Heard it through the indie grapvine!
Fresh from scooping prestigious UK award
the Mercury Music Prize, arty Glaswegian quartet
Franz Ferdinand embark on another debauched US
tour. But are they all they seem? Apparently not! Before hitting the big time, friends knew exotic-sounding singer
Alex Kapranos as plain old
Alex Huntley. And why do you never read about his age? Could he be the wrong side of
35? Our lips are sealed—for now.
Man of the moment
Kanye West has apparently commissioned a re-creation of Michelangelo's ultra-famous Sistine
Chapel in his dining room. Like the
Pope, the rapper will now be dining with more than 50 cherubs and saints above
him. Having already depicted himself as a preacher in his "Jesus Walks" video, could Kanye be
preparing to feed the five thousand?
Rumor has it that
Stellastarr (the best band
ever, probably) will be heading back into the studio
someday. We are gagging to hear a brand new batch
of their adept and original compositions. You go, 'Starr!
What is it about gorgeous, pouting
Razorlight frontman
Johnny Borrell? Why does he always look so…desperate? Word has it the blond hunk has a voracious appetite
for "refreshments." Could that be why
he appeared so crazed performing the smash hit "Golden Touch" on British TV recently? That track, incidentally, is all about indie beauty
Mairead from hip UK party-starters
the Queens Of Noize…swoon!
Las Vegas' lipglossed synth punks
The Killers all worked in the same mall before they met! They each did time at the palatial
Aladdin hotel shops, hooking up only after
Dave placed an ad in a local
paper.
