Tour merchandise

Merchandise from the Newcastle show. (Thanks @ChrisMcBriarty)

As Erika points out, those coordinates point to 175 Pearl St. in Brooklyn. Geocache location? Copy of the new album hidden there? Anybody want to go search? :)

Also, until it was sold last year, it was part of the Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower complex. Why are Interpol's new t-shirts listing this location?

22 Songs Only True New Yorkers Will Understand

From Polymic: #6 - 'NYC' by Interpol
"I don't know if the subway "is a porno," as Interpol claims in this song, but I think every New Yorker can relate to hauling home on the subway and feeling a bit lonely after a night out. Plus, nothing can be more maddening than seeing "New York Cares" posters all over the city after you've just had an argument with a taxi driver on why routing through Brooklyn is the quickest way to get to Harlem."

NME Awards Tour kicks off. Meet the bands playing it.

Got your tickets for the NME Awards Tour?

Updates in 2014

I hope to revive this blog for this year's tour and new album release, but I can make no promises. Will do my best as long as time permits, and if that other band doesn't keep me too busy. ;)
