Franz Ferdinand available for Download

Posted in Music by Diggory

It’s a pity that Franz Ferdinand’s Mercury-award-winning album isn’t available from the iTunes Music Store (at least not in the UK yet.) I don’t really buy CD’s any more, so I thought I’d have to put off buying it until they got round to getting it on there - or ‘acquire’ it from a friend’s CD.

Take Me Out...

What’s that you say? It’s available DRM-free in MP3 format from Warp’s online music store Bleep? Well why didn’t you tell me that before!
