The Modern Age

How awesome is Katie Leung (who plays Cho Chang in the new Harry Potter movie) and her “skunk”/”shepherd’s pie” hair, black and white stripy sweater, and black riding boots? She’s so ready to hit up MisShapes after Hogwart’s gets out for Christmas break. Rock it! Pic from Oh No They Didn’t!.

The Needs (formerly Special Needs) = The Libertines - the drug arrests + Kaiser Chiefs‘ fashion sense + Maximo Park’s flamboyant style. Right now I’m playing their song “Francesca” which has a great punky and punchy first 30 seconds. I love the repetition of “15! 16!” Their song “The Winter Gardens” is also particularly good. [...]

The Strokes have unveiled a “fun new song” during a recent show this weekend in Brazil named “Hawaii Aloha.” Musically it sounds exactly how you would expect it to–like Julian Casablancas’ ode to Dick Dale. I claim it sounds like The Beach Boys circa “The Stamos Years.” Thanks to Hightower for the link.

Happy birthday Geo!
BTW, don’t forget to check out the latest issue of Paper w/ Citizens Band on the cover. There’s [...]

Another Strokes song, “Razor Blade,” is also out on the internet. This is starting to irritate me like the “one more thing” Apple product release stunts.
