Yes! In the case of Franz Ferdinand, I'd add some Wire and early
Talking Heads in there.

I saw FF at Roseland last week. Live, they are considerably more
energetic and "f*** art, let's rock" than they are in the studio -
less antiseptic, more "put your hands in the air" (they encouraged
the audience to clap along, hands aloft, no less than four times
during the show). I think I actually prefer them on record!

David Bowie was sitting in the balcony, just above where I was
standing, complete with moustache!
