Yaay! Well, thankfully God didn't strike them down for the cover - He said He was really happy with it - it was done for an album for Radio 1 to celebrate forty years of the station. Check out The Streets' cover of Your Song on Youtube for a true murder of a classic song.
Aww! Poor Travis!
I think the reason I love Franz so much is that even when they sing about darker stuff like losing someone or World War I, they maintain a silly and cheerful demeanour, never taking themselves too seriously. I can't bear this current rash of feel-bad music - Coldplay, Keane, Katie Melua, Athelete - "Whoooah life's so baaaad I cry myself to sleeeep" - I mean, what purpose does it serve? Everyone likes a weepy song every now and then, but a whole album? A whole movement?
I even like Franz's cheeky Scottishness. One of their new songs is called English Goodbye. >:p

I would be so grateful for some Bowieness!
