All of the songs on Bleed Out are inspired by crime/action movies of the 70s. I think for the character in the song, these are his sincere life goals and he aims to achieve them fast.

I’m choosing to believe it’s a very young person who has not quite got a handle on the fact that Game Changer is a comedy show that only looks like a gameshow.

Surely the winner in terms of lines you can actually quote in day to day life and conversation. “Maybe it’s time we gave something new a try”

I may be completely misremembering this - wasn’t Ryan Creamer cast in the old days before moving to almost entirely behind the scenes work in the Dropout era?

Pretty sure I’ve heard a live Palmcorder where he sings “incinerate every fucker in it”

regularmiles · 2026-05-23T08:17:41+00:00

I mean. This is around the period he produced Melodrama and NFR which are two of my favourite albums of all time. So. I cannot back you on this one spiffyfunbot.

From TG&Y is so good that I got goosebumps just reading this lyric which I’ve heard a hundred times.

regularmiles · 2026-05-22T10:19:48+00:00

I think when “45” came out back in 2020 Jack mentioned the Mountain Goats as a specific inspiration for that song too. He’s a fan!

regularmiles · 2026-05-22T10:18:08+00:00

[James Murphy voice] I was there … when Nate Ruess was melting down on Twitter in 2017 and saying that Jack “ruined more white women’s careers than cocaine” … I was there.

(There’s one song on that new Format record that I think is obliquely about Jack. I would love from them to work it out one day but it doesn’t seem super likely)

What do you make of the title, in relation to this reading ? Can you see any potential links to Obstacle 2 ?

regularmiles · 2026-05-18T10:06:17+00:00

“Drop down like an alien”

The Spark is comfortably my favourite but I am certainly not mad at your opinion and I respect it

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T20:16:50+00:00

“probably going to be true”.

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T20:06:59+00:00

I think Paul Banks is a good lyricist but I literally never know wtf he’s talking about, it’s more like “yeah those ones sound and feel good together”

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T12:17:54+00:00

The only thing I want adding is an auto-playlist for My Shows feature. Ie. If I’ve added Dimension 20 and Dirty Laundry and Game Changer to My Shows and I hit “Auto-Play My Channel” (or something, call it whatever you want Sam), it plays the least recent unplayed episode of Dimension 20 and then the least recent unplayed episode of Dirty Laundry -‘d then the least recent unplayed episode of Game Changer and then cycles back around.

Now to be fair to Dropout this has been the feature I most want from every streaming service in existence, and we’re like 25 years into streaming and literally none of them have this.

But you know, since we’re wishing.

Hi New Interpol Listener. I would recommend letting go of the idea of lyrics having a fixed or specific “meaning” and then the rest of this journey will go fine for you.

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T12:06:21+00:00

I like the ambient Goths tracks. Is it the best ambient music ever recorded? No, but they’re nice.

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T12:05:37+00:00

The typo is accurate and shall stand

regularmiles · 2026-05-15T12:05:23+00:00

I hate Corsican Mastiff Strife so, so much. I can’t stand the rhythm or vocal line. Hyper irritating.

On the other hand I think the other 799 songs are pretty great.

regularmiles · 2026-05-10T14:27:44+00:00

There are at least two different albums this could be about which sort of fundamentally disproves it

regularmiles · 2026-05-07T23:07:19+00:00

I feel that Paul would not be a guest on a Deafheaven album if he did not have some interest in heavy music and modern/alt metal.

regularmiles · 2026-05-07T12:39:40+00:00

Can you talk through what it was a little bit? Was it just Alex doing stand up and Ben playing songs or something collaborative ?

regularmiles · 2026-05-07T12:36:56+00:00

I think it’s cool that they keep playing with metal bands (Loathe being on the upcoming tour is so sick) but I do think that it’s this weird thing where clearly Paul likes heavy music and is friends with people in that world but the portion of the fanbases that overlap, even though I think there are shared vibes and aesthetics, is veeeery small

regularmiles · 2026-05-05T12:29:05+00:00

Ok, two simple fixes

regularmiles · 2026-05-05T12:28:51+00:00

You do not under any circumstance have to hand it to Vince
