“They’re sexier than The Strokes, more savage than The Stripes, more kick-ass than The Vines and infinitely superior to The Next Bunch Of Miserable Indie Barmen We Hype To The High Hills…” Hahahah. Anyhoo- the NME lays some love down for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, baby!
Grunnen Rocks reports The Datsuns back in NYC: May 31 and June 1 at the Ding Dong Lounge.
SOMEONE FEED THE STROKES! Co-co-coachella! Thanks to “wicked child.” Also, more shots of the boys from New York playing the Cambridge gig over at Photo2000.co.uk. Thanks Tina!
Yesterday, as I was making my way to the elevators after class, my guitar teacher asked me if I liked the Strokes . I paused for a second or two and then managed to sputter out a cautious, “yeeaah..? why?” He acted suprised and said, “Oh, I wouldn’t have thought that.” I looked at him funny, like he was retarded and asked, “why?” He responded, “Oh, I thought they wouldn’t be ‘indie’ enough for you…” My eyes bugged out and I said in an utterly confused state, “WHAT?” He chuckled and shook his head, “I was just kidding.” Oh fucking hell I thought, then I said, “I HATE YOU!” The elevator came and I got in. No one called me Indie the rest of the day.
M.P. sighting… I think for the first time this year. Dude- I just got home from CLASS. How much does that suck?
The Strokes have new songs! Including one called “That’s Not Your Fault.” Cochella in action.
I’m not going crazy! Orlando Bloom IS DOING GAP ADS! Thanks to Deb for the link.
This is so funny. This weekend my friend was taking a piss and saw Ben Byrne from Starsailor. Luckily (or unluckily?) he had his camera and they took a picture together in the bathroom, hence the white tiles in the background. Hahahhahaha.
I just got an email with pictures from our BBQ in London last year. It made me so happy. It was awesome. But it was funny looking at it because I was like “who the hell is that??!?” I don’t even know who the chick I’m sitting next to is.
