Franz Ferdinand are the band for 2004, or at least the last two weeks of January 2004, longer if they are lucky. If the Raveonettes are the new Jesus and Mary Chain, and Interpol the new Joy Division, then apparently Franz Ferdinand is the new Orange Juice or Josef K. And before you ask the question, yes, we do need one of those and much more than anyone needed the other two.
My favorite line is from "Michael": "...you're the boy with all the leather hips, sticky hair, sticky hips, stubble on my sticky lips".
