Ok kiddies, it seems as though there’s another Strokes song floating around. It’s called “The Other Side” and I really like it a lot. I love when Julian croons. Many thanks to Ween Sanchez for sending it along.

It just so happens that I’m reading the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, which is all about the judgement you make about people and situations in the first moments of seeing them. My first reaction to the artwork of The Strokes new album, First Impressions of Earth was I burst into a fit of [...]

There are two covers for the 7″, an alternate version of the “Jack Killed ‘Coon” picture [...]

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).

Sometimes having friends this pretty makes you want to put a bag over your head and cry. Check out the November 2005 issue of Paper magazine and see why. There’s a story on your favorite Saturday night underage fashion show, MisShapes!!! Y’all look great!

Last night headed over to the Tribeca Grand to stop into the Franz Ferdinand after party where Melody Nelson and Dan Selzer were DJing and Sons and Daughters were playing.
The advertised time that S and D were going on was 12 midnight, but of course that was a lie–they went on promptly at 1:07 am. [...]
