First impressions of Earth - alternative tracklist

I made my own version of the tracklist for this album. I cut a few songs and rearranged the rest to make the flow feel more balanced between the singles, the bangers, and the more “bridge” type songs (On the Other Side, Evening Sun, Fear of Sleep).

Thoughts?

Is Drag Queen good?

I remember this being one of my least favorite songs of theirs but recently it’s been growing on me. I’ve been revisiting future present past a lot after the viral Coachella performance and it caught my ear. Really reminds me of some newer post punk e.g. Viagra boys or Fontaines DC. Crazy that it came out in 2016 truly the Future part of the EP

I love this part of Too Many Times by The Growlers when they imitate Julian's vocal style 🥹

The album is under Julian's private label and he actually worked on the album and contributed to vocals on other songs like Rubber and Bone, but they aren't his on this track.

October 29, 2003

The Strokes and Regina Spektor perform "Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men" at The Theater at MSG. Kings of Leon were also on the bill. I went two nights in a row and paid less than $100 total. Here's one of the few photos I have from night one.

Julian on the trajectory of The Strokes and The Voidz

(From 2020) Hopefully this provides a little more context on why the album so far feels more Voidz-like. For me I’m just glad he’s speaking positively about the band and that he is enjoying it again

I included Romance in my top 5 rock albums of the 2020s

Hi! I just uploaded a new episode of Record Room about my top 5 rock albums of the 2020s, and I included Romance by Fontaines D.C.
I talk about why the album feels like such an exciting step for the band, how everything feels bigger, darker, more cinematic, and more atmospheric, while still keeping the tension and edge that made them so interesting in the first place.
Sharing it here in case anyone wants to check it out.

Best song when you are heartbroken

Hi everyone ! I'am very interested to know what is in your opinion the best Strokes song about heartbreak, or what is the best song to listen while your heartbroken. And what lyrics are meaningful to you in this situation.

Thanks :)

Vinyl Delivery delayed 2 months

My Vinyl of Reality Awaits will arrive in August instead of June. Based in Germany. Probably has to do with the late name change of Pros and Cons to Tyrants of the mellow moon.

Funniest ranking of songs of The Strokes I've seen

I came across this worst-to-best ranking of all 73 songs The Strokes had put out and was surprised to see that it doesn't even had 900 likes (meanwhile the Radiohead worst-to-best has 13k already).

It's a really fun and thought out video, so I'm sharing here to help bro grow his channel (and maybe do a Voidz ranking next time)

Updated Tour Poster

There's been some chatter about ticket sales over the last few weeks which is somewhat understandable considering how poorly a lot of tours are doing this year. So its nice to see so many sold out tags on this updated poster! FWIW Boston is getting close to sold out and Seattle isn't too far behind. Same for the additional London date.

People whose favourite album is Comedown Machine, why?

This isn’t a hate post or anything i’m just genuinely curious what people who love this album see in it for it to be their favourite of their discography. With the amount of incredible albums they have I always found this one very average and I saw posts of people saying this is their favourite one and it baffles me but I just don’t see what you guys do i guess? Again no hate, I think every album they have brings its own flavour, and one of my favourite strokes songs is One Way Trigger which is on this album but every other song seems so bland and forgettable compared to their other work which has catchy memorable riffs. I would love to hear how the fans of this album love it and why :)
