two-twenty

shamrock shake

This seems at once very au courant and incredibly imbecilic: a Franz Ferdinand "Take Me Out" / Kelis "Milkshake" mash up mix (via stereogum) It's true what they say about the fine line betwen clever and stupid, and that mix is tromping all over it. For the opportunity to check out Franz Ferdinand's recent album online, try here (also via stereogum, obvs). For the opportunity to check out Kelis' double-thick chocolate frappe... wait, you've spent the last two months trying to get it out of your head. Sorry.

While on the subject of Franz Ferdinand, two-twenty must point out one thing: is it just us or do they remind one a bit of Dopo Yume? We (well, at least some of us) were at the February FF show at the Bowery (we left the critiquing to more practiced reviewers) and really enjoyed it and felt maybe even a little caught up in the heady atmosphere of unabashed boy worship... but in the end we decided that perhaps they are not the second coming of christ. That title clearly belongs to The Faint.
