Interview: Bjork (Stylus)
The Money Shot: Of course has music always been a main unifier, above and beyond nationalities and politics . But also I find it kinda funny thinking of everyone at Times Square, for example, as a tribe—all that evolving, civilizing, and we’re still just one of the animal species. But it’s all pretty relevant anyway. I have seen my records in the “world” section because I’m from Iceland. “World music,” what is that? Everything except the US and Britain?
Interpol Shares Its 'Love' On Third Album (Billboard)
MS: Interpol doesn't stray far from the formula that helped its first two Matador albums sell more than 1 million copies combined on the new "Our Love To Admire," due July 10 via Capitol. First single "The Heinrich Maneuver" is a peppy kiss-off to an ex-love now residing on the opposite coast and hits radio May 7; the band has been playing it of late during its just-concluded Canadian tour.

MS: Q: There are so many places on the Internet for listeners to give their own minireviews of your work. Ever take a look?
A: I haven't seen too many of those. I've seen a few "real" critics' reviews — and then realized why I never read reviews in the first place (laughs). Not to alienate anyone, but they were often extraordinarily misguided. Have you seen (the Bob Dylan documentary) "Don't Look Back"? There's a scene where Dylan is in the back of the car and he says, "I'm glad I'm not me." That's the way I feel when I see some of the reviews.
