Alex Kapranos Of Franz Ferdinand Encourages Downloading Music

The internet to me is like the radio, it's a way of hearing new songs and then going to a shop to buy them. File-sharing is something that has really helped us as a band in getting established. When Franz Ferdinand played a gig in New York for the first time, a lot of people there already knew our songs and were singing along.- Alex Krapanos

This is big news! Obvs. Read more of Alex's candid quotes here.

We are so impassioned by his statements that at this very moment we have Kazaa and Soulseek running while working on our own mash-up called The Flack Album. It's a mix of Jay-Z's The Black Album and Roberta Flack's. Softly With These Songs. Our tentative tracks are:

1. Threat / You Know What It's Like
   
2. Lucifer / Killing Me Softly With His Song
   
3. Dirt of Your Shoulder / My Foolish Heart
   
4. 99 Problems / Will You Love Me Tomorrow
   
5. Justify My Thug / Feel Like Makin' Love

We predict this jawn will reach triple cubic zirconium by 2020.
