[kj] OT: Editors/Interpol

[ade]

Heaven up Here - pure fukkin genius. Over the wall.. You've made me better
now!!!

One thing I will say - I'll check out that Editors album because the music
does sound very
good.

Yet another thing I'll say is that none of these bands are scary. That last
track on Unknown
Pleasures is scary (to the typical ear). Post-punk bands revelled in being
'unlistenable'
to the average music fan. Whereas a lot of this re-run cack is simply
foot-tappable, unit-
shiftin' stuff...

I think the best time to hear post-punk influence was the whole post-rock
thing. Obvious stuff
like Mogwai. At The Drive-in always had a lot in there I thought. Radiohead
sounding like the
Cure. Jeff Buckley.. the list of music influenced by, but not ripping off,
post-punk is BIG. I never
thought that would be the case & post-punk would be buried, but have heard
more & more
influence trick,ling through year by year. Thank fukk :)

I hope they're not 'gash' (?) for you as well....I regret bringing the
bleedin Editors to this list, I was just listening to them while eating my
superb chilli (email me off list for recipe) and Argentine Merlot on
Saturday night coz there was shit all on the telly - now I feel responsible
for Ade and Chris having a coronary, Alex ringing his libel lawyer and you
making threats :), (I'm happy to do you a copy).......I'm bloody desperate
to hear some new music and at 46 don't mind if a teenage clone of Ian Curtis
appears on the charts - it beats 99% of anything there at the in the last 10
years - besides he's more McCulloch than Curtis and it's closer (!!) to
Heaven Up Here than errr Closer.........

I was also into Can's Tago Mago on the weekend - awesome, I promise you.....
