arguchikso...i realized something today. a few years ago i heard this band interpol on KEXP and was all wet for them. i couldn't put my finger on exactly why i liked them, i just did. immediately.
well today i figured it out. they totally ripped off joy division. why didn't i notice this sooner?
also, i concur with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glaucon: radiohead's in rainbows is a brilliant album. also good to grade by. IMO these guys are getting better and better with age. they're one of those bands that i want to hate because they're "bigger than jesus," but i can't because they're so interesting, both musically and lyrically. i am OK with being on this bandwagon, i guess.
when this album is done, i'm going to put on interpol's antics to test my joy division rip-off theory.
ETA: yeah...IMO interpol owes a huge debt to joy division's sound--paul banks, interpol's lead singer, is a vocal dead ringer for ian curtis. but i still like them (where "them" = interpol). they bring enough of their own shit to the table to be interesting. they're no radiohead, but i guess i don't always want the music i'm playing to be that absorbing. i get lost in radiohead's lyrics, harmonies, and chord progressions--not quite as lost as i get in really good classical music, of course, but that's like comparing apple strudel to andy warhol.
