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...

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...

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...

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...

Interpol announced that they have released a 6-song live recording today that is only available from independent music stores. The tracks were recorded at the band's powerful performance in July at London's Astoria club and they are the first official live recordings of Interpol. Does this mean the iTunes exclusive Live Sessions EP in 2005 was not an offical release?The album is called INTERP...

OH. MY. GODDESS. Mike/Zero posted this incredible orchestral version of "Pioneer To The Falls" over on "*M*":http://roguemog.multiply.com/music/item/12152/Interpol_-_Mammoth_Single_3_songs?replies_read=1 and I just had to post it over here. This is an absolutely stunning version of the song that I've just fallen in love with so much. "Pioneer . . ." is already my favorite song on their new cd "...

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...

For about a month now these two songs have made it onto every playlist I've put together because I can't seem to go a day without listening to them. And, they usually end up - quite accidentally - back to back. A little while ago, when I was really paying attention, this struck me as funny - I don't know why I didn't pick up on it the first time I heard them back to back...but it's like a cal...
