Now, this doesn't make any sense. For all those anticipating the 7.4.7 release of Michael Bay's Transformers, you've definitely seen lead man Shia LaBeouf sporting a Strokes T-shirt in the explosion-friendly previews.

“Fab, if you were black and I was a woman, we’d have a severe case of Jungle Fever right now.” This is the type of jargon that plagues the Strokes relaunched Web site, www.thestrokes.com. Gone is the old-school eighties TV that brought you tour updates and the hottest deals in Strokes merchandise. The old TV has been revamped by an Atari-friendly video game screen, which tunes into personal

I don't remember writing about The Strokes on this site before, actually I don't remember writing or talking about them at all in the past year, after they decided to fuck things up with FIOE -which in my opinion SUCKED-, and it's sad 'cuz they were my favorite band for so long, well not so long, but they were my favorites for the longest amount of time, and when they decided to get married, ma...

If I could just put this whole album on, I would, because every song is the best song, no kidding. Had to choose, so here's Barely Legal. Until a good friend left this in the CD player so I could have more of a listen, I'd known something was missing from my life and this was it. And, coincidentally, the album is called "Is This It?'.
