Interpol’s ’Toni’

What is your favorite song on The Other Side of Make-Believe?

Mine’s Toni. Not just because it’s catchy and ”soaring”, kind of flowing and elevating, it has this feeling of the endless road and freedom. It has this mode of melancholy, yet it is caught in the moment of feeling of recollection, decisiveness, abandon in the moment, denial of what is going on in the world, pretending that this is it, everything is ok, now, at this moment. Yet, something is lurking! That is a constant feeling for me in this world and also that relief which temporary abandon brings.

Daniel playing the piano, but in the same way he plays guitar, it makes the song more airier and gentle. Yet the song is very full sounding, as usual, intense, as usual. The part of the song starting around 2:55 is extremely satisfying! It is such a fasinating build up, alternating in giving prominence to each instrument, and then the fullness when the vocals start. Then it flows to the end and stops with the drum. It is partly building up -type song but it has partly poppy structure. It may sound simple but it is actually complex. It begins with a relatively long intro. Then it tricks you with ABAB type verse/chorus but then comes the long outro with all that magnificent building ”up and down”, sound fullness and alternation with the prominence of instruments, hypnotizing piano riff and the crispy guitar rhythm, and the repeating of ”who are you to doubt this?” & ”above the ocean”, the drums keeping us going and going, the bass uniquely following the vocal rhythm and so much more… such an amazing song. Coming at you, through you, with you. If you want, endlessly.

My favorite parts from the lyrics. So very evocative of feelings and images, interior processes and personal and apersonal relationships:

”Flame down Pacific highway”

”(yes)”

”[Go home] through perception's hallways”

”When the change comes we'll live in green skies”

”Who are you to doubt this?”

”Let me tell you 'bout the wayward starlet, face adorned with bones”

”Let me tell you 'bout the wayward starlet, face adorned with skulls”

”Looked me up and down, said, "Babe we're soaring, but you don't notice"

”Lift you up and down, the whale is soaring, but you don't notice”

”Above the ocean”

#big fan of the darkwave turn to their music big fan of noah's growth as a producer #ugh. i know why i'm listening to this filler album #it's because of how they're sampling themselves and interpolating their own work into new material #while making it sound fresh #also w the new bad omens tracks you can just tell that noah used to stream on twitch #this is gamer music #Spotify

Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol (9/10)

BEST SONG: "Obstacle 1" WORST SONG: "NYC"

Some of the most romantic post-punk music I've ever felt grace my ears. There's something I find endlessly appealing about Paul Banks' voice and the overall vibe of Interpol's music. While the album is admittedly a little static, carrying essentially the same feel throughout with little deviation, it's a really nice feel that I find myself listening to again and again.

fucking insane how the good the bad and the ugly is one of the most influential pieces of modern media but whenever i try to talk to about it with people my age they act like it's some weird obscure movie that only i have heard of

#it HEAVILY influenced a lot of recent star wars media. lana del rey sampled part of the sountrack on her most recent album #the close-up shots of the trio staring each other down in the final standoff has been mimicked a thousand times #the soundtrack alone is used EVERYWHERE #the ectasy of gold came up on one of my friends playlists and i was like 'oh cool you've seen the good the bad and the ugly?'#and they were like '...no. this is from *random show/movie*' and i responded 'well its originally from the good the and the ugly'#and they looked at me like *i* was the crazy one who didnt understand pop culture #they'd never even heard of gbu before #okay i just googled the lana del rey one. it isnt her most recent album and its interpolated not sampled but whatever

Will you be commenting on the Taylor drama?

I love the way this was worded, like I'm one of the siblings on Succession and the press has cornered me outside my penthouse to ask if I'll be releasing a statement on my family's latest scandal. Hehehe anyways.

Sorry but I just don't understand how anyone is shocked. Truly what has that woman ever done to successfully convince people that this is out of character for her. Like I don't want to diminish anyone's pain or anything but I see all these stans on here and over on Twitter in all this distress, having their very first epiphanies like "Hold on . . . does Taylor . . . suck??" And I kinda just have to chuckle at them cause like bless your hearts babes, but omg catch UP 😭

Lol because 1) she is a severely emotionally stunted person who thinks edgy British "bad boys" are hot like she's 12 years old, 2) she has no true deeply-held moral principles outside of issues that directly affect herself, and 3) truthfully, she seems to be suffering from a serious crisis of identity after the end of the longest and most significant romantic relationship of her life, and in my opinion is pretty clearly desperate to prove something to the world/her ex/herself.

The first reason is cringe but not news to longtime viewers, the second reason is pathetic but also not news (to those who can be honest with themselves), and the third is . . . understandable in some sense, but not pitiable enough to make me willing to humor this insufferable little episode she's having. I wish her luck on this humiliating rebound journey, but she is gonna have to walk that road on her own.

Normally, I always roll my eyes when people make these kinds of jokes, but given the circumstances I feel justified in saying: I can't wait to hear the breakup song about him, sis 🤡

#the great thing about disliking your own fave is that they simply do not have the power to disappoint you lol #like her stans (at least those who arent complete sycophants—which sadly is not most) are breaking down over Babys 1st Cognitive Dissonance #meanwhile im just over here chilling lol #ive also just NEVER been particularly invested in her personal life anyways so im gucci on that front too #i didnt even realize specific songs were about specific celebrity exes until *several* years into listening to her music #thats how unplugged i am lol #she is unusually extremely visible in the collective conscious right now cause of the tour and this insufferable PR blitz #but the absolute best thing for me is when she disappears and i dont have to perceive her -- the actual person -- outside of her music #and then it can just be me and my lifelong companion the fictional character “taylor swift” (c)(r)(tm)#so personally the only real threat this hangs over my head is the thought she might put him on an album #like that does strike real terror in my heart im ngl #ESPECIALLY any of the rerecords oh my god #and given the way hes been tailing her in and out of that damn studio . . . its not looking good for me kids 🥴#i cant believe she would be that dumb after making the same mistake with joe on folklore #cause even tho now she has to suffer the indignity of sharing a grammy with her ex (LMAO)#at least we can understand that at the time she thought they were in it for life #but if she pulls that shit again with a REBOUND??? just to like stick it to joe or further delude herself or whatever?#idk im gonna need interpol or somebody to step in and do something drastic like this is a cry for help #did you guys see that euphoria meme someone made about her deranged “ive never been happier!!!!” speech the other day?#it was SO funny ill go find it

I leave for bonnaroo in 5 hours and my suitcase is still sitting half empty on the floor and I dont have the energy to fill it

#welp #BUT #interpol just stated they’re playing the antics album in full at their set #so I guess I can blast that and it’ll give me the burst of energy I need to shower and finish #I’m so excited but I’m already so tired #t
