I think that, because Buff and Scottie aren't doing their shows this evening, I shall be listening to Interpol. A lot.
Paul Banks has an amazing voice. Baritone, so he gets the inevitable comparisons to Ian Curtis of Joy Division. Many people wrongly assume that the similarities between the two bands(deep vocals, sparse guitars, heavy on the bass please barman) is because Joy Division were a direct influence upon Interpol. According to the Wiki page, thats just not true.
I digress, as ever.
Interpol are another of those bands who I could listen to forever and a day. I think only Radiohead could possibly have the same claim to fame. I always thought the Beatles could be on that level, but it turns out I was wrong. It took a good year and a half for that to dawn on me. So now they have been ruined for me, by me. Thumbs up all round, I think.
I promised Vanessa last night that I'd send her all the Radiohead I have, so I think I'll end up crippling my computer. Because that is an awful lot of tunes, my electricity meter will start crying after maybe 20 minutes from the strain.
I should probably stop drinking Guinness too. I've been told I talk more bollocks than normal under the influence of the black stuff. Which is a crying shame because I'm certain that stuff keeps me sane.
Looks like I'll have to return to the fizzy piss domains.

I think Guinness is alright. There's just many other things that I'd drink ahead of it.
And, as much as I love Champagne, I can't afford to drink it at all when I'm paying!
Interpol... I like. I only have Antics but I think it's ace. People tell me I should see them, so I'm hoping they are playing Glastonbury.
