i saw interpol once at the bowery ballroom back in the day, before all the hooplah surrounding their album. they were alright, the bassist (crispin glover, to some) dropped his bass and it fell off the stage into my hands, and the guy actually fought his way through the crowd after the show to come back up front and thank me personally.

i think i made a density/destiny joke.

Speaking of TV and Slovenly, I once saw Slovenly's great Tom Watson do a blazing "Venus de Milo" while playing with Mike Watt. The dude is mind-blowingly mind-blowing. Overpass, Tom's post-Slovenly band stuff with Mayo Thompson, is pretty interesting too. I think I'll go slap it on right now, come to think of it.

I don't really hear any Slovenly vibe/riffage/homage in Interpol, though.

Oh, and Not Crap. Heavy Waffle Factor, though. Like 7 or so.

its funny, i worked for matador records briefly and as such had much an interpol catering to suffer through. Not bad guys, not good guys, but jesus, the sounds they make... I believe in one thread someone mentioned that a major component to good art is making the observer believe they are not being decieved. Interpol is just an abbreviation for pulling the wool over your eyes. I let the sound speak for itself.

ceeeeeeeeeeeerap.

the one interpol copycat moment that really blew me away was the marquee moon ripoff in "narc" (on Antics)

go to 2:45 in the song and press play. my god. guitar tone... check. playing style... check.

but i'm not into their music anyway, so the issue of interpol being copycats doesn't really faze me.
