You Could Have it so Much Better

Franz Ferdinand
Sony

COUP D’Etat’s first double CD was a wonderful mix of world music – so when I spotted Coup D’Etat Part 2, it was snapped up immediately.

Franz Ferdinand is a band with a winning edge. You Could Have it so Much Better is the same Franz as their debut album brought out 18 months ago – light post-punk. It can’t be judged fairly on the first listen, so run it a few times.

With ditties like You’re the Reason I’m Leaving and Walk Away, Franz Ferdinand will have you rocking on. Two thumbs up.

Back to Bedlam

James Blunt
Atlantic

It turns out that James Blunt is the guy that sings that quirky song that gets stuck in your head. After a listen to the CD, it’s apparent he sings other familiar quirky songs as well.

You’re Beautiful and High are two enchanting tunes with unusual lyrics and beautiful melodies.

A note of interest: Blunt served with the British Army.
