| The Strokes just can't get it through to some people. It's about the fucking music, not the haircuts, not the chuck taylors, not the homo jokes, not the swagger, not the cheekbones, the music dammit and the music has balls dammit. testicles. Boo and hiss to such names as NME, mind you it was an entertaining article...but i digress...here i have gathered a few gems of the toaster that is journalism and copied and pasted them for your convienience, do enjoy! The Penthouse one - This ones kinda famous coz the Strokes dig it, i dunno whether it's the article itself or the fact that they were in penthouse...either way its a good read... New Zealanders, a robot and the Strokes in a Pub - It could've gotten nasty, but they infact wrote a really cool article on the Strokes. (from October's Rip it Up) Dress me slowly... - This article is actually written in my home town of Perth, Western Australia, and it starts of with the Strokes in Memory Lane, the store i actually went shopping for my year 12 ball dress in (of course depsite all the clothes being cool beyond my comprehention, i realised you have to be like a size 6 to fit into any of it, so i didn't actually get my ball dress there, but i love that store) In the words of Julian "Man, this is the best clothes shop I've been to in my life!". You know it, doll. *nods*. (from September Q) ps. did you notice my You am I overtone in the title? That's who they were touring with...and they were getting clothes...You am I's album...clothes...it works on levels... Dust me Selector - that title has nothing to do with anything, apart from this article being from the November issue of Selector, thus my Gerling outburst. This is a really funny Q and A with Julian and Albert, Nick makes an appearance. Stroked by an angel...and then the Strokes - Not the media, ME! that's right, i'm the enemy. no, seriously, i just wrote this coz well...i needed an outlet...i had so much strokey-ness boiling inside and it spilled over into this little article i wrote, just details how and why i like the Strokes and why you should too. so fucking read it dammit! "I want a fight!" - The drunken words of Mr. Casablancas. They don't define the band though, thank fucking god, and that's what this article is about...the Strokes...being a group of guys who are tighter than the pants that they do wear...unless girls are around...then sometimes the pants come off...but essentially re-instating the fact that the Strokes are 5 really good friends who love music and each other very much. aw. (from Q, January 2002) Conncertlivewire.com review of Is this It - i think its safe to say, they indeed think it's it. This is an external link, so if you go read it, you're gonna be leaving my site...you sure you wanna do that man? it's a big step...i mean i never did anything to hurt you why would leave?!? man come back! you know what they say..."leavin it aint easy" oh fine just go. A Spunky Student With a Debilitating Disease - indeed! this is in fact a stroke, stroking a stroke. Nick wrote an article about Nikolai and here it is, it's a really good article!! a must-read indeed, it's really nice, top work, Nick, dammit, top work, you are the shit. Heed the words of the Fraiture - Yes, it seems we all we're a bit too quick to place "the quiet one" sign on Nikolai's pretty little head, coz god damn, theres no shutting up the boy in this interview, jesus...good interview with the whole band but, if you're particullarly a Nikolai fan, then this is gold, it's all him at the end of the article, and boy he's been bottling up a lot to say... Debbie Harry interview - A really good interview with Julian, nice and casual..."I remember when I used to be in the shower and I would interview myself, you know. I think everyone does that" ...*Leonie looks shocked and happy* and i thought i was the only one who did that! yay! kiss me beautiful - "Or not." this is the one from a recent rolling stone, the amercian one i think, either was it wasn't the australian one, but it's good, but bad if you, you know, want to avoid falling in love with Julian a little more... That's all for now, but if you read anything that's good, or if i find anything else that's good...that'd be good... |
