I'm not a big fan of Paul McCartney of even The Beatles, though they have a few nice songs but we don't get so many big stars in Helsinki very often so we decided that it could be a good idea to go (though Metallica was here a few weeks ago and I didn't go
) (More)
Franz Ferdinand

It took me a while to figure out who was behind a song called "Take me
out". I tried googling but it was quite difficult, as I wasn't able to
understand much from the lyrics and as you might have guessed, you get
plenty of pages if you try to search for "take me out" 
Anyway,
in the end I found the name and they are called Franz Ferdinand, and I
like them. They play some kind of alternative rock and sometimes they remind me of young U2 (though don't believe too much because I don't know much about rock after all ) and their first album is also called "Franz Ferdinand". They already
have a couple of big hits out there: "Take me out" which is the one
that brought me to them and "The Dark of the MatinČe", but I also like other songs from the album such as "Fire" and "Auf Achse"... Though the album is a bit short (roughly 35 minutes), it was a great surprise to find a band like this, if only to take a break from my usual electronic stuff
