“There is an old box in the back room, next to the staff bathroom, we are sending them down to the town shop, as we really only sell high class fashions in this…emporium.” The words ‘town shop’ is almost spat out in disgust. The lady looks at Tim and there is a sort of disappointed look on her face, we have perhaps dashed a fantasy of hers of us being high class transsexuals. She is possibly the poshest lady I have ever spoken to, she pulls her glasses, which are on a string of, up over her nose and stares at us, when Tim asks her “Do you sell music in here, love?”. …….which is why Badger and I are standing inside a small room about to ask this lady if they sell CDs. TSOBO Rule #3 was of course, ‘Never walk past a Charity Shop if its Open’ TSOBO Rule #12 was ‘Never shop in Tesco (unless you have to)’ and TSOBO Rule #17 ‘Keep Left (always)’. TSOBO Rule #28 for instance was ‘Never Leave the Biscuit Barrell empty’. The manifesto contained at the end 62 rules, which, if followed, would make your life easier and much more enriched. Some of you may remember that when Badger, KT and I were writing The Sound of Being Ok Blog (TSOBO) we drew up a manifesto, which we tried wherever we could to put it to the test-o. We have ambled on in expecting to find a treasure trove of CDs and vinyl but find ourselves face to face with a Margaret Thatcher look alike who is a wearing twin set and pearls and is enjoying Radio 3 in the background. It clearly stated ‘Rowcroft Hospice Charity…’ on the front of the shop.
Essentially Badger and I have walked into a ladies dress boutique thinking that it was a charity shop.
We are to be honest a little out of place. The ladies are looking at Badger and I as if we are weirdos. #5b bought – Rowcroft Hospice Boutique, Wellswood, Torquay for £1 #5a bought – Rowcroft Hospice Boutique, Wellswood, Torquay for £1. #5b – Tonight – Franz Ferdinand (Domino Records, 2009)

They continue to sit in the left-field of UK Indie and delight fans old and new at festivals and gigs around the world, but for many Take Me Out remains both a stand-out and a timeless indie classic in a back catalogue full of great songs.#5a – Ego Tripping At The Gates of Hell – The Flaming Lips (Warner Bros, 2003) FC Teplice and FC Barcelona fell victim to the Bhoys in Green and White and thoughts turned to another final (this time in Sweden) before the Yellow Submarine of Villarreal CF knocked us out at the quarter final stages.įranz Ferdinand went on to release 5 Top 10 UK albums, including the number 1 You Could Have it so Much Better. They dropped from the Champions League into the knock-out stages of the UEFA Cup. In Europe, Celtic could not quite hit the heights of Seville, a game Franz Ferdinand drummer Paul Thomson recalls watching in between band rehearsals. The team would go on to secure the league by a handsome 17-point margin. On the pitch, Celtic started January 2004 in dizzying form with wins against Rangers, Ross County, Hearts, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock as part of a winning 25-game SPL run. Perhaps if they were called ‘The Ferdinands’… Listen to JOHN BARNES with A Celtic State of Mind here: They had a look and a sound that set them apart from many of their contemporaries, even though critics and fans alike would try to lump them in with other indie landfill acts like The Kooks or The Vines. Yes the charts were a bit more eclectic, something we looked at in the Supersonic piece, but Will Young? Victoria Beckham? Shane effing Ritchie? Take Me Out and Franz Ferdinand brought some art-school smarts and craft to the charts and were warmly embraced by the indie kids, who propelled the song up to the dizzying heights of number 3 in the UK Top 40. The vocals are unleashed and we are carried along in the fuzz of angular guitars, tight drums and the continual demand to take them out.

A crack appears and a guitar riff is unleashed that burrows its way far enough in to lodge itself firmly in the listener’s head, like a corrective ear worm for the fascist mind or stick of dynamite, ready to blow the edifice sky high. If you close your eyes, it could be the sound of a foot or fist repeatedly smashing a fascist face, or water pounding against a granite edifice. The guitars become less frantic and meld into one with the drums. And then something strange and unexpected happens. The song builds as we career towards a chorus in a crescendo of guitars and drums. It’s January 2004 and Franz Ferdinand have announced themselves on to the scene with their second single Take Me Out (after their debut and minor bit Darts of Pleasure in late 2003). If you are lonely they are there for you, but you’ll need to keep up with them. A guitar crashes through an office window and off we go.
