Shattered Digits
Franz Ferdinand (the band) hit some struggles during their tour this week when an “ugly piece of art” fell off the wall and smashed their drummer’s finger causing him to have to leave the tour. The band blamed the hotel who forced them to wait in the lobby for hours as they had given their rooms booked months prior away to the Moroccan royal family. Adding injury to insult of extremely bad hotel customer service is nothing anyone should have to deal with.
Album of The Week
Shallow Grave - Tallest Man on Earth (2008)
“With all this fever in my mind
I could drown in your kerosene eyes”
“I guess he’ll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I’ll return”
Although the name of the band is a little misleading because Kristian Matsson is not actually the tallest man on earth. This album is a great Scandinavian take on a Bob Dylan style album where the comparisons between the two artists are impossible to avoid, but still has its own identity. This whimsical and often nonsensical folk album is a treat and would fit in almost any era giving it a timeless feel.
Best New Track: Like I Used to
“Spent most of my time crying when I was with you
You’d say I was emotional
But it turns out only from the things you do”

“I want to die today
And make love with you in my grave”

And I wished it was warmer
And when I got home, I thought about you”

And tell me once or twice
That love is paradise”
