Pea, you know The Specialist, right? It has always boggled my mind how many Interpol fans have never heard that song.

Did you know? The Rush song "YYZ" is based off of the morse code translation of the letter YYZ. Definitely explains the staccato rhythms going on there.

Those all sound about right. Off MM for a sec, but my best driving/music experience was listening to Turn On the Bright Lights while driving over the viaduct into Seattle. Seriously the best thing to listen to for city driving.
Back to MM, I would say that the third planet is something that's great to kick off a road trip with. Also, does anyone think that Neverending Math Equation belongs right before paper thin walls? Try it sometime.

The Venture Brother has officially been picked up for not one, but two more seasons. Rejoice and be glad in it. The contract also includes a long form episode, 60 to 90 minutes, they just aren't sure whether it will be on tv or if it will be straight to video yet. Lets have a hearty "HEAR HEAR!"

Well, I was going to say that Moon is excellent driving music, but then I thought about it for a second, and realized that it all is.

All of their music is awesome for driving, too.

Awwww, you couldn't have known. It seemed like a safe assumption to make, but it seems like sasquatch assumptions have consistently made an ass out of you and me. And everybody.

I guess I'm on an Interpol kick now, so...
I'm interested to see how people rank their albums, Know's was interesting. I don't think I can do points like him, but...
1. Turn On the Bright Lights (obv) 2. Antics 3. The Interpol EP (simply because of the specialist) 4. Our Love To Admire
Not even going to dignify the most recent release. Carlos D was the rug that really tied the band together. Such slick, sleazy basslines.
I only have seen them the once, at Coachella, before Our Love had come out, and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't think I'd ever see them again now that that atrocity is probably most of what they play. God, how good would a 'Turn On the Bright Lights' tour be? I guess I'd see them if they did that.
Did it take anyone else a while to figure out that each of their albums is heavily themed according to album title? I'd probably had antics for a year before I ever really made the connection, and man did I feel like a dumbass.
EDIT: Let it never be said that I am not an ass.

I just realized that if it weren't for the O.C. (don't call it that), I probably wouldn't have heard The Specialist for many years, if ever. Thank you, Josh Murphy.

My personal favorite song is Dramamine, but I'd say check out the album The Moon and Antarctica. I'm sure others will quickly jump on me, but that's my favorite. Paper Thin Walls is a fucking amazing song, and the best ringtone ever.

Oh my god, they're considering Robert Pattinson to play Tetsuo in the upcoming live action Akira. Kill me (or him) now.
