Well, well, I never thought it would come to this when I started
my TURN UP THE VOLUME blog back in 2015, to kill some time
now and then.

But over the years more and more music junkies, artists, PR agencies and
record labels found their way to TURN UP THE VOLUME which motivated
me to write more and more and, eventually, spending all of my free time
with blogging.

An overview of the number of
views over the past 6 years.

What Turn Up The Volume is playing/watching between coffees

Meg and Jack produced whipped up blues-rock waves around the globe
as THE WHITE STRIPES between 1997-2011 with 6 topnotch albums, searing
gigs (I know, I was there) and some glorious video clips for singles, like this
one for The Hardest Button To Button from their 2003 album Elephant.

Roll the tape, folks…

Inbetweenies! INTERPOL’s Masterstroke Single ‘NYC’ Turns 20 Next Year

Posted on by JL

What Turn Up The Volume just watched/played between two coffees

10 December 2021

Band: INTERPOL
Who: Celebrated post-punk
rockers from New York City
Active: 1997-present / 6 LPs

Song: NYC
A slow-burning and glowing torch, with
a spine-chilling guitar line starting around
the 2-minute mark and gleaming until the
very last second. Pure magic!

From their 2002 debut album
Turn On The Bright Lights.

Great lyrics too…

I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
I’m sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care

The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you’ve supported me for a long time
Somehow I’m not impressed

But New York cares (got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (got to be some more change in my life)
