Interpol C or D?

I was right!!

New York Cares

subway she is a porno and the pavements they are a mess
i know you've supported me for a long time
somehow i'm not impressed

It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights

New York Cares
New York Cares
New York Cares
New York Cares

It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
oh, It's up to me now turn on the bright lights

Right on.

I almost used "move into my assface" as the quote instead of the 100 undergrads, btw.

Album title of the year, if someone could get around to it. It'd be Dave Q's rural concept disc.

(crumbs, I'm saying nice things about Placebo in public...hmmm)

Anyway, I'm loving TOTBL hugely right now - makes me wish I had Today Forever to hand, and this lunchtime I'm *definitely* buying Songs To Learn & Sing cos I realised I don't actually *own* any Bunnymen and it's only 15 bucks.

And J** D*******? Not at all! Really, I don't get it.

Also on a brief note, people have been notoriously stupid when it comes to comparisons. On the subject of The Strokes, how maybe times did I read The Rolling Stones or The Kinks while flipping through various publications? People are absolutely rancid when it comes to these things.

new one's nice

new Editors is better though :(

new National is best

lol Interpol still exists

lol @ yesterday's ny times.

Far left: Bob "Hardcore" Holly, far right: Ornaldo "Orlando" Bloomps

so like when did they replace the singer guy with Jodie Foster

second one's like a young David Eugene Edwards

er... with, like, a different head and face and hair. (ok, I was wrong)

Second from right is ER's Noah Wyle with a beard...

The new album is really growing on me - I saw them at the Rock Werchter festival this weekend, wasn't going to stay for their whole show, but I did in the end, so I guess I liked them.

the new album is sitting on 92 on metacritic after 5 reviews

bloody hell

(they obviously weight Playlouder reviews much higher than OMM, which is a surprise, and Amazon.com, which is not)

"Lighthouse" is such a pathetic example of "atmosphere."

In NYMag, Paul Banks described the late night PATH train as "amateur hour for alcoholics," which is a nice, succinct, accurate description, so I give him some credit.

getting raves - mojo, nme etc. 'best album yet' type talk.

This is the first album on which they're unable even to make their meaninglessness signify on any level.

CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC
I love this band more than life.
Well I exaggerate but I really love their entire sound, every album is more epic than the last, gorgeous lyrics, its atmospheric and moody and I love the darkly romantic sensuality of it all, their music is...

I can only gush. Hate all you want, but its a beautiful thing they've done with music..*sigh*
Oh and since when has Interpol been attractive?
ALWAYS.

^^^AWFULLY worded review there but its accurate

HUH?

the new album is sitting on 92 on metacritic after 5 reviews

They should have stopped at 5 reviews. For Interpol's sake.

Metacritic needs to adjust the scale of their rating system. Seems like every album falls between 60 and 80 points, which means "generally favorable reviews," and anything hip enough to appear on ILM is almost always in that range.

It's been a year since that awful record, no?

Lord Sotosyn, Hater of Ye Olde Interpol Greats. We meet again.

Yes, except Alfred's right. That Interpol disc was between totally unnecessary and downright bad.

First disc was great, tho. Deserves the praise it got.

hip enough to appear on ILM

Can somebody run me a meme-ometer check on this one please?

Interpol's music has been on a steady downward trajectory since the debut EP. apparently so has their cocaine use; here's hoping they get fuckin' loaded for this next album, and put out something great again.

Interpol: Better music via seedier vices.

I am pro-Interpol, feel like hateration is insider baseball bullshit

i just got convinced to go to the Morrissey show next week here in Los Angeles. i can't stand Morrissey because of his hard right politics but doing a favor for a girl and you know sometime in life you need to do that for the better sex. i did love The Smiths and actually was able to see them twice on the Queen Is Dead[ tour and that was amazing. i can't stand him and hope he doesn't go into things at this show.

anyways, the bonus and really the only reason i'm going is because i do get to see Interpol. is Interpol been good live lately? has anyone seen then recently and can tell me i have made a good choice? i have never seen Interpol live before.

This song from a new Banks side project is way more promising than anything on the last album.

Has anyone heard The Other Side of Make-Believe yet?

Out today

They put out a video this week that I didn't love, but I'm still probably gonna give the album at least one listen this weekend.

After one listen, I like it a lot. I think Interpol are perfectly designed for me, because I don't care about lyrics at all and whatsisname sings them in such a just-woke-up-from-an-afternoon-nap-that-was-accidentally-about-20-minutes-too-long way that they're rendered instantly forgettable, but their guitar and drum sounds (production by Flood and Alan Moulder) are really beautiful.

Shocked and really happy that something like “Toni” exists in this day and age

Paul’s voice sounds pretty weak tho

This is surprisingly good, unperson very much otm, it's all about Kessler's guitar and Fogarino's drums.
