[kj] O/T Interpol

ade, what did you think of the 'Show' video?  

the version of A Forest on there is absolutely stunning no?

didnt bother with Trilogy, purely cos of cash (lack of).  would dig the first disk for deffo.  Disintegration is great but i can only listen to it every once in a while.  Bloodflowers live... yawn...

Nice one Mark! 

Yeah, I got that Trilogy thing - for my tastes, the first disc is 
genius, the second a 'good reading' of a classic & the third 
unlistenable... ;) 

Is that Orange VCD stereo?

I saw _In Orange_ back when it came out, and got an Asian VCD of it a 
while ago. Pretty sure there was a laserdisc, but I never did 
laserdiscs. That VCD, and the Trilogy DVD have been sitting on my 
shelf. I'll be glad I have them once I'm in a proper Cure mood again. 
These things go in cycles and everything gets its fair rotation. It 
would be great if they put out _In Orange_ and _Show_ on DVD. They're 
nothing flashy, but it's worth watching the band play (in addition to 
listening). 

_NWOBFG_ ought to have been a CD/DVD set, don't you think? Ah, don't 
get me started on the lack of KJ video! (Official ones.)

dude, I love the Cure In Orange.  I made my dad buy me it as soon as 
it came out (i was still at school back then) and it's one of the few 
VHS tapes I've kept hold of.  definately an awesome gig... in fact I 
might just go and watch it again now. 

best version of Play For Today ever as well.

I agree!! Have you got the Cure in Orange video? You should see 
'Hundred Years' & 'A Forest' on 
that. Started me playing guitar - a BEAST of a gig! 

Definitely bring back Porl & Boris.

although Rob Smith and Simon Gallup are as great as ever I think the 
band really misses the input of Porl and Boris from the 80s/90s 
lineup. 

there still isnt a band or guitar who can top the old 10 minute + 
versions of A Forest.  best guitar playing ever.  see their live 
'Show' video for evidence of that. 

going back to Interpol.  I find myself suprised at how good their 
Obstacle 1 single is even if I'm unconvinced by them at the same time.

On a scale of 10, I would give the new Cure a 7.  Its a good album, 
far from my favorite but recommendable. I will say the live versions 
of the new stuff played really helped my liking the new album.

You read my mind! 

As for Fat Bob, what's the new stuff like? Is it as sh!te as that 
Bloodflowers rubbish? I've read some good reviews but people don't 
seem to want the intensity as much as I. 

ade.

I've seen Interpol live 3 times now (opening for other bands such as 
Clinic and the Cure) - They fucking suck. Derivative, one dimensional 
and boring.  I finally got to hear the album about a month ago - I 
couldnt sit thru the whole album but I didnt hate it as much as I was 
expecting. 

Btw - Fat bob and co. put on a fantastic show last week when I saw them.

I had written off Interpol as being another NME-friendly band that 
wears suits and sounds a decade or two out of date but their 'Obstacle 
1' single is ridiculously good.  Has anyone heard their album and if 
so how does it compare to that song and also 'PDA'?  Is it worth 
getting? 

I'm still slightly suspicious of them cos MTV2 plays them, and MTV2 
are clearly run by people with no taste.
