A new Strokes song has leaked on l’Internet. It’s called “15 Minutes of Pain” and it sounds like a cross between the Velvet Underground (first half), The Walkmen (Hamilton-like screaming) and some power pop band like All-American Rejects or something like that (second half). Initially, it seems to be leaving listeners…confused. Thanks to B. for the heads up.
UPDATE: Apparently the original link on the post isn’t working anymore, so go here.

It just seems like I hear a new shitty Strokes song every couple of days…
if you were saying the internet like that in french it would be “l’internet”. or in strokes french it would be ze internetie.
not so good…
holy crap, is my college french teacher reading my blog again? the french canadian who used to wear the Sonic Youth t-shirt? whatever the hell your name was.
Apparently the song is just called “15 Minutes” and someone added the “of pain” as a joke because they didn’t like it. On the official tracklisting it’s just listed as 15 Minutes. The tracklisting:
You Only Live Once
Juicebox
Heart in a Cage
Razor Blade
One the Other Side
Electricityscape
Killing Lies
Fear of Sleep
15 Minutes
Vision of Division
Red Light
Evening Sun
The Ize of the World
Ask Me Anything
forever will be “15 minutes of pain” in my mind.
“sounds like the velvet underground” – knew that already.
first time i heard it was like what the hell is this! now its my favourite song…
This is the song. Can you dig it? I bought First Impressions of Earth and was furious that It wasn’t like the first record. I guess in a shallow kind of way, I just wanted more of the same. Well I got it 2:00 into track 11. Just like that the strokes were back. And In a way I was back to where I started in 2001. Except now I got this rash. Ouch.
