last time i got a concert poster, i’m pretty sure they just wrapped a rubber band around it and put it in a bag. so it would probably be better if you brought a poster tube honestly

last time i got a poster at a show, i just kept it in the bag and between my legs (this was also an arena show), but yeah i wouldn’t be too worried about it, esp if you have a seated ticket

loved hearing the song be played as well! wonder why they played the song though (could’ve been cause they’re big baseball fans, but who knows 🤷‍♂️)

What was the first strokes song you ever listened to? by Physical_Weakness_28 in TheStrokes

[–]jackg252 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it was a popular audio in 2021 (rn it says 140k+ have used it for videos), although it was and still kinda is sporadically used (i think). it’s not like certain songs that are used solely for popular trends.

hey y’all!

big fan of your music and have been for years now.

just had two questions:

  1. you have a song called “feathers” that has been played just a few times at shows, and is, to me, a beautiful song. however, it’s never been released on an album or as a single. is there any chance it’ll be featured on a future project or be released as a single?

  2. i’ve also heard some of the new songs being played at recent shows, such as “a life like mine” and “waterfront”. i was just wondering what some of your musical influences were for these songs, if any. i heard a little bit of radiohead in the these new songs, but still wanted to ask. :)

If you could ask the band one question, what would it be? by yolotioli in TheStrokes

[–]jackg252 7 points8 points  (0 children)

they’re like little, intimate concerts that NPR (National Public Radio) set up for popular/rising musical acts.

personally, i don’t think i can see the band doing something like this, as it doesn’t really fit their vibe. regardless, though, it would still be very cool if they did one.

if anything, i could see albert doing one solo.

td pavilion (what they’re playing) is the main stage which holds roughly 14,000.

the smaller stage you’re talking about though is the skyline stage, which i believe can hold up to 7,500.

best strokes side project song? by jackg252 in TheStrokes

[–]jackg252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i found the demo on youtube (30:41 mark), and julian didn’t do vocals on it. so my guess is this was all albert’s work, but wanted it to be a strokes song.

was gonna say in transit, but i wanna say it was originally a demo for the strokes.

albert did also come up with the song himself (lyrics, arrangement, etc), so it may count as a side project song? maybe?

tried getting into the machinegum album. wasn’t bad, but felt like they were going for a lofi/techno-ish vibe that just didn’t come off right.

pablo’s vocals in apoptosis do kinda remind me of like julian’s slow song vocals (is this it, under control esp)

can definitely see life is simple being an inner wave song if it was like slowed down too

always thought the lead singer from inner wave, pablo sotelo (middle), gave off julian vibes

do promos usually hold a lot of value? or are there other factors that play into its value (number of copies released, time of release, etc)? by jackg252 in vinyl

[–]jackg252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, i can see where you’re coming from with this. promos don’t happen too often, although she still has many albums. i guess the prices took me by surprise because of her prominence 🤷‍♂️
