I think you left right before I started, which means you missed the peak of my anti-indie pop crusade. stop overdramatizing it That's the joke.

But enough from me, if anyone else wants to step up to the plate and share their favourite Artie moments, the stage is yours. He'd never even heard of Mariah Carey when it was like 2007 and when another member came in here and mentioned her on a first-name basis, Artie seriously believed the member was talking about the band Marah. I remember them both (moreso Nick) hating Billboard, to the point where they would give me a hard time for referring to peak positions in billboard numbers. At the time my philosophy was that Mediabase meant nothing because Billboard was, well, Billboard. It took years of following the Mediabase charts in relation to the Billboard ones to understand why Mediabase is way better. More stations and of course the daily updates are nice Billboard was OK until 1991 when their chart became a clusterf*** of untimely methodology changes involving sales, physical singles releases, weighted markets, editorial payola...Mediabase has always been straight up airplay. We stuck with that for the sake of consistency, since that's what Billboard had been since 1946 up until 1991. And because that BB thinks that "Schism" wasn't a #1 hit. Lisping Hibiscus! He was my fave! His posts were so intelligent and he was a real genuine guy who I felt I related to and was in agreement with a lot of what he said (although I remember some differences we had, but we had quite civil conversations about them). Sadly he boardicided due to being basically cyber-bullied and harrased by a bunch of posters in the Lounge section. A bunch of posters boardicided because of those same posters, and it was actually big deal on Pulse for a while and was nicknamed "The Mass-Boardicide Incident" or something like that. Reading this made me feel ashamed for the sake of humanity. I had noticed his name no longer linked to a profile, but never looked into it any further, and now I've read why. He never struck me as one with enough self-importance to delete his own profile, but he also never struck me as a magnet for cyber-bullying. Sometimes you just wish the internet would just go away and never come back. That says everything you need to know about Joe (the Man) right there. pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/2484/kelly-osbourne-word is everything else you need to know. He coined the phrase "big dumb idiot" like 6½ years before Archer did. That's what makes him The Man. Basically, he thought mid 2000s Alternative sucked, when I thought that was the best Alternative was. If you want to see the discussion about that, check out the "Light 'Em Up" thread, lol. I gotta tell ya, I spent the majority of my last couple weeks of 2013 listening to KNDD's "The End A to Z", which basically was their entire music library played back in ABC order by song title. Because anytime radio is playing anything obscure that I know, it's like earth-shatteringly awesome to me, and they were doing it for like 2 weeks straight. On top of that, I'd been getting all up into 80's alternative/new wave/post punk at the time (and still am), and they were playing tons of it. So I reached the point where I'm opening up my iTunes library to try to guess what song's coming next, but then came the sinking realization that they were omitting enormous amounts of mid-2000s material. I mean, they didn't even play "Paralyzer". Now I personally don't really ever need to hear that song again, but it bugged me that they felt that song was beneath them enough to act like it never existed. It wasn't the biggest radio hit of the decade or anything. So that led me to make up a playlist entirely of Alternative of '05-'08, and now 8 months later, I still can't get enough of it. I left off "Paralyzer" too, but that's OK, because I can! I love mid-2000s Alternative. They just occasionally picked the wrong songs to become their biggest hits. Oh, btw... hey again everyone...(well there's that!) Good to see you again! I actually didn't mean to say that you thought the mid 2000s sucked, I meant to say that you thought today's Alternative was better than that of the mid-decade, when you ranked the Top 10 of those two time periods, which is what I didn't agree with. Sorry if I caused any misunderstandings (again). I hope to see you post more often though.

Keep moving up! This is becoming one of my favourite songs of theirs. I'd love to see them get another top 20.

This song has a nice feel to it. Interpol is a solid band, i've been a fan of them for a while. They should be much bigger than they are in the U.S.
