no show today
Roundup:
- Sorry! I know. I missed Tuesday. I have a good excuse though. Three words (well, actually one, repeated three times with an extra 's' on the third): 'Yeah Yeah Yeahs'. They were fantastic, for the record.
- Not much news, a couple of interviews, one very amazing video, an appropriate amount of photos, and heck, even some Andy Knowles thrown in for good measure.
News:
- The only news I can offer you isn't really about Franz... Well. It sort of is. In a 'oh, alright' sort of way. If you remember, Franz did the lovely, ice-cream filled John Varvatos ads. Well, now Varvatos is going with 'ZZ Top'. An interesting progression. I'm still waiting for the non-watermarked photos of them in a boat to show up. Bob likes boats, after all. And pretzels. (This is me trying to stretch out a severely lacking news section, is it working?)
Interviews:
- A video interview with Bob and Nick when they toured the USA (slash-one-date-in-Canada-thank-you-very-much) back in April/May with the Born Ruffians. It's called "Franz Ferdinand and Human Bones." This would be great... If a thousand other journalists hadn't already asked about it (I smell a 'What She Came For pt. 2'). [Watch It.]
- Sometimes, Bob does interviews. In this specific interview, Bob talks about touring with Green Day. Thanks Bob. [Read More.]
Videos:
- THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE ON THE INTERWEBS. I thought this was going to be lost in the vast, empty internet black hole for good. But it's not, and all thanks to Camilla from ffg.
So really, enjoy this video. Because this just about sums it up:

Twitter Updates:
- None
Photos:
- Some fan photos from Franz's performance at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC on May 7, 2009. Oh memories... mostly of creeping Parker. Sorry Parker. [See More.]
- Two of Alex from Paredes de Coura (July 30)... Always of Alex. [See More.]
- Some more from Paredes de Coura. [See More.]
- One from Energy In The Park (August 1). Sorry Bob, this is what you get for being on the other side of the stage. [See More.]
- Alex performing at Birmingham Academy (March 8, 2009). In case you haven't noticed, there seems to be a running theme with photographers. It's called: "forget the rest of the band exists". [One] [Two]
- T in the Park Gallery. And hey! Glimpses at other members that aren't the guy with the microphone! (I swear I'm not bitter.) [See More.]
Andrew Knowles Update:
- Andy, drumming for Killa Kella. He sure likes the bands/artists that use alliteration. Unfortunately you'll have to sort through them all. [See More.]
... But if you're extremely lazy (and admit it, you are), here are a few to browse: [One] [Two] [Three] [Four] [Five]
Other:
- If you're bored, this user has up all the audio of Franz Ferdinand's set from Paredes de Coura (July 30). So if you've got time to kill (or just really really really want to listen to 'Shopping For Blood'), go crazy. I'll wait. [Listen Here.]
- Win tickets to see Franz in Venice, Italy on December 8, 2009. Assumably you need to be in Venice/have a way of getting there. But if you start walking now, you should be fine. It's in Italian though, so buy a dictionary first. [Enter Here.]
