GodDAMN that was great! I don’t like that song that much but holy sheeet they rocked it.
I feel confident that somewhere, The Picture of Julian Casablancas is moldering away in a closet, covered by a tarp, and where an Adonis-like image once shone from the canvas, something more like the Crypt Keeper from Tales of the Crypt glares balefully. Julian seems to get more attractive as the years go by. The bastard.
Why was Machu Picchu not the first single? Holy fantastic. I am 100% in love with this album. They done good.
So are you saying Julian’s or Al’s dad called Geoff Travis from Rough Trade and brokered a record deal, not Ryan Gentles, and that they didn’t flyer the shit out of NYC on their own before every single show, and that they didn’t play any gigs as unknowns? What is this, 2001 all over again? Come on, the whole “their dads bought their instruments and paid people to write their songs and got them signed” spiel is so dated it’s laughable. So what if they grew up with some money? Nikolai didn’t, btw. His dad was a security guard at Macy’s. The Strokes made a lot of shitty music before they finally hit on what worked for them. it’s annoying that 10 years on people are STILL parroting the same misinformed garbage about so-called parental negotiations with record companies, and tangling it all up with their upbringing(s). Bah!
I’m a fanGIRL, tyvm :p
Seriously, love them or hate them, but not know them? The mind boggles.
Julian sounded like he wasn’t feeling so well for UCoD but the second time out he sounded fine. And I laughed when he said ‘fuck it’. Come on, it’s funny! It was funny when Cherie Oteri or whatever her name is did it too. I wonder if they made him put a dollar in the swear jar too?
Uh, the Strokes formed in 1998. They didn’t just ‘show up’ on the scene already signed. They did a lot for the so-called scene (where bands didn’t hang out and/or really support each other). Y’know, Albert promoting the YYYs, and The Strokes taking other little-known bands from NYC on tour. There was a lot of bitterness and jealousy. Hmmm, I suspect Jack and Meg know exactly what that felt like.
Well that was embarrassing.
I love that feather thing he’s got going on, I think he first started wearing it at the end of December, his first Fallon appearance for Phrazes.
Amazing but why the hell did they wait so long to make this? This song is over a year old.
I am retardedly in love with this man. He can do no wrong in my eyes.
That’s a really pretty set they’re offering but I sure can’t afford it right now. Bah.
’92
*nsync shirt, a ’92 neon green ’92 cutlass Sierra…dude totally has a sense of humor 
Because clearly Julian picks out his band members’ outfits…
Goddamn he looks good, and the album is fantastic.
I see your point but your CAPS are UNNECESSARY and DISTRACTING and also a bit OVERLY DRAMATIC.
Agreed. Though he did look scared shitless at the start, can’t blame him. First time on the teevees with solo stuff. Plus it helps that he looked amazing, unf. This album is absolutely amazing ( the only other record this year that has surprised me anywhere near as pleasantly is Julian Plenti is…Skyscraper), I’m dying to see this band live.
This gets better every time I listen to it. Jules has just reminded me why Is This It was so great-because he wrote most of it. If there isn’t another Strokes record I’ll be fine with that and the memories as long as this man keeps making music.
I’ve had this on non-stop since the first time I heard it. Excellennnnt.
It’s cool to like The Strokes again? I can’t keep up with this shit, I keep missing the memos :/
Anyway I’m excited!
Ah jeez. That just sucks all around. I love Deerhunter to pieces and it breaks my heart that he gives so much away for free just for the sake of sharing then runs into something like this. Bah.
I’m sure he has shitloads of time to party with supermodels every night in spite of the fact that her has a young set of TWINS at home. Sheesh.
I’ve missed these two. Fuuuuuck this is delicious.
