Music notes

As Brack notes below, the Interpol album is looking pretty good. "No I in Threesome" is immediately catchy. Sure, the similiarity of this song to some of the nice ones from Bright Lights and Antics makes one wonder if they are merely a nattily dressed Ramones, delivering more of the same each time. If so, sign me up, I love this stuff. If they can serve up something that makes me weep like Leif Erikson, I will be overjoyed.

I am one listen into the new Shellac record, and I have to admit it is a challenge. End of Radio is like a concentrated Mama Gina or the endless song from Terraforming. I feel a bit like I am taking a class when I am listening to the album as a whole. Not a bad thing necessarily, but a bit tough nonetheless.
