Julian Casablancas Lets the Metal Out
I got a concerned email from reader L about Julian’s “new white trash/metal look”, with a link to these paparazzi shots of Julian and Juliet from an SNL Afterparty last weekend.
The reader seemed troubled by the appearance of a zip-up Metallica jacket in combination with dirty white hightops, an ill-fitting tshirt, black baggy jeans, and a chain around his neck. And to top it all off, long stringy hair.
Are you worried too, my friends? I think he looks quite happy, so who cares? But I would love to see the return of a black leather jacket and/or the military jacket–or is that too My Chemical Romance now?

I couldn’t focus on the fact that Shia was about to get pulverized by a Decepticon because all I saw was that blue and white logo!
Methinks the Strokes–who are children of the 80s–are probably psyched.
