Everything you ever wanted to know about the newest member of Interpol.

Let’s give him a name!

UPDATE: I should’ve read the whole article. Apparently “fans on the Interpol Web site have decided to call him ‘Norman.’”

    Someone on the interpol message board named it “Norman”

    oops, i guess i should have read the article before posting, that was already mentioned

  4. am i the only one to think that this video has nothing of a “Interpol video”?

  5. “Norman?” That’s the best they could do? What about “Jose C” or “Manuel B”… come on people.

    How about Scary P. McFrightensmygirlfriend?

    On a related note, can’t wait to see Interpol… and hundreds of black suit wearing, bitingly witty, IndieClones, for the 2nd time, next month.

    i totally don’t ever remember anyone on the board naming it norman. how lame.

  8. Yo, I’m totally a Charlie White fan! Check out this article on hirm from Wired Magazine last year:

    http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.02/white.html

    His ‘post-photography’ is BIZARRO! Better than looking at Fred Durst crap.

  9. Oh yeah . . Charlie White is the ‘first-time’ video director of the Interpol video. He actually does weird ass digital photography. Check out his work – he’s breaking out into the world of photography and postmodernism, and he likes to use puppets. Look out Cindy Sherman!

  10. Uh, sorry to go on about this. I finally watched the video. I think his still work is more impressive.

    It’s the jerky movements and the lack of lips that really gets me.

    He looks like the lead singer from Hope Of the States.

    G.

    It looks exactly like Conor Oberst.

    Charlie White is so awesome and I am so lucky to have him as my teacher at USC. He doesn’t take any shit from anyone but he is one funny guy. He’s going places and we can all learn a lot from him.

    It reminded me of Tobey Maguire..I think it was the hair and the massive eyes :S

    Interpol is one of the best bands I’ve ever heard…the muppet is cool, but I was expecting to actually see the band on the video….by the way…why does it have to b NormaN??

  19. that thing is creepy looking. like something out of a stephen king movie..

  20. that thing is scary as hell. Norman is not a name for that thing. I can see it being a Norman, but it deserves a much scarier name. Damn…and I was going to go to sleep…

  21. Dfunk  |   Posted on Mar 28th, 2005

    Personally, I think we should name him Willem.

  22. maria  |   Posted on Apr 9th, 2005

    that kick ass puppet should always be on the interpol videos from now on, oh, and Norman isnt such a bad name… but come on…Jose C or Manuel B? pleaseeee..are we doing rap here?

  23. pamela  |   Posted on Apr 26th, 2005

    how about jake?! sounds good to me!

  24. Tyler  |   Posted on May 19th, 2005

    Norman As in Norman Bates?

  25. Norman sounds cool. It’s like what a serial killer would be called, y’know? a very boring name for a very creepy person.

  26. VampicLord  |   Posted on Sep 1st, 2005

    How about Wilhelm? Sounds hell scary i think..
    He loks like a Wilhelm.

  27. Laura  |   Posted on Mar 13th, 2007

    It’s NORMAN. No changing it. We named him that because it’s an unassuming name, and it sounds a lot like “normal” and he’s anything but. It’s irony at it’s best.
