The Shooting Of Franz-Ferdinand

The shooting of Franz-Ferdinand was definitely a cause of World War 1, however it wasn't the main reason but definitely caused conflict and tension between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. Franz-Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip (blackhand) because Austria-Hungary were trying to gain control over Serbia, so they retaliated by killing the Archduke Franz-Ferdinand. This overall was a minor cause to WW1 because Serbia shot Austria-Hungary's archduke, causing the alliances to kick in, forming sides ready for war.

TAG. YOU'RE IT. The rules are to state 5 random facts about yourself. Then, go to ten favourite blogs and tell them they are it. :)

I wear 5 and 1/2 size shoe.

My nose is incredibly sensitive. That fact effects my daily life a lot.

I believe, If I'm hidden under blanket properly, I'm invisible.

I love talking about relationships and human interaction.

I love poetry. For example Yesenin is very close to my soul.

thank you so much! :’D

No problem! Maybe some other old stuff will surface on other old computers and drives of mine... here's hoping anyway...

Thank you! :-)

Since two of us run this, we decided to split this up. Hope that's okay! (Plus, at least one of us has a really hard time with this stuff, lol.)

Jamie (jaaamie):

1. My first real concert was Franz Ferdinand at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. 

2. I've never dyed my hair.

3. My most cherished hobby is black and white film photography.

4. I lived in Rome for a while.

5. This isn't a fact but Shannon is wonderful and does amazing with this tumblr and you all should follow her and love her as much as I do :*

Shannon (tumblingelanor):

1. I once almost tried to pay for movie tickets with my Franz fanclub card.

2. My first concert was Ringo Starr & the All-Star Band.

3. I hate Romeo & Juliet because I've had to study it so much.

4. I have a lot of fandom collections, like Disney, the Beatles, Franz, Lucille Ball, and my box of Spice Girls stuff.

5. I hope to one day have a Newfoundland dog. I think they're really adorable.

Oh my, I've been tagged twice (thanks lukeykinzferdinfan too!) so I'll try to do this as well as I can. Because I want to remain anonymous and I'd rather this blog be about Franz and not myself, it probably won't be very interesting, sorry!

I live in London in the United Kingdom.

I first saw Franz Ferdinand live in 2004.

I've seen them live a total of 8 times so far.

... In four different countries!

I own two Franz t-shirts and a snap bracelet, but I almost never wear them. Relics of a bygone age... (and I'm too old to get away with it)

I'm friends with jeremyfraser and she's sort of why I decided to do this blog.

I've met the band several times and they're all really nice guys. 

I don't have a favourite member.

I was part of the infamous slacken_ties era... but I never had an interest in the slash fiction side of it, just the insane sense of humour. I'm glad those days are gone but they're still funny to reminisce about.

Uh... what else... I own the deleted CD versions of Michael with the extra tracks. There, that'll do. :P

Posting these for the Anon who asked Franz-Ferdinand for some Blisters tracks. Only one of them is actually labeled as the Blisters though, but as far as I know they're labeled correctly.

Alex Kapranos - The Only Difference

The Blisters - Post Feminist Business Woman

The Karelia - New Year in New York

The Karelia - Christian Chorus

The Karelia - Patrick Meets the Courgettes

And even though the Anon didn't ask for these, I'm posting them anyway:

The Karelia - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want

The Karelia - Vision in a World Without Spectacles

There is another Karelia song called "Summer in Spain," I'd post it as well, but the only version I have is too slow and messed up. The person who initially put it on the internet (along with "Vision" and "NYINY") had a broken record player, so the initial rips were way too slow. Eventually the songs were posted at their proper speeds, but I still have yet to relocate the proper version of "Summer in Spain."

If anything is wonky or broken, let me know.
