Interpol - Our Love To Admire - mp3 review

August 2nd, 2007 r8e8rcom

After a short stint of sobriety this summer I’m now not so proud to announce that I have lost my resistance to hang-overs.  Most of you know me well enough to have witnessed, or at least heard of, my uncanny ability to drink until 5:00 am and show up for work the next day.  Maybe not on time, but when have I ever been on time for anything.  But alas, my days of bottomless whiskey bottles and endless cigarettes are over.  After falling asleep on a bar stool in Greenpoint at 4:30 this morning I headed to the comfort of a friends couch to call it a night.  And although I did make it in to work my head is swimming in a cloud of fog that settles right behind my eyes and makes everything just a tad bit more blurry than usual.  Thoughts seem to sit just out of my grasp in the back of my head, a fleeting glimpse that’s more annoying than motivating as they disappear with each pounding throb of my head that sears with pain into my eye sockets.  Ah, so this is what a hang-over feels like.  Was I just perpetually hung-over before and didn’t realize it?  Whatever the reason I feel like I can now fully appreciate what a commitment of having a ‘night out’ really is.

Interpol, or International Criminal Police Organization as the kids say, is an organization facilitating international police cooperation. It was established as the International Criminal Police Commission in 1923 and adopted its telegraphic address as its name in 1956. It should not be confused with the International Police, which takes on an active uniformed role in policing war-torn countries.  Yeah, I know how to use wikipedia.  And you thought Interpol was a bunch skinny white Williamsburg kids, shows how much you know.
