Franz Ferdinand Announces Webchat This Weds/Thurs

The members of Franz Ferdinand are "delighted" to share the news of their forthcoming web chat. Anyone can join this chat ... as long as they've registered their e-mail address with the Franz Ferdinand website. If there's an increase in the amount of e-mail you get offering amazing deals on mail-order Cialis, it's probably a coincidence.

Please note that the following schedule, including Vancouver and Ottawa's new geopolitical assignment, is straight from Franz Ferdinand's website (which is "resting" at the moment... but, really, it is!). Perhaps this has something to do with Canada's election. Whatever the reason, welcome, new Americanadians!

We know a bit about you, Vancouverites and Ottawans! Permit me to demonstrate. You are well-known for your affection for hockey! Relationships are partly about compromise. Please forget about hockey now; it's not our "thing" here. However, we are willing to let you try to spread the polite and charming ways you are stereotypically known for, as our part of the bargain. You're welcome! Sharing means caring.

Franz Ferdinand - Fade Together (from You Could Have It So Much Better)
