Artist:
photos from a boy I met at the concert who doesn't really appreciate Julian. it makes me angry, seeing as how so many people would kill to see this genius live, and there are people who go to concerts because of work assignments and don't even enjoy it. funnily enough, he feels the same way about King Khan as we do about Julian so maybe I should go to a King Khan show and be all indifferent abo...

concert review: Julian Casablancas @ the Regency Ballroom (San Francisco), 17 November 2009
-
Artist:
[photo is not mine, snagged it off some forum]There’s something so personal about listening to Is This It.

It’s easy to sing along, the arrangements and lack of alliterative lyrics make it seem like a piece of cake. It’s so raw, so accessible, and it gets you to believe that you’re a roc

holy moley I love this. it's erratic in every good sense of the word. Vampire Weekend are scoffing at sophomore slump like I used to scoff at people taking the LSATs.I like this song a helluva lot more than I like any of my cousins. and yes, it gets better with every listen. I especially love the pseudo-Christmas-y ending.Ezra doesn't have time to remember to breathe, he's too busy trying to maint

I love Berkeley sososo much. I love that I can talk to everyone about music there, and that almost everyone can keep up. so I got together with a very good friend of mine, told her I felt like getting a tattoo, and she accompanied me. the tattoo artist who did my tattoo just so happened to be the only guy in the shop who liked The Strokes, and he asked me if I liked The Hives and I said "hell y...
