I agree!! Have you got the Cure in Orange video? You should see 'Hundred
Years' & 'A Forest' on
that. Started me playing guitar - a BEAST of a gig!

Definitely bring back Porl & Boris.

although Rob Smith and Simon Gallup are as great as ever I think the band
really misses the input of Porl and Boris from the 80s/90s lineup.

there still isnt a band or guitar who can top the old 10 minute + versions
of A Forest.  best guitar playing ever.  see their live 'Show' video for
evidence of that.

going back to Interpol.  I find myself suprised at how good their Obstacle 1
single is even if I'm unconvinced by them at the same time.

On a scale of 10, I would give the new Cure a 7.  Its a good album, far from
my favorite but recommendable. I will say the live versions of the new stuff
played really helped my liking the new album.

You read my mind!

As for Fat Bob, what's the new stuff like? Is it as sh!te as that
Bloodflowers rubbish? I've read some good reviews but people don't seem to
want the intensity as much as I.

I've seen Interpol live 3 times now (opening for other bands such as Clinic
and the Cure) - They fucking suck. Derivative, one dimensional and boring.
I finally got to hear the album about a month ago - I couldnt sit thru the
whole album but I didnt hate it as much as I was expecting.

Btw - Fat bob and co. put on a fantastic show last week when I saw them.

I had written off Interpol as being another NME-friendly band that wears
suits and sounds a decade or two out of date but their 'Obstacle 1' single
is ridiculously good.  Has anyone heard their album and if so how does it
compare to that song and also 'PDA'?  Is it worth getting?

I'm still slightly suspicious of them cos MTV2 plays them, and MTV2 are
clearly run by people with no taste.
