Pop Culture Rants

Compare the following two tracks. Both are considered alternative rock, but while Franz Ferdinand (the group, not the assassinated archduke of the early 20th century) originated in Glasgow, Scotland, according to its MySpace.com profile page, Finger Eleven hails from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Overall, the two bands have different sounds, but with their most popular tracks, they resemble each other musically, if only for a moment.


Take Me Out
by Franz Ferdinand (2004)


Paralyzer by Finger Eleven (2007)


By the way, Finger Eleven will be playing April 26 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion, as part of the sold-out 94.5 FM the Buzz Buzzfest annual concert.

So what do you think about the similar style these songs share?

There is some semblance indeed. I will be going to Buzzfest, then to Dallas for Edgefest the next day. The following day I start a TV show with Tommy Lee...which ought to be fun.

M. newscast (including Fox Sports X.-tra). I try to be the infusion of pop culture around the newsroom. I have provided disc jockey services in the past so I'm knowledgeable about most music formats. I look forward to open exchange among other visitors to the myMusic Houston page and myMusic Houston blogs and message boards.
