The Strokes Post #199


The Strokes - You Only Live Once (Zane Lowe session) [mp3]
lyrics from the gorgeous demo "I'll Try Anything Once" paired with the happy-go-lucky music from You Only Live Once. Holly Golightly would probably have listened to The Strokes.

hey hanan how much would I have to pay for a crappy but not horribly crappy record player? i was thinking about getting into vinyls but i looked on best buy and they were like 300 500 dollars and that is a radonkulous amount of money

you're welcome Katzen =)

Allie, that's great! you have no idea how many awesome records you can get for a dollar or less. all my Sinatra records I got for 50 or 25 cents, and I have a LOT of them, and they all play perfectly.

I would personally slaughter you if you spent that much on a player. I don't like those super technologically advanced edge of the line turntables that people are "rediscovering" vinyl with. I got my trusty califone 1420k on ebay for 30 bucks and it works PERFECTLY. plus, it has a removable cover which makes it easily transportable...sometimes I put it in my backyard.

if I were you, I'd check my local thrift stores first, then craigslist, and then ebay.

my best friend has one of those fisher price plastic ones, and even though it looks kinda funky, it works great! plus, it's super lightweight. those are everywhere, and pretty cheap too. personally, I prefer mine, it has better speakers, but I can vouch for the fisher price ones all the same.

let me know what you decide! you shouldn't spend more than 50 bucks though. just putting that out there.

lol if i knew you were after that type of stuff... i mean ive had this track for months. love the absence of post-production on this demo. makes the sound more real.

some lost Strokes tracks i've been collecting in the past months... i have to admit i thought you'd laugh at my face; that you'd probably had published them long ago.... basically thinking i was going to make a fool of myself.
makes me feel good to confess to such stupidity.

got others which, again, i always ssume you already have, you know?

let me know.

all the best to you.

which ones exactly? I can't find the other Zane Lowe tracks...
don't feel stupid! a lot of times even I don't have things. I'm not a deity, you know.
