turn on the reverb!

[indecision]

this just in: interpol's left hand doesn't know what its right hand is doing:

"I don't even know what [Sam was] talking about," Banks told BBC 6 Music this week. Instead of turning away from Our Love to Admire's elaborate arrangements, "Carlos [Dengler] has gone to total new levels of crazy sophisticated orchestration", Banks said. "I think he brings that elegant, orchestral quality and he's gone even further with that."

it's so great when the lead singer directly contradicts what the drummer is saying about the new direction the next album is going to take.

orchestral. hah! does this mean that in the great debate on which is the better song, 'PDA' or 'pioneer to the falls', the latter won? dear paul: YOU'RE WRONG.

ETA: although i have to say i only really hated 'who do you think?' and 'wrecking ball' on OLTA.

fifty bucks says they break up before the album is completed.

also OMG i have not worked for four months! okay i only blame myself i've not actually actively looked for a job, preferring instead to sit at home and read incest porn, but still. i feel as if my brain is rotting. ur, perhaps next month i shall find myself a job. yes.

Thank you for posting about this. I was like "Uh, Paul, could we start contradicting each other AFTER the album has been released?"

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

Oh man, SERIOUSLY. I hope Daniel gave him a stern talking to after this. Or, well, sent him a strongly-worded text message, it's not like they seem to talk much these days.

Want to toss any money into the break-up pool? I say after the album but before the tour.

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

No thank you.

URGH.

I have been at home writing my thesis and I feel like my social skills are diminishing. Because instead of in the past when I was out of the house, talking to other people every day, I now only get out about every other day and that is so weird. And I feel like I am slowly turning into a slob. I wear flanel pants more often than I wear jeans.

Was that all too much information? I CAN'T TELL?!!

URGH.

NO NO THAT WAS NOT TMI I TOTALLY GET THAT.

i spend all day on the couch i feel one day my skin will graft to it and then when i die they will have to come and CUT ME OUT in order to remove me from the home.

but at least you're doing something useful! thesis! i...am doing absolutely nothing at all.

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

They will have to cut me out of my chair at my desk. I have mastered the art of procrastination. Even with no distraction at all, I manage to get distracted. IT'S HORRIBLE and I wish I was done already. :(

And believe me, I have spent months during semester breaks when I have done NOTHING at all even though there was enough to do.

Also, enjoy the time off because once you get that new job, couch-days might be sparse. :)

ahahah paul <3 what a cock.

and in such a classy way, too! not just overt contradiction, but general disrespect. <3 he's such a dick, cm, it's brilliant.

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

I really, really hate to say this, but, um, that picture of him is hot. WHAT.

But anyway, let's imagine Sam punched him in the face for this? \o/

-A.

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

i approve of the face punching. it might improve his looks! ahem ahem.

[pneumatique.livejournal.com]

i'd go for paul banks with a broken nose

just saying

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

I personally like the idea of him with blood on his face.

[pneumatique.livejournal.com]

isn't it though? i found that video distrubingly hot.

i don't even really hope he gets punched in the face! i find his general lack of humanity terribly charming. :D i mean, sure, he deserves to get punched, or he would if he were a person, but i sort of think we have established at this point that he is just a gooey ball of unattractive personality traits. pandora's box of dickhead. i'm not sure what's hiding at the bottom. thoughts?

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure what's hiding at the bottom. thoughts?

i'm sure, deep down, he just wants to be loved. by "loved" i mean "butt-fucked by carlos

i won't like, i very often miss him and his douchey face. why did they have to go and take THREE YEARS to come up with a new album. and even then, it's just a maybe!

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

co-journaller was saying though, at least she appreciates the paulos/sand line that they seem to be dividing on. i told her that they should clearly break up like panic.

[pneumatique.livejournal.com]

haha can you imagine paul and carlos as indie rock duo

all i can picture is the unhappiest roadtrip ever

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

all i can picture is the unhappiest roadtrip ever

oh hahaha. how long before the police gets called to settle a brawl? and by "brawl" i mean paul punches carlos in the face and carlos flails at him because his cowboy persona did not come with a set of balls, thank you very much he's a dandy and they do not get into fisticuffs.
