I fall off the Interpol wagon for two seconds and everybody changes their damn faces and stuff? I was first alerted to Cola’s haircut by Master Tsukai a few days ago. Or was it a week and some change? I don’t know! Whatever, it was a good move; he needed a damn haircut. Then Morgan threw a small squee party on her blog about Cola’s brand new grey arm band. It’s hot! I love his ginormous wrist/arm bands! Infinitely sessual.
So I hit up the messboards again. Glad to see that nothing has ephing changed! Cola still rules supreme on the photo thread. There are 4604 posts for his Ashtanga Yoga Booty alone! Impressive. Carlos is at 1984 posts, the Amish Boy is at 1116, and FogarinHo is at 674. What the eph? Show some damn respect to Samuel, bytches! Just start posting shit on there so he doesn’t feel bad when he visits. You know he does, BTW. They all do. Even the Cougar! Are there any new mods over there? If so, be assured that she is one of them. She’s watching us. I swear to the heavens that woman googles her self each and every morning after her quotidian phone call to Josh Hartnett.
There was a point to all this. I stumbled across a review of Interpol’s Manchester show on Female First. For the uninitiated, it’s an online British tabloid, and that scared the bejeezus out of me. I’m used to seeing stories about Rhys Ifans drowning his sorrows in booze because Sienna Miller dumped him, not stories about Interpol. It’s corny as hell, by the way. I pasted it for you. You’re phucking welcome.
Once upon a time there was a picture of Daniel Kessler here. Then along came a person who ordered me to take it down. They also called me scary names on a messboard. :( Sorry, Tiffers! Orlando is cuter anyway. Hee.

P.S.Louise said I was being unduly harsh with the wonderful girls at that one messboard. I trust Louise, so: “sorry girls from that one messboard, you’re cool beans!”
Except for those few who said weird stuff… You guys still blow.
*** Last call for a Mole Patrol T-Shirt is January 21. That’s Monday. Make sure you pick a size! That’s all we need at this point. Prices will come later. I don’t see them being over $500.00 <—— Hahhahaha.
Greetings, Cola Gordians! Master Tsukai actually agreed to talk to me! Yay! This was supposed to be all ready Monday morning but I goofed. I hope I didn’t piss anybody off! By the way, this is my first ever interview (I feel like such a journalist!), so please don’t throw stones. For those of you not familiar with Master Tsukai, she is the awesome and pretty little lady from Mexico D.F. who loves Interpol, has a kick ass myspace page, adores Daniel Kessler, and takes the loveliest live pics of the band I’ve ever seen. They are like high, sexy art! She also has quite an extensive collection of Interpol memorabilia.
I asked her a few questions and she was sweet enough to email them back to me. She’s sooooo nice. Thanks, Master Tsukai, you’re the coolest messboarder evers!
P.S. Master Tsukai can confirm that Cola Gorda is at least 1.63 meters tall, but is unable to tell us the precise number of moles on his person. Sorry, Ugg! I know you were waiting for that.
P.P.S. (Updated: 1/16/08) Master Tsukai got quoted in Q Magazine in an article for Interpol’s San Francisco show! Click HERE and HERE.
I promised Sara/Coffeeconverse (hee hee) a Daniel Kessler post like two days ago! Sowwy, Sara! I hope this one doesn’t suck too bad! I am out of my element, seeing as I am 100% pro-Banksy, so cut me some slack if I don’t do him the proper justice!
For the uninitiated: Daniel Kessler is the quiet, vegetarian and non-smoking dude that masterminded Interpol. He’s also possibly Amish or something according to Interlol and some chatter in the messboards! That’s why I asked if he churned butter. Seriously, they straight up call him “Butterchurn.” Okay, I think they just tease him because he used to have muttonchops. He’s not Amish! If he were, his suits wouldn’t have buttons on them. Anyway, Daniel brought all those hot bastards together (Paul, Carlos, and Sam) to create some divine music, and in that way, he’s very God-like. I’m just kidding. He’s cool beans, though. I visited the Danielholics thread and found some cute little descriptives:
“That he’s the only member that doesn’t smoke, that he’s a vegetarian and a general hippie-geek, the way he really feels his music, that he went to Gallatin at NYU for about four different majors, that he sucks it up and does most of the talking for the guys, that his mind always seems to be in ten different places, the way he looks in a suit, how he hides his sarcasm with politeness, and that he based the members he chose for the band not only on talent but on whether or not they would all get along.”
And this one:
“Dan’s movie addiction, suits, his insecure eyes, passion for music, music taste, the fact that he speaks french fluently, he’s a nerd (they all are…), his dance when he (fucking) plays electric guitar, that he seems so innocent, he looks like that french guy in The Beach…”
He looks like the French dude from the Beach? It’d be cool if I actually saw that piece of shit movie, but I didn’t, so this info is pretty much useless, but oh well! Oh, and I’m glad I grabbed that quote because I forgot to mention that Daniel speaks French.
* One more thing: Daniel has a really sweet presence. I remember at the Jimmy Kimmel show, he was the first one on stage for sound check or whatever, and he looked really cute and proud and sincere in his suit. That was nice. He was the only one who seemed happy to be there.
* I lied! Something else: I wonder if Daniel understands that he is owned by Master Tsukai? * Thank you Master Tsukai! Your pics are awesome… :)
^ A Clip of Kessler falling on stage. I forgot about this! Thanks Stella!
Here is a picture of Banksy topless – sorry if you were eating dinner or something (just kidding, ……. but not really). I just can’t see what is so sexy about the pale skinny boy with the cigarettes – but whateva floats your boat ladies!
Anyways, Anners seemsto be off enjoying her weekend but it’s a Sunday night for me and I need something to distract me from thinking about the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow, so I found you guys an interview with Daniel about the band, there are also more pics.
Okay, once upon a time, Daniel Kessler fell on his arse during a performance of Obstacle 1. Here’s a clip. It happens pretty quick so just start the video and keep your eyes peeled. You’ve prob seen this before, but I needed a day off from cola gorda aka Ashtanga Yoga Booty, and it’s pretty damned funny. Sorry, Daniel Kessler! I know that you read this blog daily, you little bytch! Hahahahahahahha. I kidd. Daniel Kessler is not a bytch. He’s a vegetarian!
