Turns out you won't need to wait for Madden '09 to hear new Franz Ferdinand. Also turns out that last sentence isn't complete nonsense. Alex and friends recently let us know we could expect a new song on the soundtrack to the EA's forthcoming football timesuck, but as with all things audio/visual, YouTube is first. "Katherine Kiss Me"'s been getting the live treatment for the past few weeks, but this is the best version to stream the web yet. Remember when Nick McCarthy said "there are too many guitar bands out there now" and so Franz was "going to lose the electric guitars and play synths"? Yeah, he lied.

Still very pop, very danceable, big hook, dashing Alex smiles, great fitted jackets, etc. Still lots of guitars. I don't mind at all, but I'm still holding out hope for some curveballs as the rest of the record takes shape.
