Cola Gorda Updates
Paul Banks has a solo album coming out on August 4th. He’s going by the name Julian Plenti, which is nothing less than a giant stab in the back to all of us Cola Gordians or ex-Cola Gordians. I’m either the former or the latter, depending on my moods. He should have released a record under the name Cola Gorda.
The album is called Julian Plenti Is… Skyscraper, and as far as album cover art goes, this is pretty swank East Village stuff. I enjoy the party banner lettering above his head. The colors are metallic and sensual, just like Helena Cougar Mellencamp’s eyeballs and Cola Gorda’s watch. Ha! I called him Cola Gorda again. He will always be Cola Gorda around these parts, so he can just drop this Julian Plenti business even though he’s actually been carrying the name around in his heart for roughly 10 years.
Either I’m incredibly stupid (don’t answer that!) or totally mp3 reatrded because I could only find snippets of his new songs on the web. and that Julianplenti.com site is a mind phuck! I found some youtube clips, though. Here are the ones I listened to:
It would have been really nice if each and every song sounded just like Leif Ericson or Narc or something, but something tells me that they won’t. Which is probably for the best, anyway. I think I’m ready for new songs sung by Cola Gorda.
I’m still pissed off at that “No “i” in threesome was written, sung, recorded, and performed. Bad song. Really bad song. Mammoth saved that record. Why am I still bytching about Our Love To Admire? Because I bought that shiz with real money and he probably used my money to treat the cougar to a block of Danish cheese.
P.S. Oh, and Minna has told ne that Cola Gorda and the Cougar have split the eph up! Is this true?
“Helena Cougar Mellencamp”!!!!! hahahahahahahaahaaaahahahahahaaaaa
Oi! Thanks for hearing my plea!
This one might well be the official video for the first single “Fun That We Have”:

I suppose ‘Esplanade’ is not the version that will be on the album. The live recording is probably from around 2002.. The only songs that are out there are Skyscraper (snippet on the site) and Fun that we have, nothing seems to have leaked without his consent.
Do you think that Cola Gorda is playing games with his fans? He is masterful in increasing suspense and anticipation…
Now, someone who knows some danish could volunteer to translate the news articles… that we might know moar!
oh, one thing moar..
i’m with you in the “Cola Gorda Is… Skyscraper”!
that sounds mighty better
Some danish gossip website claim that Paulena have split up. We think it’s true.
BTW, did you know Sam Fogarino’s wife is pregnant?
yes our love to admire wasa pretty crappy cd. HOPE THE SLIP UP I HATE WHORELANA
Do you guys like ‘fun that we have’? Am I the only one who’s yawning all over the place?
Konst, for your sake I hope it is true that they are split up. I will miss you calling her Holena Christenphuck, though.
Hi Hazey! Is she? How cute!
I’ve listened it about 30 times this week xD
FTWH is not an easy song, it does not even have a chorus part. It’s more about the strong sonic nyances that I like in it, and the lyrics and the delivery!!
Anners, what about ‘Skyscraper’ that plays on the site?
(I thought that minnie sounds better than minners?
I’m helpless with names..)
Minnie/Minna: Hahahahahhaha!
Cola Gorda Is… Skyscraper.
Hi Anners! Yes, she is. That’s really cute.
I like Fun That We Have. I honestly always thought that a Cola Gorda solo album would be something like Lil Wayne, you know?
This song totally surprised me.
And I also really hope that Paulena is no longer together. I can’t stand Holena Christenphuck anymore.
Hi girls
I need to listen to Fun that we have little more because it still doesn’t make my love grow…
but it will be a great appetizer while we are waiting new interpol’s album

I wanna know anything about Daniel as well. Is he still dating that Italian bitch?
I know nothing about Daniel.
