From the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/reviews/story/0,11712,1134445,00.html">Guardian review of the Franz Ferdinand album</a>:
<i>"… 'Michael' appears to be a love song aimed squarely at a man. This really shouldn't seem like a brave move in 2004, but it does. Morrissey and the Magnetic Fields aside, indie doesn't really do gay."</i>
The Guardian, however, does do ill-informed, myopic generalisations like this. I'm still appalled that The Hidden Cameras' album was omitted from many Best Albums Of 2003 lists in the press.
