Interpol C or D?

also i think i could isolate my favorite parts of certain interpol songs to his voice. "enough with this fucking incense" from "mammoth," for instance

branwell, you don't like PB's singing or Carlos' basslines - what's left?

The only interesting thing about Paul Banks' body is wondering if his "silent parts" are as heavily speckled as his face.

I've come around on Carlos. (Surprised sometimes?)

But the best thing about Interpol is still the drums. (And the layer-cake approach to reverb.)

Kessler's body obv.

Mostly I'm anticipating Carlos' book... Should be good fun (if he can lay off trying to impress "Millennials" on Tumblr long enough to actually finish it.)

He's playing bass in another band now so I guess it was Interpol he hated, not bass playing.

(His over-treble-y tone is still annoying, but I suppose being "annoying" is his obscure charm.)

ohh fuck yes

I figured this revive would be about the Banks and Steelz record. It's not very good. (The song with Florence is decent.)

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.
