The Killers
They became really popular starting last summer, and coasted on their first album for the entire last year, releasing a new single every three or four months to keep interest up. Brandon Flowers, the frontman, wears too much makeup. But that's forgiveable. Even Green Day wears too much makeup nowaday. Also, his last name is too hippie for someone who isn't actually a hippie. In general I can never remember what songs are called, but with The Killers it's easy because the name of the song is always such a major prominent part of the lyrics. They've had some lame rivalry with The Bravery because they sound similar. Listening to the Bravery actually makes me like the Killers less, and it doesn't make me like the Bravery either. 6/10

Franz Ferdinand
Last summer was the time when Take Me Out came out as well. Franz and the Killers were consistently played together on the radio for the entire summer. Always, one after the other. But after the summer Franz's singles never made it as big as The Killers'. They were just as popular a band, but they got a quarter as much radio time. For most of the year it sort of puzzled me, but it occurs to me that Franz Ferdinand just released a new album, and the Killers are still touring for their debut, so Hot Fuss was probably just being promoted like hell. Franz Ferdinand writes and plays better music than the Killers. 9/10

The Drummer From Franz Ferdinand
Amazingly ugly. Wow!
Really, look at him in this video. He's the third one over. There is nothing else remarkable about him. 4/10

Because that video isn't going to be hosted forever, and also because someone's computer might not have quicktime or something, here's a picture of Franz's drummer: Ugly Drummer
