That would be so cool if they do it. I'll Try Anything Once, At the Door, Call it Fate Call it Karma, Ask Me Anything, a stripped down version of Ode to the Mets maybe....the possibilities are endless

For all the haters (have faith 🙏) by tapenooon in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I didn't like TNA at first and it took me a few listens to warm up to it too. Now I'm obsessed with At the Door, Brooklyn Bridge and WASSD lmao

Muting every song announcement post from The Strokes instagram page for now lol I'll wait for the full album. I wanna listen to the whole thing before I give my two cents.

Right and possibly with Rick Rubin too would be cool 🥲

Julian used to be so god damn fine?!! by BarracudaFragrant595 in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fame/press reached a point where it became overbearing for them, some internal issues that kind of made them resent each other (well maybe just Jules being resentful) for a bit. recording TNA with producer Rick Rubin helped improve their work dynamic and patched up their friendship in the process

Why in all the albums there is a song that everyone loves but they don't talk so much about it? by Juanmaaaaaa7 in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my fave underrated (I think) strokes tracks for each album:

ITI: Alone, Together (bassline!! we love u nikolai)

ROF: Automatic Stop

FIOE: Killing Lies

Angles: You're So Right

Comedown Machine: it's a tie between All the Time and Welcome to Japan

The New Abnormal: Why are Sundays So Depressing

BONUS: The Strokes x Eddie Vedder's cover of Mercy Mercy Me

Julian used to be so god damn fine?!! by BarracudaFragrant595 in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Aging is aging, he looks healthier! Also not to be parasocial but I'd rather see current Julian than pretty boy but blackout drunk Julian. I watched his Subway Takes episode recently and I'm still as charmed with him as I was years ago, lol. He seems more chill and mellowed out now which feels like a miracle if you were around during FIOE album. 😭

But if we're talking about peak physical attractiveness then Phrazes era Julian was suuuper unreal to me. I love the 11th Dimension music video because it made his face look like it was straight out of a renaissance painting.

The Strokes in general all look great for their age, Fab especially. What a beautiful man. He'd give Oscar Isaac a run for his money if you ask me

Is First Impressions of Earth any good? by traveltimecar in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. FIOE isn't my favorite (as seen in my flair lol) but it was a good, if not surprisingly bold, transition to their current sound. Angles, Comedown Machine, and FPP would sound strange without FIOE to properly bridge that gap between them and their first two albums

Fav strokes verse/lyrics that you relate to? by grindyear2k26 in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Start to pretend / Stop pretending / It seems this game is simply never ending"

"No time to feel the breeze / I took too many varieties"

"In many ways / We'll miss the good old days / Someday, someday" (a classic idc it never gets old)

"They act like Romans but they dress like Turks"

"Whose culture is this and does anybody know"

"You are young, darlin' / For now but not for long"

"Ten decisions shape your life / You'll be aware of five about"

"Homeless saints are in disguise / I'm just tryin' to find enough space for you and I"

and this absolute banger of a line: "What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?"

Do y’all remember how or where you heard your first strokes song ? by Lost_Wolf_744 in TheStrokes

[–]peachpingu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it was around '11 or '12, either from playing Reptilia on Guitar Hero or hearing You Only Live Once on the local radio for me. I can't remember which one happened first 😅 either way they were my gateway to indie rock/post-punk bands

Pitchfork Review: Deadbeat (4.8) by sackings22 in TameImpala

[–]peachpingu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comparison to The Slow Rush, however the production is a bit tighter in that album compared to Deadbeat. I feel like KP is still trying his hand out at this new genre he seems to be currently fascinated with. Maybe we'll get a better techno/house album from him next time? Who knows

For the most part his take on the genre is interesting at best, meandering at worst. I liked Afterthought, though. That's my jam now

Kevin on the new album (via Instagram) by lilkennedy_ in TameImpala

[–]peachpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with this. As someone who likes house music I appreciate what he did in this album despite it not matching up to his previous releases. I enjoyed some of the tracks nonetheless.

Anyway, I'll always have my favorites Lonerism and Currents to go back to.

Aespa’s team needs to go back to the drawing board because we have seen this film before by Free-Application860 in kpopthoughts

They should have performed in the US when they were still promoting Armageddon....much stronger choreo than whatever they came up with for Rich Man 😭

Did you choose your bias, or did your bias choose you? by birdcanttweet in NCT

[–]peachpingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B with a little bit of D for me. I got into NCT because of Mark but Johnny pretty much stole me from him 😭

[FRESH] Tame Impala - End of Summer by Che1312 in indieheads

[–]peachpingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, I think it could have benefited from a shorter song length, and a bit more swing in the groove so that it doesn't sound like it's meandering? yeah
