The Strokes Post #615

Radiohead - Just

Chuck Klosterman once wrote "The reason Johnny Carson was important was not because he was funny or clever or cool ... but that he was the last universally shared icon of modern popular culture"

what he meant by that is we live in such an intricate vast society and pop culture has so many damn subgenres that there are JUST no more cultural phenomenons. I think about that a lot, especially when I'm consuming music. There's just so much, yknow?

"Just" by Radiohead is one of my all time favourite songs. I realized earlier that I hadn't seen the video before. So I watched it. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks that I had seen it, probably ten years ago, way before I started listening to Radiohead.

you should watch it.

I'll wait for you, Julian C.

Jack White and Danger Mouse deliver a new song

Danger Mouse said:“I played some of the music for Jack White when I was on tour shortly after doing the first session, just to show him what I was doing, because at the time everyone thought I was just a hip-hop guy, or whatever. He liked it, but at the time I wasn’t even thinking of using him – you know, it’s Jack White. But in the end, I thought, he’s really into it – why not? He tried it in different voices – a high voice, a low voice, and I thought, why don’t we leave them all in? There’s a bunch of his vocals on Rose With The Broken Neck, and it doesn’t always sound like him – sometimes you’re like, is that Jack or not?”

"Two Against One" is eerie and has distinctive Southern charm. listen to it HERE

The song comes from Rome, Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s multiple-collaboration joint musical experiment. You know how Danger Mouse does it. Jack White also lends vocals on "The Rose With The Broken Neck"

Rome will be released on March 1st.
