I have a feeling that this is going to get confusing.Interpol’s spent a lot of time (and a lot of albums) perfecting a persona of sorts that consists of their spiffy black suits, sunglasses, and accompanying dark-shaded indie-rock. It is pretty disorienting to see lead singer Paul Banks dressed like a normal dude. Maybe that [...]

Interpol's Paul Banks has readied a solo album, under an unusual moniker, which will be released on Matador in August.

A blog post on Matador Records' site cryptically reads, "Julian Plenti is… Skyscraper," with a picture of Interpol frontman Paul Banks wearing glasses and a mustache. It turns out that Plenti has been Banks' alter ego for past solo performances and...

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...

Like Editors? Joy Division? The Chameleons? A bit of The Cure?I've never been to Alexandra Palace before, so wasn't sure what to expect of Ally Pally. I'd seen Interpol tour their second Album (Antics) at Bristol Carling Academy supported by Secret Machines... so I knew what to expect of them.When you consider another New York band (The Strokes) had a dire second and third album and, from p...

Dark lights, a picture of wildlife in the background, a ventilator being turned on on the right side of the stage. Moments later, a man from a Tolstoy novel lets the smoke of his cig being carried away by the wind the vent produces.The clear voice of Paul Banks opens the night, starting with the emotional lines "I felt you so much today, I know you try, you fly straight into my heart". Kessler'...

I used to try and collect all my concert tickets (to be honest, I usually got drunk, fell over and lost them) and when I had enough I would stick them in a picture frame;...So when Postman Pat delivered, what could well be one of my last non-eTickets today it brought a smile to my face. OK, it's just a copy of the album sleeve but it looks so much better than an eTicket and adds something to th...

I haven't posted in so long I may have forgotten how to use basic HTML. I miss Mog! Damn studies. =) Here is a picture that sums up my Interpol experience last Thursday at Wamu Theater:Beautiful, no? What I like to think are my stealth picture taking skills must have been very obvious that night. Let's see...One general admission ticket: $41 Arriving at the venue between sets (despite getti...

Yes, six months ago on January 8th, '07 I joined this little Mog community which has changed my life forever. Mog has become my home away from home. To celebrate I thought I'd post one of my fav songs from the new Interpol album(thanks to Dale, release dates ARE for suckas, heh):Loving this whole album *SO* much & I have alot of favs on it. It was difficult to choose just one song. This cd wil...

_Track Theme: Rest My Chemistry by Interpol_"The great epics of our lives are at the points when we gain the courage to rebaptize our badness as the best in us." - Frederich NietzscheNietzsche would have mogged about Paul Banks. I hope so at least. We’d get tired of constant posts about Wagner. And syphilis. He would liked the fact that both men stand accused of being the catalyst for unspeaka...

It's no secret that I fancy Interpol. But I did not find many things to admire in their new album.It's not that it is bad, it's musically fine. It's that it is painfully repetitive. And mind you, I never regarded Antics & Turn On The Bright Lights to be alike. I'm not one of those people that thinks that bands should change their sound with every new album, but I do think that bands should take...

Listening to Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down from Interpol reminds of of living in New Orleans. I was working at Tower Records in the French Quarter when Turn on the Bright Lights first came out. There was a huge goth scene in the French Quarter but they actually called it Darkwave. Darkwave encompassed Goth, New Wave, Industrial, Punk and everything in between.I recall when Interpol...
