You magnificent creature

Yeah I’m gonna caption this instead of putting my feels in the tags and you will fucking deal.
I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I saw this performance. That information is not relevant. What is relevant is that this band would completely and utterly transform my life. My taste, my friends, my beliefs, my heart - all completely changed for the better. My favorite bands will change at will. I will lose interests and find new ones. Life will go on. But this band will always be the most important musical influence to ever touch my life and I love them more than words can ever say.
Yeah now I have all the feelings ever about The Strokes, they were and still are my band and without them my life really would be different I wouldn’t know half the people I do now. I love them so much and always will.

Left and Right in the Dark ; Julian Casablancas ♫
Running in the parking lot, I’m four years old
I am lost, those were the days
Soft memory of voices in the other room
Comforting you, as you fall asleep
Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by
We’re in a race against time
And time might be winning
And it’s not gonna take all day long
Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I’m on my way, oh, somewhere
Feels like I’m going left and right in the dark
How long must you wait
How long must you stay
Wake up
I am ashamed, I think maybe sometimes
I might have used tricks to make you like me more
When I found you I was running wild
Let’s get outta here, and let’s travel there
I wanna know what you’re thinking
‘Cause I think, I think it too
Sliding across the Indian wildnerness
Like the wind, riding down sore throats
6am now you’re in Hollywood
And you’re dancing, we made it
We are turning back the Earth so fast
That it feels a lot slower
And it’s not gonna take all day long
Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy
And I’m on my way on somewhere
Feels like I’m going left and right in the dark
How long will it take
To fix what can’t break
Wake up
Your Achilles heel is you like to feel
Your fingers on the wheel
Some live in the palace, some live in the sewers
The director and the actor and the crew and the viewers
Boys got their toys and girls got their dolls and
Nothing much else changes in the final stages
Are you spending today as the same
As your life in corruption and temper in the way
Wait up
Wake up♫♥
What a song

why
Did you ever accidentally watch 10 minutes of Stephen King’s It when you were younger? Scarred for life.
I read the book……trust me even scarier than the movie. Damn you Pennywise. Damn you Julian. Damn clowns everywhere
Forever awkward

Don’t believe everything Wiki tells you ;) No he did come into the studio and but often on his own and in the end they rerecorded a lot of the songs in Albert’s studio. So yeah it was mostly separate for reasons mentioned in interviews last year he didn’t want to overpower the recording process with his own opinions, etc
Hah short answer nooooooo and I must have listened to this version hundreds of times before ROF came out
Pretty much all I can be certain he sings is ‘You don’t understand me / So stand by and land me’ which makes no sense. The rest of it is too Julianish for even me to figure out
This was like one of the first pics I ever saw of the band and I was like who are these cool fuckers?
Hah this pic and the Julian fuck you meme has literally taken over my dash, i just logged onto Tumblr and it was there like 50 times I thought I was going mad

The purple background one was from the Fuse interview
The B&W one I’m not entirely sure, I recongise it but can’t place the video
