Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

The New Interpol Joint

Matt linked to this yesterday, and being a quasi-Interpol fan, I figured I'd check it out. It's pretty cool. After downloading the album, I think this is really the stand-out track. But I've felt like that about much of Interpol's work--they've always had a few tracks, ("No Exit," "Evil") but never put together a full album that I really liked.

EDIT: And for what it's worth consider this an open music thread. Feel free to talk about what else you're feeling or not feeling.
