    Dale says Who doesn't like them some Carlos D? He's a fantastic bass player. What, the haircut? He had that look way before it became 'emo'.

  3. Takeshi Kovacs
    Takeshi Kovacs says Yes, based on haircut alone - this was my girlfriends haircut in the eighties, and it's unsettling to think it's making a comeback, on men. Really, I'm not that superficial. Don't know who this is, or what his tie to the music community is.

    etcvisitor says ummmm, that still doesnt excuse it. as my barber friend would say, a bad haircut is a bad haircut.

    Dale says Tak, Carlos D is the bassist for Interpol.

    RainaRain says I don't really understand the hair, but I don't really care what he looks like either. The music is still good!!

    Dale says Anna, I'd guess it's from those who judge based on the haircut, because he does kinda look like the emo poster boy. Those who know, though, give the man his due.

    Anna says RainaRain, the music is just soul shaking. Henry, Iggy Pop once said that an ass is always an ass; that's irrelevant, but it popped into mind & I wanted to share.

    1234chainsaw says Props for wearing a lot of black. Can't go wrong there. But combine the picture with the fact that he was a NYU philosophy student, and you can't help thinking that he was big into existentialism and phenomenology. I can't stand that stuff. (My apologies if I'm wrong and he turns out to be into analytic philosophy.) That hairdo is totally Spandau Ballet.

    etcvisitor says i loved the first interpol album, i really loved the bass lines especially. then i realized i could only handle 7 songs at a time... and on top of that i realized that it didnt matter which 7 songs i listened to. this fact began to disturb me. then they came out with antics... i started hearing songs on college radio... it sounded like songs from the first album, but every time i went to sing along, they had changed the words on me or moved them. i was very confused... then i realized that those guys had about 15 good songs in them. if you pick any 15 interpol songs and make it into two 7 song EPs and one single with the remaining track as the rare B-side... at that point interpol would become a relevent band. the problem is, it sometimes feels like they overstepped that with the first album.

  17. Takeshi Kovacs
    Takeshi Kovacs says Thanks Dale, have to give them a listen. The whole emo look was cultivated in the eighties, and to me, is a revival of sorts. It all seems so cyclical and extraneous to me, with music being the number one factor. I don't care if you have a monkey fetish and a trepanning scar over your left eye, if you rock, you rock, what you do on your own time, and who dresses you in the morning, is between you and your marketer. IMHO

    Anna says Agreed, Tak. Like I said above, I'm sensing a personality related dislike.. Tink, fo sho ;) Chuckle @ Britt :D Henry, I liked Antics more. Do you mean that they are repeating their material?

  20. etcvisitor
    etcvisitor says it really felt like they were repeating material. i often found myself singing the lyrics of interpol songs over other interpol songs. very unnerving.

    Neill says Hey! I used to like The Human League as well! The is nothing wrong with that haircut. (Although I would get stabbed if I walked down my street with it....)

  22. 1234chainsaw
    1234chainsaw says I found Antics repetitive as well. I really enjoy some of the harder-driving songs from both albums (I like Editors for similar reasons), but I think that their musically best contribution so far are the slower, more atmospheric songs like "Stella" at the end of the first record.
    Permalink posted 12/12/2006
  23. Anna
    Anna says Henry, I'll be honest. I like 'em so much that I wouldn't be able to tell repetition, even if it was in the form of "rosemary, you slow hands, the trouble is that you're in love with someone else". When I love, I love blindly (whoah!). Neill, I think we can both pull off that haircut. Make it our new year's resolution?! Yay! Someone is not giving me the dirt...

    Joxley says He seems cool to me, especially as there is something of the night about him. In that photo he makes me think of a certain 19th century London criminal, but I think it would be in bad taste to elaborate on this "in light of recent events":http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6276064,00.html

    sugarbaby says He is a bit skinny for my tastes, I like to be able to look a man in BOTH eyes, and kissing might be an issue (pthfew... talk about a hairy tongue), but looks aside, I think Interpol is pretty good.

  27. 1234chainsaw
    1234chainsaw says By the way, I'm theorizing largely from the arm chair. I don't know enough about his personality to have any personal like or dislike. If I recall correctly from the deeper-than-usual Interpol interview in The Big Takeover a few issues back, he seemed like a smart and affable sort of fellow.

    Anna says Hola, RGM :D Blair, that's just plain heresy. Go see El Monko for your spanking. Jox, "something of the night about him" => melikey. Linda, I'm drawn to his gaze like a moth to a flame ;) But seriously, I've been getting the feeling that some people think he's full of himself. I might be wrong.

  30. that1guy
    that1guy says I'm not a big fan of interpol. I don't like his voice and I've actually ever seen a picture of him before, but now that I have, I'm not sure so its helped the case. He looks like one of the members of Panic! and we all know how I feel about those guys. Black eye makeup and a reverse comb-over are terrible choices in style for guys and girls. It just fits into a category and that category is one that bothers me more than anything else. I call said category "sub-pop culture" and it's basically a contradiction to itself because it's anti-pop culture but because it's a culture it's hypocritical which makes it worse than pop culture. y'heard?

  40. mullytron
    mullytron says Not unlike many pop musicians, he *looks* as though he places more weight on what he looks like than on what he plays. His look communicates (to me) that A) his hair and his clothes are so cool that you will not be able to resist, but on the other hand, B) it doesn't matter WHAT he does with his hair or his clothes, he is so interesting and mysterious that you will not be able to resist... That's the quick read, based only on the photo you posted. I listened to the first 2 Interpol records. I get it. I understand where they are coming from. I like reverb too. I do have to agree that they sound like they have a formula all worked to crank out their type of songs, but so what? What pop band doesn't? ("welcome my son, to the machine..."). That's no reason to hate on them, good for them, where's your major label CD? As far as I am concerned, a well-placed Interpol song has a place on a long drive mix CD, but I don't think I could take repeated album listenings more than a couple times a year, personally. It is ill-advised and unfortunate know-nothingism of the highest order to take entrenched positions about what famous people do or don't do, say, or wear. LISTEN WITHOUT PREDJUDICE.

Carlos isn't an asshole, he just isn't outgoing. Sam, the drummer, is kick ass! He is easy to talk to and loves him some Kettle One.
