message: The story is badly told. "Funny accent"? "Enter Paul"?? Paul Banks spent his childhood in Spain, where his name is spelled "Pol". Hence his childhood nickname "Interpol". He apparently liked it enough to name his band after it. Could someone change the page? I'm not registed. 217.129.53.70 18:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I just found this Interpol tribute album called "Interstellar" which is all done in strings. Should we create an article for this? I think that I'll put the Amazon link here unless that's poor form: http://www.amazon.com/Interstellar-String-Quartet-Tribute-Interpol/dp/B000QFAF22/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1195620809&sr=8-1  —Preceding unsigned comment added by The waxwing slain (talk • contribs) 04:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Interstellar - need an article

message: there name comes from one of pauls friends that he met in spain that called him "pol pol" also it is believed that because of the bands efficientcy it is like Interpol the international police
I agree with Kafuffle that Wikilyrics is probably the best place for Interpol lyrics these days, as it has all of the lyrics to both Turn On The Bright Lights and Antics. Other sites such as song365 (sing365?) are all full of ads and take forever to load (even though this shouldn't bother me, as I have firefox+adblock with a good ruleset). The VfD that someone mentioned on my talk page was for the wikilyrics article, so it doesn't constitute a ban on external links to wikilyrics.
(Note that I'm in no way associated with Wikilyrics; I only found out about it by looking at this article's history through my watchlist.) -- claviola (talk to me) 14:44, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. I didn't mean to imply wikilyrics links were banned, just that they were generally crap (this being the exception). Mind you, I'm still not convinced we should be linking to lyrics sites at all (per Wikipedia is not a web directory and Wikipedia:External links), but there appears to be a majority for keeping the link here… --W(t) 16:00, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)

message: What sources state that the band's next album will be entitled "Moderation"? I think there should be a source to back that up, it sounds like hearsay to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.34.185.246 (talk) 05:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Erm, French Letter is an euphemism for a condom. I wonder if they meant exactly this.
     As two members of the band can speak French, i would imagine that they were fully aware of the double entendre in their proposed name - let's face it, it's not like interpol's lyrics are strangers to a bit of inuendo!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.228.166 (talk) 16:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone knows who is the keyboardist in the band? Organ is often heard in some songs. I was thinking it could be interesting to note more precisely in the article each one's role in the band: we in the talk page may all be fans, but the occasional visitor is not.

message: Interpol's upcoming Coachella performance is in the Career section, but I added (with reference, which was not deleted) that they'll be playing Sasquatch! and I believe there was also mention of a European festival, and both were removed.

message: I've rewritten a great deal of the page. I need to put citations in but I think this is a massive improvement on the somewhat messy page that was here before. Thoughts? Perhaps worth putting the years each section in the career covers next to the release of that period? For example Our Love To Admire (2006-present) Spikeh
I like the rewrite. You may also want to add that Obstacle 1 was used in Girl Skateboards "Yeah Right!" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeah_Right%21) video on Brian Andersons part.154.5.63.66 (talk) 08:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewrite

message: I think the TV Shows references (Friends, Grey's Anatomy, Smallville) should be dropped.Interpol is enough of a decent band so not to mention that some song featured in some episode of a show.It's somewhat demeaning. Igorian (talk) 09:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV Shows references 

message: This page, especially in the "Career" section, seems heavily biased and does not use any references. Ex: " widespread critical acclaim in the indie music scene," "widely considered one of the best albums of that year," "the record sold exceptionally well for an independent release."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jicannon (talk • contribs) 13:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality

message: Shouldn't the end of the article include the two recent interviews Sam Fogarino did in Ireland where he states that in the fall, Interpol will begin working on their fourth album? It just seems relevant to include the two printed occurences of the band's drummer stating they are ready to work on the next album in the near future. He goes pretty in depth about the problems with the last album and what they plan to do with the next one.67.160.65.111 (talk) 23:50, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Paul Banks Death Rumours

message: If anyone added Interpol on Facebook, you would've received an update today about them working on new songs/4th album.
"It's been a long time. We shouldn't have left you...
After the touring for OLTA came to an end, we all dispersed to tend to our individual personal lives.
...And to get our ducks in a row.''
Now the band has reconvened, and we are rehearsing new songs.
We find ourselves marveling at the tremendous focus
that has defined our early rehearsals for this, our 4th effort.''
All kidding aside, we feel like a new band.
Once again, we have no concept to this batch of song-writing.
(We are often asked about our intentions when we set out to write music.)
There is rarely any intention to this process.
We just make the music.''
And without going into too much detail, the songs sound vital.
It's as though we've hit upon a balance between our urgency and
our calm. And true to our better work, this is music that unravels over time.''
''
We anticipate that, once it's done, you high-minded folks will welcome the music...
into your bedrooms...to swagger and breathe...''
It's still early, yet, though. We will keep you posted.
''
In the meantime, a couple of us have kept ourselves busy with extra-curricular activities. Carlos has made a film called <http://www.myfriendstoldmeaboutyou.com/>My Friends Told Me About You and Sam has released a record with his band <http://www.magneticmorning.com/>Magnetic Morning.''
''
And we hope that you're all weathering well the turmoil of the age.
''
Lovingly,
Interpol"''
