a-chan Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 hahaha! I love their smile.., I think Nick must be a really good person, looks natrural and happy. I love his way of holding his guitar. Me too!! The way he holds his guitar cracks me up XD So odd! On Nick, Alex wrote, on his book about eating on tour, the little habits of his bandmate in restaurant. Paul always put his napkin on his plate when he's finished as if he's covering a dead body (dixit Alex XD), Bob 'chew' his glass and Nick is apparently always daydreaming in front of his menu and always very surprised when the waiter 'wakes him up' when he asks him his order :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Alex has a book?? :shocked2: Yeah :) It's called 'sound bites'. It was at first a column he did for the journal The Guardian but with its success he made a book of it. [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sound-Bites-Eating-Franz-Ferdinand/dp/1905490097]Sound Bites: Eating on Tour with "Franz Ferdinand": Amazon.co.uk: Alex Kapranos: Books[/ame] did alex say anything about his own habits in restaurants? i like Paul's habit-- giving respect to the food when it's all gone. :laugh3::laugh3: Yeah he did actually! He spoke also about his own experience as commis in kitchen's restaurants, a job he did for years before Franz and where he met Bob. He also spoke about his experience with food as a child (which is quite funny!). The book is overall quite funny (he ate things I couldn't XD), there are little drawings (not from Alex) and our frontman is a good writer. I enjoyed it very much :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(dunno if there's more than one tbh) I have the self titled one and it's pretty awesome. :cheesy: I think there is only one :thinking: I've got this one: Love the documentary called 'Tour de Franz' (:laugh3: word game about 'tour de france', the french famous bicycle race... You see Bob came up with that on the documentary XD). As for the lives are great as usual :cool: For the music video, I think my favorite will always be 'Take me out' cause this is the song that started it all for me back in 2004... :rolleyes: and it's just so 'franzish' (The one for 'this fire' is kinda like this one too) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZGcw9HHOkU]YouTube- Franz Ferdinand - Take me Out[/ame] I love the one for 'Walk away' cause it's a mini retro movie! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJtrWONXUtk]YouTube- Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away[/ame] Dark of the matinee is cool too. So retro-kitch :lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQZzB0-yMeI]YouTube- The Dark of The Matinée - Franz Ferdinand - Music Videos[/ame] I like 'do you want to' also where they crash into a contemporain (?) museum /party :lol: but for this one, I'll put the ending credit of a japanese anime (called 'Paradise kiss') which used this song on it! I was :shocked2: and :dance: when I watched it! It suited the anime well ^^ [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMyewX1aDRs]YouTube- Paradise Kiss - Ending (Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To)[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 HI! I love their videos... I like michael too. This fire is good, but he (alex) reminds me of Muse singer, Matt... hahahaha. I think my fav is Do you want to. I have read that they are going to make a DVD of a concert in Lima... Btw, are there any news of new CD? or is it too soon to make a new one....? I want to see them in concert!!!! Ohh do you know what???! I have played a new song of them on bass.. it's not difficult but I like it. Come on home...

a-chan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Naaaa, Alex is better than Matt Bellamy in every way !! :smug: But that's true, they look alike? I guess it's the thin face and jaw line. As for a new album, they've just finished the Latin America tour. But Alex said a few weeks ago that he started writing again with Nick. Here the quote from BBC music "I've been round at Nick's and we've been writing some things, and trying to do things in a different way again," he explained. "You'll hear it before too long." Kapranos added that he was a touch wary about revealing too much about the writing sessions this early on, however. "Before the last record I talked far too much about it," he said, "as we had the ideas and I made a vow that I wasn't going to say anything about what we are actually doing until we've done it, and then wait about another three weeks." Didn't I posted it here already?? :thinking: If not, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
