Chris Mule's MiM Mission Statement

"I can feel my lips undress your eyes"
Those who were at Burton and Jen's MiM a few months ago might remember me saying that I've felt like I've been in a rut with finding new music that really excites me lately. Maybe you don't remember. The point is that I said it. Well, soon after that Tuesday I picked up one of Newbury Comics' low-priced new CDs by a new Scottish group, Franz Ferdinand. It was cheap, I had heard some good things in the British press, so I didn't think I had anything to lose. As you might expect, the next thing I'm going to say is that FF is one of the most exciting new bands I've heard in a very long time. My British music bias probably plays a big role in my preference, but they are a really great band. They sound like a poppy Blur with Pulp's sleaze and some Pixies guitar work. On top of that, the lyrics (the title of this post is from "Darts of Pleasure") are interesting and fun to listen to; they aren't afterthoughts to the music. Unfortunately, I missed FF playing in Boston while I was in Hawaii, but I've heard from some friends that their live show is just as exciting as the record. So, if you want to find some good new tunes, I'd recommend FF to anybody who will listen to me. You can probably still get it for pretty cheap at Newbury Comics. I just hope now that I can find some other new music that can wow me like this album has. A scene has to start with someone.
