Made up??? REALLY??! (Imagine this to be said with great sarcasm, if you please.)
He could have called himself anything, and he chose ‘Julian Plenti’?
I suppose I should be grateful he didn’t spell Julian with an e.
It makes him sound like a complete and utter wanker.

The fail comment was actually related to an intervening ‘this is a test’ comment, which has subsequently been deleted.

What I was actually hinting at was that if you are not that into the music, then stuff like complex this and unusual that might well help you see merit it something you’re not that keen on.

If you like something, then the ‘same thing layered a lot of times’ comment you made can often be a positive. If you look at your record collection there will be plenty of things simpler and less sophisticated than that which you happen to love. That’s all I meant with that comment.

Neither of these songs are shit!

So if I don’t explain why a song is shit, I get told off, but if I do explain why a song is shit, I get told off.

You do realise that neither of these events actually stop the song in question being shit, right?

And Dylan has failed.

Or in your case simply being obvious will generally do.

No, but it has to be good to be good.

I think it might be made up, Volders. There were a couple of songs I liked on the last Interpol, but there weren’t many and I only thought they were okay. Antics had some fucking corkers though.

And Dylan, something doesn’t have to be complex to be good.

I have to agree with all of the above who stuck up for ‘the third album’. It wasn’t a bad album – not as good as TOTBL, I agree, but it wasn’t without merit (But then yeah, all music has it’s merits. Well, not screamo.). I liked it, anyway.
I haven’t listened to these yet, and actually I might not, because what kind of a name is Julian Plenti???
Yes, I’m that shallow.
