(with apologies to the Flower Power Singers and Albert Hammond) As I walked down our driveway last Friday morning I saw a red elastic band lying there, discarded by the postman. "How fortuitous," I thought. "It must be a sign," and slipped it onto my right wrist. Why? Well last Friday was International Crossdressers’ Day and those in the know were asked to wear an elastic...

So, this is really cool. The BBC reports that “an international team of architects, artists and engineers” has dreamed up a centerpiece for London’s Olympic village called The Cloud. The observation deck/park consists of 400-foot tall mesh towers and a series of interconnected plastic bubbles that can be used to display images and data — [...] Related posts: Pic of the Day:...

When the members of a band have released more solo albums than together as a whole, it’s easy to start worrying about whether or not the group’s hiatus is just that. Case in point, the Strokes. After a brilliant debut acclaimed by critics and fans alike, they released an adventurous sophomore effort that was slightly [...]

The Stroke's first solo gigs were in Japan this summer, and Monday's Spaceland show was a last minute surprise, so while last night was JC's 4th ever solo show, it was most stateside fans' first shot to see his synth-pop makeover in person. With elaborate stage backdrops and light-up costumes for their encore, Julian and band played the 8-track Phrazes along with b-sides like "I'll Try Anything...

You wouldn't really know this because I don't really ever bring it up, but I'm quite a big fan of The Strokes. Both "Is This It" and "Room On Fire" got an exceptionally high number of plays from start to finish back in the day, and I still return to them on a regular basis when I need something a little fun and summery. Whether we want to admit it or not, The Strokes really did...

This is a big step for a guy who's always been seen as "the frontman." However, Phrazes for the Young changes all of that.

Growing up as a teenager from 1994-2001, I felt jipped with the music of my generation. Rap and Hip Hop were the prominent genres, Grunge and Alt Rock were the main rock scenes, and all music I couldn’t relate to. I spent my musical upbringing in my father’s records: The Beatles, The Stones, Zeppelin, Van [...]

With The Strokes on hiatus over the last few years - though the group is rumored to be currently working on a new album despite recent reports of creative differences - the members of the downtown rock act have kept busy with their new found free time forming side-projects and putting out a number of excellent albums on their own. We’re particularly fond of Little Joy’s self-titled effort...

Julian Casablancas- Phrazes For The Young 8/10 Marrying sunny melodies with despondent lyrics, The Strokes’ lead singer and mastermind Julian Casablancas has shed his gritty punk rock demeanour for more eclectic experimentalism with his debut solo LP. Perhaps it was a determined move to ensure his detractors had a harder job pigeonholing him, harder than they’d have [...]

Albert Hammond Jr launched his line of suits for Confederacy earlier this month, a collection the fashion press had been eagerly anticipating for months, and something we’d been quietly hoping he’d do for much, much longer. There are few men that can run the sartorial gamut of suiting quite like Hammond, and with everything from [...]

Phrazes For The Young - Julian Casablancas (Rough Trade 2009, Jason Lader ) There seems to be a golden rule when it comes to side projects and solo albums, there are three well trodden paths to follow: 1) you can make a solid charming little album that never threatens to be classic but is a worthwhile none the less 2) your side project falls into irrelevance only to be appreciated by die hard fans...

Like I said when Sonic Youth appeared on the show earlier this season , I have never seen an episode of Gossip Girl. So I can only assume that this video featuring a bald Albert Hammond Jr ( pre-rehab ) performing "In Transit" is full of setting the stage for future conflicts, many things that were important happened and that all these pretty people are having a hard time living a tough...
