shite. get it?

the mp3 & vid of "Day Go By" cut off before the really good part.

why is it that Strokes side project songs sound like the shittiest rip-offs of shitty Strokes songs

strokes start recording new album this fall

>>why is it that Strokes side project songs sound like the shittiest rip-offs of shitty Strokes songs

haha. which, in turn, are rip-offs of other people's work (ahem, heartbreakers and television to name but a couple)

I'm loving the Native Korean Rock stuff. Sounds a little Mazzy Star.

stop the hateration- the new albert hammond album is wonderful- and yall aint. lets just hope the strokes skip all the collaboration bullshit and do their thing on their own- as usual.

don't forget about fab's side project, little joy.

i agree that BVers are sipping on the haterade gratuitously, but the strokes SHOULD collaborate again. their first album was revolutionary and while their second album was sub-part, FIoE was a great, great LP, even if it didn't please the hipster majority.

Nikolai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds Awesome!!!!!!!!

nikolai is such a wack attack. i only car about the good looking strokes members. which means i don't care about nikolai or albert. and these days i'm only half caring about julian.

If Phor Real produced the strokes that shit would be crazy son. You hipstaz don't about dat. Off the chiz son.

that "OOO" song is amazing. sounds like Pavement's "Here" or something. I hope somebody taped the whole show.

Those Nickle Eye Songs sound pretty great.
I'm excited. But then I'm a fan of all three Strokes albums. (Room on Fire has been ignored for far too long, maybe in 20 years it'll have a comeback)

That first song does sound quite a bit like Only Son/Stiplicon

I wonder how much input Jack Dishal had.

What's with all the room on fire hatin'. That album has some really good shit on it. It's not as consistant as is this it but come on it's a better album than all these shitty flavor of the week indie rock bands put out that bullshit albums you hipsters will forget about in two months.

thank god! some people with common sense! who know what music is! its not those bullshit v-neck sweater wearing, studio b playing, no-permit concert-going, non contributing, conformist bullshiting bullshiters. keep on repping the strokes- all of their albums were at the very least decent with their debut LP obviously being completely ground breaking- plus their all hot especially fab and albert and nick and nikolai

I especially like Brandy of the Damned

room on fire is their best album...even though they don't seem to think so. here's to whatever side projects they decide to do. look at wolf parade and animal collective---all of theirs sound similar, but good. sometimes keeping the SAME sound isn't such a bad thing.

It's funny how if you like a band then you say they're "influenced" by someone. It's only when you don't like a band that they've ripped someone else off. The Strokes sound nothing like Television. Maybe you should get your own opinions instead of repeating what a bunch of lazy journalists who stole from another journalist said. If you wanted to say they ripped off Tom Petty at least you'd be right.

I didn't like what I'd heard of Nikolai's stuff online, but I saw him at Pianos and it was really good live.
