Interpol is one of my favourite bands. No getting around that fact. Something surprising for me personally; I usually don’t “get” an Interpol record right away. It sometimes takes a moment to percolate in my head. I am only now, just getting into “Our Love to Admire” and the record came out in what? 2007? I think that is why I love Interpol, they’re a grower, not a show-er.
Interpol was supposed to have a record out in early 2010, but I dunno…. they got sidetracked? But now they do have a brand new song for free download.
Trade an email address for a song: Interpol – “Lights”
The song is great. Reminds me of Turn on the Bright Lights era Interpol. Its 5 minutes +, moody, jangly, epic and sexy.
“The new record falls back towards the first. In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realization that you can’t let go of your sonic-defining tag. There was an effort in Daniel [Kessler]’s guitar tone; he rediscovered it playing in his loft space for a year without anybody. The quality of that tone, played in a big room, is just beautiful. It creates an atmosphere … That big wash of reverb? It’s back.” – Interpol drummer Sam Forgarino on the sonic tag of the upcoming record.

Speaking of slow grows and free downloads… I am already thinking about my next mix and I think it’ll be built around Pallers and their song “The Kiss.”
Download: Pallers – “The Kiss”
Seriously, download this song and then try to ‘splain to me why you don’t immediately want to make out.

I better get ready to go on the radio… but before I do, I am wondering about BBQ Smokers. I kinda want to make one. I found some plans online and I like this one. The Big Baby.
Cassie has volunteered to help construct but we’ll need a place to build it… then i thought, others might want in, so I might make a Facebook group so we can get together, decide the plan of attack, then get building.
Big Baby is a sculpture in basic black, a life-style statement, a conversation piece, a badge of honor, and a joy forever. And on a hot summer day, even when you’re not cooking anything, it still smells like barbecue.
Amazing.
Go with yourself.

cassie is good at building things. i’ll come over and eat smoked meats.
that’s best friend team work at its finest.
also, you could email me that song and i wouldn’t be offended.
Interpol’s away! check your shaw email.
For some reason I thought you guys were going vegetarian and now building a BBQ smoker? Keeping up to your ideas is a full-time job!
Yea, The Kiss. Wowza. Dreamy and makeoutable – check.
yeah vegetaran was Coral’s idea, never mine. so we have settled on Flexitarian. Eat Food. Mostly Plants. Not Too Much.
Its about getting back to the basics and going more DIY (Natalie is already doing this for the most part as she makes so much of her foods from scratch).
anyways, read food rules, such a good book (and takes like an hour to read cover to cover).
