The Strokes

I’m not sure why but I thought this song was perfect for today.  It’s not rare, unheard, or especially brilliant but it is a great track from a band whose only strike is that Rolling Stone seems to have an awkward love love relationship with the band.  Other than that there’s never been anything about this NYC quintet [yes I know the picture only has four of them] that I’ve found I disliked.  I like their sound, their attitude, their swagger.  I like it all.  And because I do so should you.

This track appears as the lead off song on their newest full length, First Impressions of Earth (iTunes), and I will go on record and say that it is their best album yet.
