Shakers, Cutler, Guardian.

Guardian review of the Legendary Shack*Shakers here (played Manchester last Monday) and an appreciation of Ivor Cutler by Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand here.

Who have Franz Ferdinand now NOT cited as an influence?

I'm not sure, but have they yet cited Josef K as their chief inspiration, cos it seems to me, although I quite enjoy Franz's music, it is a complete rip-off of Paul Haig and his chums.

Reidski, that's telepathy.

As far as I know they haven't mentioned Josef K, but I had Endless Soul on last Saturday morning (while I cleaned the house) and it was crystal clear to me too. Couldn't agree more.
