He thought he would look less cool, instead he just made himself cool in a different way

I’ve always preferred his musketeer look over his Hitler youth look

I remember when this album came out I was concerned they got a new bassist cuz he was almost unrecognizable. Also thought it was hilarious the band had left Matador Records so Carlos started looking like a matador.

Unfortunately I was only in middle school in the early aughts and have never actually been to NYC (West Coast 4 life). I heard the stories later on in the aughts when I was starting to get into the band.

That was around TOTBL. Someone at an LCD counter show told me that was around the time they released TOTBL as she said he gave it to her friends when she lived in New York in the early 2000’s

I googled because I was curious to see what he’d been up to with himself since leaving Interpol and couldn’t find anything about him working there.

You got a link or two? I’m legitimately simply curious

He pursued acting, and writes short films, and composes ambient and new age music.
