Franz Ferdinand fuck this world <3
I bought this album when it came out stateside. I was 17. I learned how to play my guitar thanks to this album. I’ve tried several times to enjoy the Arctic Monkeys. Fuck the Arctic Monkeys… not saying they suck, they just don’t vibe with as much fun…. Oh and P.S. Franz Ferdinand is to the band Franz Ferdinand what Jethro Tull is the band Jethro Tull, and if you don’t know who Jethro Tull is, then don’t ever talk about European rock bands again.
@NathanM228 Same here! My friends think it’s weird, they were into S Club and I was into Franz Ferdinand. Little Indie Kid

@shoopdanerd yeah here we use it for things like weight and liquids and most distances are in metres are whatever except with roads we talk in miles and cars do miles per gallon.. and in normal speech we say feet and inches a lot, depends where you come from and how old you are though.. over here we seem to dislike doing things the way the rest of europe do, i don’t know why
