Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music and Arts Festival added one big international name to the 2009 lineup — Franz Ferdinand — at the same time that presenter One Reel announced the cancellation of another — the Ting Tings. According to a release, the Ting Tings — a rising British rock duo that had a sold-out Seattle show at the Crocodile a few weeks ago — canceled due to a schedule conflict. Along with Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, lineup additions announced today include comic Eugene Mirman, the Brazilian band Os Mutantes, and singers Keller Williams and Janelle Monae.
