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 [...]
After spending the greater portion of the past year off of everyone's radar, Interpol has returned to announce they will be recording their fourth album at some point this year.Although details are sketchy at best right now, they have posted on their site,Now the band has reconvened, and we are rehearsing new songs.We find ourselves marveling at the tremendous focusthat has defined our early re...
Interpol are giving fans an update on the progress of their new album.In a posting on their site, Interpolnyc.com, the band updated fans about the follow-up to their 2007’s ‘Our Love to Admire‘.Although no release date or album title was announced the band did reveal they are hard at work on the new album.The band wrote:Interpol It’s been a long time. We shouldn’t have left you…After t
They've turned on the bright lights, they've got up to some antics and they have love to admire. Now it's time for album four - as yet untitled - from the New York post-punk revivalists. Writing about the feeling, mood and expectations for the new album the band explained "Now the band has reconvened, and we are rehearsing new songs.
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...
interpol is one of my favorite bands...i got to see them live in Denver's Fillmore auditorium, i like the interesting themes they explore in their song, such as threesome...one of my favorite song "Leif Erickson" explores the idea of falling for an individual while engaged in a threesome... the lyrics are just superb...enjoy!
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...

Been loving this Interpol song off the new album. It's haunting me!I've been going through my storage space here at home in an effort to get rid of alot of the crap I've collected over the years. I'm making some good headway too, thank goddess, but my apt. is a disaster area, heh! So much useless stuff, I'm such a packrat, but I've improved since I'm sick of dealing with all this CRAP!I've foun...
