This is true.

there's your first problem. buy (or d/l...whatever) their album "different damage" ...its probably their easist cd to get into for me. once you listen to that, listen to some of their other recordings and see how they grew over time and completely changed their sound 2 or 3 different times.

so what do you wear? i am sure we could critique whatever you're wearing and probably be "unimpressed" with it.
--- Quote from: myfriendthelily ---i'll admit they were interesting, but fuck, trainwrecks are interesting. that's what they sounded like to me. they tried to pass themselves off as intelligent, different, and fresh, but just because you dance around on stage like an idiot, play dissonant chords with techno beats, whisper-sing, and wear stupid lime green t-shirts, it doesn't make you good or cool or intelligent at all.

what i really want to know out of all of this is how you know what they are "trying to pass themselves off as" ...did they come on stage and say that? did you talk to them or their friends? i would venture out on a limb and say that a band that has the qualities you just listed aren't seen every day or at every show. if anything it sets them apart.
so when interpol gets up on stage in their matching suits and jostle around while playing, that makes them cool and intellegent? at least q and not u didn't need a gimmic to attract attention. i own and have listened to a lot 'turn on the bright lights' and 'antics' ...i put it on when i am going to go to bed.
seriously.
it makes me sad to see q and not u go bye bye... add that to the list of bands (dismemberment plan, 764 hero,...) i havent gotten to see because of living in tennessee. oh well. maybe their new projects will be good.
sp2:
The Black Keys are playing somme shows right about now in Tennessee. Go see them. Now. Before it is too late.
And seriously, yeah, saying "Q and not U are kinda too gimmicky for me and by the way Interpol are totally cool" is pretty lame. Way too many people act like Interpol are the second coming of Christ. This is really not the case.
thermodynamics:
i'll probably see them in knoxville on sept. 1st. that still is about a month and a half away, isn't it? thanks for the heads up!
