Hey Friends,
Dippin' into the 45's again tonight. Tonight we got The Strokes!
Hey kids, remember when The Strokes were really good?
Yeah, us too!
We really like their first their first two records a lot. Sort of like Nuggets-style garage rock by a bunch of NYC pretty boys influenced by Guided by Voices and beer. Hooks galore!
"Juicebox" was their pretty good leadoff single from their third LP, First Impressions of Earth (2006), and by this point in their career we were kinda like, "Eh". The song is pretty good and catchy; it just seems that somewhere along the way, they lost their relevance and we stopped caring!
The B-Side, "Hawaii" (a song not on the record) is pretty good too, but it reminds us more of the spazzy, jazz-influenced art pop of fellow New Yorkers, Vampire Weekend.
Enjoy!
"I Got Lucky On Prom Nite!"
