September 13, 2013 - This week on Conversations from the World Cafe, Franz Ferdinand joins host David Dye. Franz Ferdinand were immediately embraced at home in the UK when they released their debut album almost a decade ago.
They rose to the #3 on the charts for both their second single and the record. A Mercury Prize win followed and then they earned two Brit Awards. With the two albums that followed they continued to draw in fans. Four years in the making, they have just put out a new disc Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. The Glasgow natives reflect on the disc’s quizzical title. And Mark Mulcahy. He led the 80s college rock band Miracle Legion and in the 90s he fronted Polaris, the house band for the kid’s TV show The Adventures of Pete and Pete. It has been 8 years since his last solo album but now he has released Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You. He shares why it took so long to create the new one. That and more this week on Conversations from the World Cafe!
