2. If you've read anything I've said about the NME, you'd know that I think that the NME occasionally hypes good bands, but that for the most part they hype boring, derivative, flash-in-the-pan shit. Interpol are band that are universally liked, no one but the British Press likes 90% of the bands they hype.

well, i could have used your help a few months ago in the interpol thread, personally, aside from the dark tone of the music, i never found interpol to be all that similar to joy division, but stu disagrees with me on that one...and yes, i have to agree that i'm getting a bit annoyed by the nme, especially after seeing that "the esential bands of 2005" cd.....i mean honestly, they do try a bit too hard to force their opinion on what's hot and what's not....
