When I first heard this song, I had the same response as you. But I think - out of respect to the band - Julian wouldn't touch any songs they had ready to go for the recording process. I think he has too much respect for the four other dudes in the band.

well what if they gave him their blessing Eric? just because it hasn't been publicized doesn't mean they haven't been talking and shit.

Eric said...

I don't deny they've been talking, but does it seem like that would be something he would ask for in the first place?

Hanan said...

maybe they asked him? I dunno, we should assume that we understand their dynamic as a band and/or as friends just because we've watched In Transit 235435 times.

*shouldn't

Olivia said...

I was thinking that maybe he wanted to test out the song and see how people reacted to it. Plus I think the fact that there is still no name to the song is a bit suspicious.

Who cares, guys, this shit sounds awesome.

Hmm.From my perspective as a fan, band's blessing or not, I'd still be unsettled if Julian introduced a Strokes song without the other boys on stage. I think I'll be upset if that's the case. But who knows, who knows. Sounds good, anyway.
