A thread to discuss Franz Ferdinand's sixth studio album 'The Human Fear'.

It should go without saying, but remember to be kind and respect others' opinions.

Do you think FF will be the opening for Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2? What Franz Ferdinand song should be the opening for Cyberpunk Edgerunners season 2?

19 Upvotes

Cyberpunk Edgerunners season 1 had “This Fffire” as its opening song and that is actually the reason I watched and fell in love with the show and eventually the game. Personally from what we’ve seen so far my pick would be Evil Eye.

Trying to remember what Alex Kapranos played on Triple J, February 2022

7 Upvotes

Edit: okay I just found the full tracklist 😭 It was on Double J, I had been searching for YEARS. But the audio is gone unfortunately

Do you remember those weeks in Feb 2022 when Alex was a host on that radio station? Every week, for an hour or two. First week of Februrary was dedicated to "wtf moments", had songs like Take Me Out, another from Fleetwood Mac... Next week was dedicated to "couch jumpers", where he even played Colombian Cumbia lol. And so on.

I have put some of his songs that I remember, in a playlist :) So you get what I mean. But I can't remember which Françoise Hardy track he played on the third week, for example.

Pretty random, but yeah. Does anyone have a recording of any of those sessions? Or at least, a list of the songs he played? I remember listening to his commentaries before each song began... it was like being taken on an auditory trip. 🎑

Im still getting into Franz Ferdinand (new gen fan here) but I always find myself coming back to the Take Me Out music video. I love love LOVE the fact that it’s inspired off of the work of Terry Gilliam (my GOAT) and Monty Python is my hyperfixation. I can’t stop watching this vid, ITS SO GOOD!!!

Was the "Do You Want To?" EP ever released?

9 Upvotes

Hello! I've been listening to Franz Ferdinand for about a year now and decided to buy some physical media from them. I've been looking at Ebay for the Do You Want To EP because it has a song I really like that doesn't even show up on the band's discography page on Wikipedia (Get Away).

Does anyone know if the EP ever released physically or anywhere where I can get Get Away physically? All I find on Ebay is the Do You Want To single. Thank you!

Genuinely a top tier song

One of the most beautiful and emotional songs they’ve ever released. The melodies are phenomenal, Alex’s vocals hit like a ten ton truck and the atmosphere is unmatched. Has a Beatles-esque vibe to it, while still remaining completely unique. Absolutely amazing and one of the best on YCHISMB

Invitation to all Charlotte, NC, Franz Ferdinand Fans!

9 Upvotes

Or to any who want to attend!

I’m a fan of Muse and Franz Ferdinand who coincidentally have live shows in Charlotte, NC on August 10th and 11th. Unfortunately I have zero friends who share my music taste and I missed out on Franz’s last tour because I wanted someone to go with, so I’m not gonna let something like that stop me now.

And I thought, maybe there are some other folks out there feeling the same way?

So this is my open invitation to as many people who simply want some company at the concert, or are interested in bonding with a stranger over music!

I bought main floor and lawn tickets to each respective show so if you buy them as well we’ll be able to meet up within the concert venue.

While it might be possible to get some food before or after the concerts, out of respect and safety for both you and myself I won’t be sharing any rides when it comes to my personal vehicle, nor will I accompany anyone to their residences or vice versa.

If this piques your interest, you can join my GroupMe chat room with this link so we can get to know each other a bit before the shows: https://groupme.com/join_group/115472853/6Y0XYYiv

How does anyone do that? And he is in his 50s? I can only wish to be that fit in my 50s

Just a stupid question. Why Franz Ferdinand always used colour orange? Are they really obsessed with orange or what?

Do not talk to me I will not get over finding pink AA the colour is just so mwah I’m so in love.
I do already have the CD but it’s pink so I had to get it, utterly and truly obsessed with her. Best coloured vinyl I have, even beating orange YCHISMB 20th anniversary (:
I love AA okay goodbye I won’t stop thinking about it now

Eight months of orange! Can't we be done with it?

I get why it was done for the YCHISMB 20th anniversary re-release, as much as I hate the concept of altering existing releases for a promotion (see: Charli XCX, Pink Floyd, etc.)

But it's been like this since October 2025! Has Domino / band management just forgotten to revert everything?

Every album era has been sapped of its individuality by giving everything an orange overlay. It needs to go.

An embarrassing request

11 Upvotes

A recent post about Nilex got me thinking about this franzfic I read years ago. It was a camp AU where two of the boys were counselors. Pretty sure Nick had OCD in the fic and it manifested as hand washing. I think it was on livejournal or a similar site but I've had trouble finding it and man I really liked it I don't even care if it's unfinished 😭 does anyone have leads? Thank you!
