The Strokes Post #232
I miss this Jules. the one who didn't let his record label fuck his fans over. I really am quite pissed over Phrazes, but I know for a fact that my anger will dissipate when I hear the album. alas, I am terrible at being patient.
I don't understand why everyone is so upset the record was moved back two weeks? Who cares?
The Strokes last came out with a record in January of 2006. We're 2 1/2 months away from 2010, so what's another two weeks?
For all we know, the record release was moved back because of something Julian did. Maybe he didn't have it done in time, or maybe he needed to start touring before the record's release to get proper press but wasn't ready yet.
We don't have any idea why it was pushed back, so we (Strokes fans) need to stop all the unjust outrage.
I should have been clearer. I don't really care about the extra two weeks. I'm mostly mad because the LA thing is gonna be in November...and I think it's a stupid idea to begin with (especially with the pending Strokes album), which means he needs at least another few months to tour the rest of where ever, and in the beginning he had said he'd probably be in England in October. I feel like he's letting others make a lot of his decisions, and I think at this point he could figure things out on his own, especially because of the new found sobriety.
mainly I'm pissed because I feel like The Strokes 4th album keeps getting delayed, even though it's not entirely Julian's fault. I have this sinking feeling it won't be out until mid-2010 which means the tour will also be delayed. I just want to see them live so much. I hate being this selfish but they've made us this way with their fucking perfection that makes it impossible to settle for anything else. I'm listening to Free Energy right now and everyone keeps comparing them to The Strokes (I think I might have done the same at some point) BUT IT JUST ISN'T THE SAME. I want songs written by Julian.
he used to be so carefree and stubbornly individual-minded...I don't care if it was the drugs, I miss that Julian who refused to lip sync to a music video.
I'm mostly pissed because I live a few hours away from LA and will have to miss the shows.
ay dios mio! i adore that part. its funny cuz i had always agreed with my friends in spanish 1-4 that spanish is definatly the most melodramatic language. say "WHY BOB??!!" now say "POR QUE ROBERTO??!!!" which ones more awesome and dramatic?
ah, Latin based languages are amazing. even though German is my favourite language ever and I chose to study English, I do really love how easy it is to pick up the Romance languages because I'm somewhat familiar with Latin. I never took a proper class but I was around the stuff so much that I became familiar with it
I'm teaching myself Italian now, it's super fun! I've been thinking of taking a trip to Europe either in the Spring or the summer, whenever I have a bit of money.
My favorite part of In Transit is when Julian's describing a dream he had, realized the camera was on him and goes "it was nasty" in a really weird way... I watched it again today, obviously.
I love that toooo, Katzen! Though if I had to pick my favourite part of In Transit, it would be a tie between: 1) What about MY fucking kids Ryan? and 2) 'Just the three of us ... building castles in the sky'
Hanan might I suggest you put subliminal Italian classes for beginners into the next few Strokes concerts you upload? I need to learn it before I go travelling next year too, but lack the motivation to pull off the whole self-taught thing.
Oh yes and Allie I agree, if I wanted to inject some melodrama I would definitely choose to say 'SIDA ES MUY MALA' instead of just plain old 'Aids is bad' :D
klein you should just meet up with me there. I have a running joke with an engaged friend of mine that when I/we go to Italy, I'll be busy *COUGH* acquainting myself with the natives *COUGH* and she'll just hold my bag, what with the monogamy being kind of restrictive and all.
I love all three of those Strokes moments. the just the three of us thing makes me particularly happy
baked goods as well?! my best friend just taught me how to bake an apple pie from scratch (she's a culinary school grad and a genius...the crust was flaky and amazing) and we decided that having mad kitchen skills is one of the only guaranteed methods a la hommes. I shame myself sometimes, especially as I'm rereading Wollstonecraft's Vindication right now
Pumpkin pie with an ambian/graham cracker crust with an ambian/pecan topping for everyone!! Oh and a weed/pumpkin filling. At that point it won't matter that we all live thousands of miles away from each other because we will THINK we are in the same place. WEEEE!!!!

HAHAH Hanan that is a great plan!! Since that last comment I've enrolled in Italian community classes, aren't you proud of me?!
And as for you Miss Ellie, I will only hold your bag on the condition that you provide access to unlimited pie and / or ambian. That is all :D

Pumpkin pie, weed, and people emulating my drug-induced grammar are three of my favourite things ever.
Allie rocks my socks.
PS klein, that is fabulous! I'm started tape four (of fifteen) this morning...I listen to them in the morning as well as on my lunch break at work.
