Kapranos calls Liam a girl

Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos tells The Sun that Liam Gallagher behaves like an anxious girl and has been abusive towards contemporary bands.

And elsewhere in Oasis news, Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos has called Liam Gallagher a girl. You may remember that Gallagher once compared Oasis-fan Kapranos to Right Said Fred chap Richard Fairbrass. So a backlash is probably fair enough.

According to The Sun Kapranos said: "He knows he can get in the papers by being as obnoxious as he can. When I read the press that surrounded them earlier in 2005, it sounded like an extremely anxious, neurotic young girl at a high school who thought that she had younger, better-looking competition and was just bitching about everything about her."

He continued: "I think everybody, the Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, every contemporary band was at the end of some form of vitriol from him. I'm not particularly bothered by him. It just seems like bitchery from cheap neuroses."

Blimey. That was a bit insightful.
