Still love Interpol

I shocked a friend of mine the other day when I told her that Interpol was my favorite band.  I don't write about them all that often I guess, but it's true.  Like Raffi, The Police, Bel Biv Devoe, Simon and Garfunkel, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews and The Strokes before them (with a scattered few in between), they are the first band to come to mind right now when somebody asks me who favorite is.  So there.

Thing is, Interpol's not doing all that much these days.  No new album plans, no big tour.  So while Antics and TOTBL still get plenty of play from me, it's good to keep things fresh.  So here's something...

Interpol vs. Dizzee Rascal - Live Stand Up
Perhaps not the best mashup ever, but it works.

Interpol - Song Seven
Old song I love.  Daniel's vocals sound somewhat Blood Brothers-ish.

Then there are these four random tracks I found on some German fan site:
Interpol - Cubed
Interpol - Mascara
Interpol - Cutthroat
Interpol - Interlude

The first three are unveröffentlicht (obvs).  The last is a bonus track from the Japanese TOTBL.

Finally, here are a couple new bands that are often getting compared to Interpol:

Editors are fantastic.  Their album, which comes out in England in a week or two, has really grown on me.  One of my favorites of the year.  Nora posted a couple of their MP3s earlier this week.   Check em out.

Or if you like your post-goth a little more Durst, check out She Wants Revenge.  Not a huge fan, but they're not too bad.
She Wants Revenge - Sister
She Wants Revenge - Out of Control

despite my addiction to both of interpol's cds, i am not sure if i can consider interpol one of my favorite bands because they are so underwhelming live.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I know. Muse, Arcade Fire and The Fiery Furnaces are all the best live right now, but Interpol just hits too perfectly.

and i was not THAT shocked. you just want to be like me. it's OK. admit it.

There is a presale for the Killers @ Jones Beach - RIGHT NOW on the Killers website.

I don't think Interpol are underwhelming live. How do you define underwhelming? They aren't going to thrash around the stage or clap their hands above their head, or smile all the time; it wouldn't really jive with the music. Musically, they sound great live, I've least in my experience.

As for Editors--my 2 favorite tracks off of their album are "All Sparks" and "Blood". The lead singer's voice is quite reminiscent of Ian Curtis.

If you can afford cable tv, you wholesale Handbags can afford an internet connection of sufficient bandwidth to stream wholesale Jersey video.

I agree with you to a point. Avatar is a ed hardy kids shoes state-of-the-art spectacle that's all about film as an overwhelming, immersive sight-and-sound experience. Then there are ed hardy purses nominees like Up in the Air, Hurt Locker and Precious that present the more familiar film experience of a multimedia ed Hardy Women's showcase of human expressiveness acting, writing, editing, on and on. As remarkable as Avatar's production is. dfsssfdaaadftt
