Franz Ferdinand will be playing the main stage today at T In The Park. Here, the boys from Glasgow cover a song by one of their Sound Of Young Scotland heroes: Fire Engines.
Hear it for yourself. "Get Up And Use Me (live)" by Franz Ferdinand.
"Say, Puritan, can it be wrong/To dress plain Truth in witty song: What honest Nature says we should do/
What every Lady does, or would do?" -- Robert Burns

We're making sure that body never dies. Read, listen, be happy. Be tartan.
