"The writing was done 6,000 miles apart, which I think was to its benefit"

Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos;

"In a way it's the opposite of what musicians do when they tend to write with other musicians, which is get everyone in a room together and 'jaaaaaaammmmmm.' That's the enemy of all creativity as far as I'm concerned, cause when you 'jaaaaaaammmmmm' you tend to pick a chord or pick three chords and all stay on the same bloody thing again and again and again until you're not just sick of music, you're sick of living.“
