Interpol.Turn On The Bright Lights.2002.NYC.This was a total surprise to me. Maybe the interesting part is that finding Interpol pretty much coincides with my introduction to pitchfork in 2002. I lapped up the fact that Pfork said it was the best record of the year and I had never even heard of it. It was on sale at Best Buy for 5.99. How could I pass that deal up? I bought this cd never having heard a second of it. This was a sound for sore ears. Turn on the Bright Lights came just at the right time for me. Every track is so perfect. The opening track Untitled has got to be one of the best record openers for a long time for me. It is so hard to pick a favorite off of this one so I will just go with the haunting NYC.

interpol was a great find for me as well. i didnt quite get the advantage of picking it up for that cheap though. i was however unimpressed with their live performance i caught on conan, or the tonight show....or was it letterman. damn. i will say that they have improved live.

What? I can't believe you hadn't heard that album. Not only is it my favorite Interpol album, but untitled is hands down my favorite song! I am so happy that you picked it up. Great deal btw.
Marigold says
Pat. That is not a very common deal is it? I could not pass it up. What tour did you see? I did not see them until the Antics tour. I loved the live show I saw.
Sarah. It was hard to pick a song to post from this record.

I've not seem them live in person yet @ = ( . I got turned onto them when I received a free mix cd from a Levi's promo cd I got when I bought a pair & sent in for it. It was all hard rock emo shit BUT the only song on the album that I liked alot was Interpol's "Obstacle 1" which I played over & over numerous times. I had resisted the hype around them for quite some time(like I did w/The Strokes) but once I heard that song I was hooked & "Antics" came out not too long after I discovered Obstacle. So I bought it(special edition w/remix cd) & fell in LOOOOOOVE. I think Antics is my fave but I'm so loving their new one too. Interpol is awesome!

$5,99!? You'd be lucky to get some Interpol for 16,50€ here (that's about what I paid for Depeche Mode's The Singles 86>98, some years ago) sheesh!
but I must say _Turn On The Bright Lights_ is one hell of a delight, good music to my ears indeed, so as _Antics_.

Stop this right now!
Some of us, okay just me, has to work near this guy. With his giggling like a little schoolgirl and hands beneath his desk all day, nothing is getting done.
bloodtea says
Yes, Mike: one. (I was just trying to correct that nasty little "ones")
I don't even want to know what the hell you have there between your legs... (it's too early to wake up my trashy side).
Aww, Keith.. what a wonderful boy. Will you sit and roll-over if I say so?
bloodtea says
Hey, you don't have to tell me what you're doing out there man, I'm not gonna kick your shinny deer arse for that (at least not like little red riding hood does...)
Augusts1 says
In hand, outta hand, what's the diff? You're still playing _WITH_ it(at work no less) & you're over the top(well, that probably depends on ones perspective, whether one is on their knees, other than you, or standing hehe).
I guess I'm to blame for trash talkin' Andrea, since we had a convo on the dark side where I encouraged her to cut loose w/the swearing. She's an impressionable fucker, ain't she? lmfao
Augusts1 says
Mike, there's better areas you could be wrapped around than just her toe! But then again you're married so I shouldn't be tempting you w/our succulent fiend, er uh friend.
(whispering)but you are an impressionable fucker Andrea . . . or would that be fuckee? heh [in normal voice] Ok darlin' I won't EVER call you that again(w/ fingers crossed behind my back), never, ever, ever!
Augusts1 says
Well, that just goes w/o saying Andrea. I know deep down, no matter what you 'say' you always love me, how could you not? And the street goes both ways, so I love ya too honey pie!
Marigold says
I thought toe because her damn foot is always starring me right in the face. For petes sake we need a new avatar Andrea. How about some ass cleavage next time! lol. Hope you wake up to a better day!
You two are so cute. :)
Augusts1 says
(Getting all embarassed & kicking the ground)Awwww sheesh Mike, thanks so much. We are just too cute for words. Maybe we should make up some dam LOLCats slogans for us too while we're at it!
I think the three of us make a cute threesome, uh er I mean, sandwich, oops, yea, make that fiends, oh shit, huh, friends. Ass cleavage indeed, heh! Ok, we are the three Muscatels ahahahahaha, now there ya go!
bloodtea says
You call this waking up to a better day!? MY GOD you two are some serious sick twists, hah (Well, it's been more like a tough week.. or even a month maybe - but things' will get better soon, thanks)
Anyway, *Mike*.. I don't have a gaseous lethal foot odor, my little cutie pie won't kill ya - aww, see is waving at you... ain't it sweet :')
I promise, 2008 will be the butt cleavage era on MOG.
We're cute, aren't we..
*Aug*, honey, when a 3rd person gets involved there's too many feet, and Mike has some issues about that - let's not ruin the moment.. I just ask one at a time, there's plenty of me for everybody LOL
Augusts1 says
Right along w/you dahlink, right along w/you in the sicktwist dept. And, as you know, it's been a tough month for me as well so we can commiserate.
*Mike* has SOME issues? Just SOME? hahahhahahaha If you insist, we'll just keep it one at a time.
bloodtea says
Alrite alrite... he has LOADS of issues.. I was just being nice, sheesh.
Oh the heck with it... the more the merrier! it's Christmas and it's cold.. and you two seem ok, at least your twisted enough to make it fun.
