The Strokes Post #283

you know those pleasant chills you get when you stumble across something that you never would have imagined existed?

you know how some songs you never expect to hear live?



it's a cover, but a damn good one at that. Fab wrote the song years before the conception of Little Joy, so it makes the whole shindig double awesome.

thanks so much to Olivia for telling me about this gem! "Clear Skies" is probably my favourite unreleased Strokes track. it's so simple and perfect.

UPDATE:
there is excellent news of the Strokes confirmed for another UK gig, the same weekend as Isle of Wright. this makes me very happy because it annihilates the itty bitty fear I had that the June 12th gig was a one-off thing for a while. get ready for Spring/Summer-Strokage.

I wonder why they changed the name to All the Hours?

Katie said...

The name was All the Hours all the along. Fans deemed it "Clear Skies" before knowing the actual title.

Hanan said...

Clear Skies is the better title, obviously.

Olivia said...

haha, agreed.
