Franz Ferdinand Frontman Shot By Gavrilo Princip Bassist
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND—Lead singer and guitarist for pop band Franz Ferdinand, Alexander Kapranos, is in critical condition today after being shot by a man identified as the bassist for rock group Gavrilo Princip. "We ask fans to cooperate with Interpol to find the assailant, and call upon British Sea Power, Snow Patrol, and The Postal Service for help," drummer Paul Thompson told music magazine NME Monday. "The suspect had links to The Decemberists and The Libertines, and we are following up on all leads." It is unclear whether the shooting was linked to The Polyphonic Spree's invasion of Belgium earlier this week.

There's a brewery an hour south of Prague that makes Ferdinand beer, it used to be owned by Franz himself, there's a big castle nearby that houses Franz Ferdinand's hunting trophies.
Anyway, they make an extra strong beer by the name of 'sedm kouli' which means 'seven bullets' the number of shots Franzie took on that fateful day in Serbia. Gotta love that Czech sense of humor.
