" stuck in my head. lol

Not sure what to say to that. His opinion maybe but a tad insensitive in choice of phrase Alexander?

Lookylou, you forgot me ... Just as long as the lizard didn't bite him, it's no big deal. Sorry, Lil! And, also, would be nice if he expounded a little bit on the Ian Curtis thing. Does sound a bit insensitive as is :/

Phoenix is from France, I know that much - but I couldn't name you a song of theirs - lol
I just saw the Lolla lineup and had mixed feelings because on one hand, Chicago isn't too far for me and I would DIE to see FF this summer outside in Chicago!! But on the other hand, I'm kind of glad because maybe this means their focus will be on a followup album instead of another summer of constant festivals!
