101 THINGS TO WHICH YOU CAN COMPARE INTERPOL BESIDES JOY

[hoitel]

why isn't kitchens of distinction on that list? or echo & the bunnymen? or the smiths (if only for that "this charming man" rip-off)?
 
 joy division is too easy of a comparison to make. and lazy journalism. interpol has none of the urgency, danger, and innovation that joy division had.
 
 that said, i do think interpol have some very good tunes. i just can't stand looking at their NYU-tainted grills.
   

i also don't really understand the Joy Division reference. The two groups have completely different feels to them. Joy Division was way more dark, creative, amd relevant (i.e. not abstract) lyrically than Interpol. I'd also copy that opinion with Bauhaus and Radiohead (especially more recent Radiohead). Interpol definitely doesn't sound like those two at all. However, i don't know who they do sound like --- maybe the depressed Dire Straits or Sundays references -- hah.

Bullshit. Some of us have had our tickets for a couple weeks now. Once they go on sale to the rest of the world, I suspect they will go fast.
 
 My favorite new song is Public Pervert but, so far, it hasn't been on any of their live shows yet. I suspect that they are saving it for a later tour so they have something to change up the mix a bit.
 
 Getting a boot tonight of a live show of their's from a couple nights ago in the UK. The set list reflects a good mix of old and new. Surprising how many older songs are still in the set and how few newer ones. Of course, they just toured the US with Curiosa so maybe they'll change up their set.

Yup!, I got 4 tickets...$18 service charge, $3.25 for pick-up/will call... a rip-off, absolute rip off...but I know the response I'll get so I'll digress...

 i paid $20 (CDN) and $4(CDN) for service charges.
 .. which means it was like $3US.

I wonder how much Muse tickets will be? At leat I get paid by next Thursday. Jeez. $30 for Interpol! They're great, but that's a lotta dough. God bless the 9:30 Box Office.

gonna be a rough week...muse on monday, interpol on tuesday.  i'll need the rest of the week to recover.  anyone know when muse may go on sale?  i'm guessing tix will be pricey for that one too.

[joz]

i had the same dilemma sonick...chose DCFC and Interpol.
