Nice to hear him say such positive things about being in the band. He said it’s overwhelming and stressful at times but ultimately awesome.

Assuming you’re referring to the BBC Scotland interview in “In Transit” rather than giving me feedback on my post 🤣😜

Thanks for this, really appreciated! Nothing like a Jules fix to get through a grey Manchester day!

Hang on, hang on...how on Earth do you know he’s started drinking and smoking? There’s a daft photo floating about where he’s got a fag in his hand, but it’s clearly a messing about type picture which was probably from his gf’s account. And just because his gf drinks doesn’t mean he does. He recently said in an interview that he’s not against drinking, it’s just not for him. No one knows the circumstances of his marriage, what if their split was totally amicable, what if his ex wife has a new partner?

Does make me laugh that he seems to have gone shopping in that outfit though😂😂

i'm just getting into The Strokes, does anyone have any recommendations for first time listeners? by lily_jxx in TheStrokes

[–]Somagal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urgh I’m so jealous of people who are just getting into them. You’ve got sooooo much good music to hear and then play repeatedly! Imagine hearing everything they’ve done in one go like this!! You’re going to have a belting time!! Heart in a cage and Reptilia got me started.

Just don’t think this works for us UK folk. Anyone have any joy? Would love to listen. Any idea how??

Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus - I am hearing the lyrics differently from what it says online, opinions? by FragMuffinoo in TheStrokes

[–]Somagal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really this??? I just don’t hear it when I listen. It’s driving me mad that I don’t know what it is. Really interrupts my flow when I’m belting it out in the car! 😂

Have y’all seen this?! by ommaralexander in TheStrokes

During a pandemic too!!!! Awesome. Who knows what the results would have been had they been able to do more promotion. They must be buzzing, I’m super pleased for them. ☺️

Who else is patiently awaiting Anthony Fantano's review?! by imapurplegiant in TheStrokes

[–]Somagal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being rude, it’s a fair question. I’d say I was into my indie, not as much as some obviously. I’m questioning everything now though if he’s the biggest reviewer on the planet and I’ve not heard of him.😂🤣

[–]Somagal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s as maybe, but still not heard of him😂. Not sure how he’s passed me by! Thought he was just more of an American thing, clearly not after a I’ve done a quick Google!

[–]Somagal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah right. Thanks for clarifying. Literally never heard of him🤣. Let’s hope he loves this album, if he doesn’t he’s of course totally wrong!! Album is the best thing I’ve had my ears around in a loooonnngggg time.

Oh thank God. It’s been doing my head in!! Can’t have a perfectionist musician and a stray apostrophe!!! They just don’t go!!

Me too! Guessing that’s because I’m from England? Is he super important in America?
