    Oh I totally agree, Antics is probably the better album of the three.


    Favourites, hmmm....

    Take You On a Cruise
    (Probably my favourite one.)

    Slow Hands

    Public Pervert

    Stella was a Diver and She was Always Down

    Mammoth

    Also, doesn't Paul Bank's voice remind you a little of Ian Curtis? (Joy Division.)

    I think a lot of Interpol reminds me of Joy Division
    I think it's safe to say that Interpol should prolly pay JoyDIv some royalties..
    hehe not really but yeah I'm sure that with out JoyDiv there wouldn't be any Interpol, Editors, or Stellastarr*.
    I, personally, like them all!

    Less Interpol discussion, more pics!

    After just watching The DaVinci Code, I realized how drawn to Audrey Tautou (Sophie Neveu) I was. Some pics:

    Okay, okay, if we include those kind of crushes, too, I always had a bit of a thing for Jane Lane from Daria. I love that sarcastic, cynical wit of hers:

    mono, she's fabulous, I don't blame you.

    Brian is just as real as any other celebrity. I fall asleep thinking of my cartoon dog. it's the sarcastic witticisms, along with the wisdom, the jazz, the incomplete novel, the soulful island that is Brian, he gets to me. Sigh.

    I love that dog, but if we are allowed cartoons, can I have Garfield too please? He's surely a precursor of Brian, in the sense that the-animal-is- smarter-than-the-human kind of way. He's so laid-back and laconic, with a piercing cynicism if I remember correctly. I think he's lazier than Brian though, it's been some time since I've seen him.

    I thought these barbs from him, as shown on Wiki were very funny.

    Family
    Over the course of the strip, Gafield has shared information on members of his family:

    Uncle Arno — Known for saying, "Life is like a festival; you have to get out there and enjoy it." He was run over by a parade.[15]
    Uncle Barney — Once went to the vet and came back as Garfield's Aunt Bernice.[16]
    Uncle Berle — Described as crazy and thought he was a dog. He always chased himself up trees and was constantly exhausted as a result.[17]
    Uncle Bernie — Coined the phrases, "Never listen for a train by putting your ear on a train track," and "Curiosity killed the cat," in that order.[18]
    Uncle Bob — Used to say, "Slow down, take it easy," before being hit by a bus.[19]
    Uncle Ed — Described as crazy, he liked to sniff waffle irons, and his face was used for tic-tac-toe games.[20] He also always said, "Never belch out loud," and blew out an eyeball one day.[21] However, this may be a different Uncle Ed.
    Aunt Edna — Used to say, "Let a smile be your umbrella," until her dentures were blown clean through the garage door by a bolt of lightning.[22] She also married a hyena.[23]
    Aunt Evelyn — Plucked all her hair from her body to stop shedding. She currently resides in L.A., with a family that thinks she is a chihuahua.[24]
    Uncle Harry — He lived in a gas plant in Gas City, Indiana. He was a famous mouser, eventually chasing a mouse into Tank #2. He is now a paperweight in Bayonne, New Jersey.[25]
    Uncle Hubert — Once caught a 30-pound canary in Chicago, and was last spotted over Dallas, Texas. For this reason, Garfield does not chase birds.[26]
    Uncle Leo — Always had a smile until an incident with denture weevils.[27]
    Uncle Morty — Was killed by his gluttony, after trying to take a papaya from a silverback gorilla.[28]
    Uncle Nick — Loved to destroy things and used to eat chickens whole. There are two conflicting statements to his current status, however. In one strip, it is said that he tried to swallow an ostrich after he mistook it for a chicken, with his last words being, "That's the biggest chicken I ever saw."[29] In another, it is stated that he is presently a postal employee in Chicago.[30]
    Uncle Patrick — Famous for the quote, "I regret that I have but nine lives to give to my country."[31]
    Great Uncle Ralph — The only mention of Great Uncle Ralph claims he was a warthog.[32]
    Aunt Reba — Garfield reacts with her name when Jon revealed that his tennis racket was strung with catgut.[33]
    Uncle Roy — Said to be weird, he underwent a species change operation that transformed him into a dog; He later chased himself to death.[34]
    There are also two unnamed uncles and one great uncle. One uncle went to the vet once and had his brain replaced with that of a chicken. The rest of his life was spent sitting on eggs in grocery stores.[35] Another uncle used to play with yarn, and is now a pattern in an angora sweater.[36] The great uncle was a lion who ate a sick monkey.[37]
    Cousin Sly - A mouser. Appeared in Garfield on the Town.
    Raoul - Garfield's half-brother, a mouser.


    He looks a bit like my daughter's cat, and an old friendly cat of my neighbours, called Dave!
