The Strokes Post #190

The internet is just chock full of goodies today! I got an email saying I was accepting into the Master's Degree Program I wanted, so I'll be starting next semester! But, more importantly, and a much more ATTRACTIVE bit of news is as follows:

the official album art for Phrazes of the Young:


give yourself a moment. now resume what you were doing. seriously, it's not healthy to remain frozen in place like that.

the Strokes posts of the coming days will probably be devoted to Jules and his side project goodness, because it looks as though it shall be released on SEPTEMBER 29th.

MANY THANKS TO TARA for the tip, I don't have a facebook account.

LOVE the artwork !!

But the latest post on juliancasablancas.com says we are still waiting on a release date, I want so badly to believe amazon but suspect they may just have done that as an estimate date?

PS - 8:39am in Tokyo and I'm still awaiting my YT uploads .. Are these people aware of the responsiibility they hold?!

PPS - Congrats for the Masters programme!

HAHAHHAHAHA! that was great.

erm, well I want to believe amazon too, especially because Jules said he'll be touring in the UK around October, so the album should be out by then, oui?

and thanks =)

If you're as desperate as I was to get information about last night's performance there are articles (in Japanese)

HERE-

and HERE-

The translated text was painful to read but it gives you an idea! But yeah, both articles talk about the album currently being set for release LATE OCTOBER :| I feel so deflated.

Katie said...

NO! (I forgot to congratulate you, Hanan - congratulations!!!) But NO! Oh well. I'm so crazy about this, I'm all over the place. First I'm insanely angry and then I'm all cool. Anyway.

Thanks for the links, klein. And Hanan, did you hear Julian's doing an interview for Nylon magazine? Not sure when though.

major tribute to the HMV logo in that cover!

also, Hanan, haven't spoke to you in a while, check out my blog to see the lsit of bands I saw at Reading Festival last weekend, I think you might be jealous :P x

Hanan said...

you know, as desperate as I am to hear more music from Jules, all of these comments are slightly disheartening me (the fact that the release keeps getting further away) and I think I might just wait until the album leaks to hear the whole thing. obviously, it's gonna be amazing (knowing Jules, and from those shoddy vids), so I guess it's worth the wait

thanks for everyone's comments and updates, you guys are the best!

Katie said...

I'm thinking of just waiting too

Tara said...

Haha, no worries Hanan! Much respect for no facebook, I procrastinate far too much on there hence the poor state of my blog.

Hmmm I don't really like watching the videos, I just want to wait for the album now.
