New Interpol!!

[LemonMelon]

Lights sounds like TOTBL, and that's probably the best thing I can say about it. The atmosphere is there, the outro slays, and there aren't any moronic lyrics that stand out (always a flaw in their music), but the song could use a lot of editing and the melody is unmemorable. Basically, it's a good enough song, but a horrendous single.

Also, I too appreciate Antics and would recommend it. The singles are especially strong.

 

[phanan]

I haven't read anywhere that Lights is indeed going to be the single, and I doubt it will be. Kind of similar to what Doves did, when they released Jetstream as a free download, but it wasn't the official first single.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hey U2pM what did you think of Mind Over TIme?

I just bought it off of iTunes, actually. Lolz and stuff. Listening now.

EDIT: You were right, it's good stuff.

And yeah, there's very little chance it's a single.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hmm, interesting song title in light hyper of all the criticism Editors (who also have a song called Lights) receive for their similarities to Interpol. Just a thought that came to mind.

I thought it was a fairly obvious reference to the first album.

It seems like a fairly calculated release to throw one of their longer, sprawling, early-workish type tracks out there in advance of the album after losing a number of fans with Our Love to Admire.

 

[nielsgov]

Listening to it now for the third time. It has a nice build-up but it only starts getting interesting after about three minutes.

 

[xaviMF22]

Im liking this

and antics

Not even Jail

 

[intedomine]

non-TOTBL Interpol songs that would be worth knowing in readiness for the U2 gigs would be Evil, Slow Hands, Heinrich Maneuver and Lights...

Loving this tune, reminds me of some of something like Games For Days off Banksy's solo album.

Adore this band...

 

[Imperor]

Carlos D has left the band. So much for our trick-or-treating date this month.

 

[Jive Turkey]

shitty I think that had been coming for a while though

Narc has long been my favourite.

Why in the hell couldn't this have waited until July?

 

[u2popmofo]

Pretty lame move on his part in my opinion, but whatevs. I'm sort of assuming that he'll fail at making movies for a few years, and decide to join the band again.

 

[corianderstem]

Do you think they'll just find someone new to swap in for the time being? I wonder if that would affect their slots opening for U2.

 

[Imperor]

their slots opening

Keep this smut in the Lance's Mom thread, please.

In the announcement, they already said they have "exciting replacements lined up" or something like that, so nothing should be changed tour wise.

 

[corianderstem]

Keep this smut in the Lance's Mom thread, please.

True. I heard she has great openings in her slot.

"exciting replacements"

I don't know why that's funny, but it is.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I doubt this would affect their U2 opener status. You would think that it would be a bit of a dream job to open for U2, and a great opportunity for exposure - even for a band that is already pretty well established like Interpol. It'd be hard to give that up.

Who doesn't want to tour underneath a giant, glowing crab and eat caviar with the likes of Adam Clayton and Bishop Desmond Tuutu?

 

[corianderstem]

I guess my question should have been more or a general "will they carry on without him," but clearly I was just too lazy to read the announcement for myself.

Make that change, Dalton.

I'm having trouble even accessing INTERPOL. The site seems to be down. How is it for everyone else? I tried to click on the link in email I received from the Interpol official site, but it wouldn't work because the site seems down.

 

[Imperor]

Cool story, bro.

 

[Muldfeld]

Cool story, bro.

I don't understand what the "cool story" is. Is the site working for any of you or not?

[PhilsFan]

The idea of a band playing the Chameleon and the Linc within two weeks of each other is hysterical.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I don't understand what the "cool story" is. Is the site working for any of you or not?

You mad, bro?

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, someone just answer his question.

 

[Muldfeld]

You mad, bro?

I'm not mad. I'm just confused at your answer. I was frustrated at the time that no one could just tell me if the site was working or not, but, luckily Craig and The Cure fan site Chain of Flowers told me it is working in the US. I contacted my internet cable company and they couldn't get the site, either, so it's probably a Toronto-wide problem and maybe even a Canada wide issue. I've contacted Interpol on facebook and myspace, but no response so far.

07-08 Athens, GA - 40 Watt Club

The 40 Watt? Really? That place is so tiny. I'd expect Interpol to be playing a bigger venue than that.
