Bleh

Each time I see these guys they seem to be divided, with half of them wearing paper thin tees and the other half sporting leather jackets. Is that kind of weather only available on the runway? Or are these cut and paste pictures? Each posing from different vacation sites.
The prettiest boys at the dance are back with a third album. According to Pitchfork we have nothing to get excited about describing the first single “Juice box” as horrendous. I actually just heard it today and I have to say horrendous doesn’t cover it. For starters I bet you didn’t know Julian does a mean Craig Nicholls impersonation. To this day The Strokes have managed to stay in rocks good graces by looking like Hedi Slimane runway cronies. Unfortunately for them with so many other models turn rock icons it seems their charm runs thin.
I can’t help but feel sorry for these kids because all and all it isn’t their fault everyone bought into them. With my tail between my legs I admit I fell for the cigarette pants and The VU comparisons. With less to offer each time they emerge they’ve become the really hot girl with the Nico do who carries a copy of The Soft Machine in her accidentally opened bag. You know the scene whore who had nothing to offer but an expensive pair of jeans and an ashtray full of smokes.
The New album is entitled First Impressions of Earth and set to be released on January 3rd. It’s said to be heavier and more diverse than their previous albums enlisting the help of producer David Kahne. You might know him if you own anything by Sugar Ray or 311. I wonder what kind of ground breaking works this power duo will muster.
-Struck Numb
i remember once upon a time i saw these guys in a little dive bar in portland, maine for 5 dollars. there was maybe 75 people there. but i could never get into it–mostly because my annoying roommate would set her alarm at 6am and blast this crap every morning for probably a solid year. but seriously jorge, i mean look how pretty they are. especially that guy in the middle taking a drag, it sends chills up one’s spine
I hope he gets cancer.
Bleh indeed. Jorge – did you see this? Its a casting call for a future strokes’ video. they’re grabbing at straws…
IMPORTANT: The video is cutting edge and we are looking for talent that is comfortable with getting physical on set. Do not submit if you are uncomfortable making-out with members of the same/opposite sex (depending on scene.)
Please denote the role you want to be considered for.
SOCIALITE Aging Female, Caucasian, 60-70 years old.
Example: Lauren Bacall
LESBIANS, 20s-30’s, “Victoria Secret� model-type lesbians, prefer Caucasian.
The scene involves kissing and being affectionate with another woman.
I’m not really a big fan of the Strokes but man they are good looking! When Sandrita and i were preparing for our art show we wanted to see if our idea of doing a wallpaper with portraits of people could work. So we copied hundreds of pictures of the lovely lads from the Strokes and hanged pictures of them over the hole living room. We somehow didn’t want to take them down after we saw the idea could work. These guys should really just stop trying to make music and come work for me as models. Don’t think i could get bored taking picture of them….hehehe.
I hope the rest of them get second hand smoke cancer. Just kidding no need to turn into a hater. I agree Sandra they should just become models and stop being such clowns.
Hay .. yehhh thad was a realy good time sandra ,… when we where making thad art show. and thad right , thay are realy good looking , and thay are still on my wall
Theads a cool edea for tham to beocme as a model , and mabe open a new program , the american next mode Just Boys .. hehhehhe ikke …

and i loved doing this proged for the art show.. I even still have thay on my walll .. I thing if some of the muscans whut start to bee a model .. vóó .. I whut read the model papers in sted of the muck ones ..
nice analogy..although will you please promise me that you will never ever include the name “Nico” in a Strokes post again..or anything thus related..even after i just did. ta.
i must admit that their latest single doesn’t drone on as much as past material…then again, i heard it whilst filing documents. who wouldn’t feel desperate??
I apologize for the stretch comparison. I didn’t mean to imply that they were anything like Nico, its just that I think girls with the Nico hair do are quite hot. And as all of the girls who commented on my post will tell you these boys are lady eye candy.
i agree, Nico do’s are very hot stuffs.
as for lady eye candy, i don’t know. but you can give me mr serge gainsbourg or mr steven morrissey anyday.
(cont)…
so pretty much we’re left with one option. so i think i can go dream on..unless bill murray decides to knock on my door.
ok, i’m done.
so i’m not the only one with a bill murray fetish?? he’s so dreamy (sigh…)
If options you want then options you get. In the future I could maybe post how much I hate What About Bob.
as long as you hate it for reasons unrelated to Bill Murray, then i agree completely.
in addition, Richard Dreyfuss annoys me.
I love Bill Murray but had I been in the movie I would have shanked Bob if I was Richard’s character. But I agree Mr. Dreyfuss is very irritating I can’t remember ever watching a movie with him in it that I liked. On the other hand I agree with the girls Bill is dreamy.
jaws?
close encounters?
american graffitti?!?!
look – i have been scarred ever since having to watch “Mr Holland’s Opus” about 30 times in music class in high school. the teacher wouldn’t turn up, so we were left to suffer endlessly. teachers are evil.
i must admit though, as much as i completely adore bill murray, he freaked me out in “kingpin”
Jaws, doesnt that have a dolphin in it?
Close Encounters, sorry guy I dont watch that kind of “movie” and didnt realize you did. Hey I’m not judging just…uh…not really my thing, you know.
As far amercian graffiti is concerend, is that some racial joke? Yeah so I’m latino amercian and I grew up in LA and I like defacing public property. Also it so happens that latino kids are amazing graffiti artist, so what?!! That doesnt mean anything. I expected more from you, tsk tsk tsk.
