teach me to meet my desires...with some grace

I was bored and cold yesterday afternoon,this is typical of my evenings on campus. So I headed to the library, but decided to sit in the lunch room for a while to study. That failed since people were loudly discussing square roots & such, so I walked inside & sat at a computer. I logged onto my hotmail because I had to email a peer some notes. & then I saw it... a message from Interpol's website. I knew what was coming prior to opening it, but once I saw it infront of me, it was real. Interpol (FINALLY!) released a new song!
After carefull review(ie. listening to it over and over again) I have come to the conclusion that:
I like it. At first, I was like it's long and was hesitant to love it. I quickly recalled that Editors, who have been compared to Interpol ironically enough, have a song titled "Lights" on their "The Back Room" album. Don't get me wrong, I adore Editors(though their newest album left me wanting old Editors back, but alas, that seems to the issue with most new albums of bands). But this "Lights," while sounding slightly dark, definately sounds like Interpol. I will say, that I was like many other Interpol fans who were expecting a "Turn on the Bright Lights"~esque sound/feel to the new album. You know, where I felt like a guitar riff would just pop out nowhere during the track, & it didn't. But all in all, I am happy.
I cannot wait for them to release more songs and post dates. I WILL see them play live!

In other news: I got my copy of Catcher in the Rye back.
