i just think they’ve influenced the music world so much, and are so under appreciated. I remember when they came out with room on fire, everyone was saying “what the hell is this new wave shit?” and now every artist, not just the alternative ones, but even pop acts like rihanna & maroon 5, are doing new wave stuff. i even heard that “since u been gone” was based off of hard to explain- that thats what kind of a sound the producers were trying to go after. their influence is so big, but no one ever makes the connection or appreciates them for it. they will always be visionaries in my mind.

The Modern Age is a good choice but I rather go with You Only Live Once.

yeah of course. They are more mature now. After having met them a few times, it makes it more personal too. I wonder what direction they will go in. Wonder if Julian’s voice will try new things, I hope not, he sounds sexy each time, don’t fuck that up Jules. Mostly, I wonder about the lyrics, the transitions, the use of their instruments (will there be solos, drum, guitar, voice), what will inspire them. Honestly, as much as I love The White Stripes, and KOL, The Strokes have that nostalgic spot that only they have in my life so… let’s see what the music to this new chapter in my life will sound like. If it blows, which I highly doubt, I always have Room on Fire.

Nostalgia is so unsettling. I’m old… I wish…. I love… So good… So gone…

So I’m not actually old…but I will never be young enough to like a band in the same way again.

Keith Richards made me play guitar, but words fail to capture how incredibly exciting and inspiring it was to see the Strokes come out. For a guy born in 1981, it really meant something special to see a band my same age create something new but old and just fucking cooler than anything else for miles. The Libertines have said the same in video interviews you can spot on Youtube. Even if they never make another record, the Strokes are to the early 2000′s what the Beatles were to the early 1960′s. God bless em all, and long live RockNRoll….

All I can say is that I hope the new album is chock full of “Modern Age” style songs. I know that bands have to grow, but Is this it? was part of the reason I became a drunk…and to be honest, I’m a good drunk. Now I’m just rambling…
