What? How does this = jumping the shark?

FF is already such a caricature of itself, to go and cover its analogous self-caricature of ten years ago is either brilliantly house-of-mirrors meta that I can’t get my head around, or just....gross. Like on cruises when they give you lobster-stuffed clams. Keep it away.

How are Franz more "a caricature of themselves" than tons of other bands?

'a caricature of themselves' seems about as meaningful as the term 'alternative'

Wait, Air were a self cariacature ten years ago? FF is a cariacture of themselves? How are they analogous? It's been a while since I took the SAT.

this "phrase" has totally taken off ever since someone used it in a comment in the seinfeld part of the jump the shark site.

Have you not read "Here are some restaurants you're not rich enough to eat in" column in The Guardian then?

Yay, 274 post "Loose Women discuss indie" style thread!

"Indie- is it a good thing, or a bad thing?"
"Well I think it's a good thing, apart from when it's a bad thing, in which case IT SHOULD BE BANNED"

Loose Women? Where?

Hackles down, fellas. Like Air, FF is topheavy with schtick, to the degree I can't really get with the music. My loss. Like Air, their style (and references) come off too studied, labored. But that's just me. Shark lobster clam etc.

it's disgusting to think of a lumpenindie band covering swooning french gorgeousness!

i was really confused for a minute cuz i didn't remember air ever having done a version of "Sex Boy" in the first place

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 4 November 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

Air covering Franz Ferdinand's cover of the Gun Club's "Sex Beat," as originally performed by Soft Cell wherein "Beat" was mispronounced as "Dwarf."
