Just to remind you.... band of the day: The Strokes
Just imagine for a second it's 2000. You just heard about this new amazing band from NYC and nobody even had a t-shirt - much less one that is predominantly featured in a motion picture:
Just imagine for a second that this new sound was new... and that you could once again go back and feel how you felt when you first heard the following songs.
I remember going to the 9:30 club to watch them and the Moldy Peaches play and how the buzz was so strong you could almost get naked to it and everything would have been alright. I remember everyone coming into my car and listening to it and just being blown away. Just imagine it was 7 years ago...
You would realize once again just how amazing "Is This It?" was. I know I did all day....
This last one is my favorite...
I try to wrestle with the idea of selling out every day. I try to wrestle with the notion that bands just can't help the critical mass. Do you blame Wilco? Do you blame The Stones? Do you blame Iron and Wine? I mean... you can't... but... what you can do is remember when you were there when it was young, hot, alive, sex personified, and you were alive watching it and being just a little bit apart of it.
I have had this feeling since...but I just haven't had the energy to track it all down and suck at it. Link posted by JVMM : 1:45 PM
