Found this video from the TriBeCa Film Festival Music Lounge over at the Music Slut: Chris Thile (formerly of Nickel Creek, now of the Punch Brothers) doing his bluegrass cover of The Strokes’ song “Heart in a Cage.”

Personally I love this version of the song. I think the slowness and simplicity of singing the song […]

Dear Albert hearts him some “Gossip Girl.”

The shocking (?) truth revealed in the New York Magazine cover story on the stars of the hit CW series:
“Did I tell you I met Albert Hammond Jr. the other night?” he [British actor Ed Westwick, aka “Chuck Bass”] asked Leighton one afternoon at the Rose Bar, when she […]

Yessss! Hello excitement! Just when you’d totally resigned yourself to forever hearing Albert Hammond Jr. referenced as a solo artist, Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture has given hope to all the er… Strokesheads … out there with his most recent post to the official Strokes website.

Says Nikolai, “I’m still looking very forward to a fourth album […]

I just caught The Redwalls on Leno playing their song “The Game of Love.” I couldn’t help but thinking that The Strokes were probably giving them a ring, asking if they could have their song back.

Mark May 29th on your calendars kids, because The Strokes will not only reveal the new website for TheStrokes.com (it’s getting a rehaul), but they will also premiere the alternate video for “You Only Live Once” (that’s YOLO to the fans), directed by Warren Fu, a LucasFilm art director (Star Wars prequels, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, […]
