"Play if you like" used by DJs when receiving new music at radio stations. A label besides a short description of the artist is usually affixed to new releases and "PIYL" follows with similar artists. An alternative at some places to "RIYL" -- Recommended if you like. It helps DJs preview something they might not have heard and gives context to the music on the album and what the DJ can play around the selection from that album from similar musicians.
Interpol is a rock group from NYC whose 6th album is a return to form of their first two seminal releases in the post-punk revival movement of the 00s. PIYL: The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeah, Joy Division, The Chameleons, Echo & The Bunnymen.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!
