the talk of the new album got me thinking. im gonna buy the damn thing anyway though, bc i really have hope for them. i just think all their songs sound the same.

In all honesty...They're ok in my book. There are some great f'n songs on "is this it?". And I think they're cool. I'm straight so I don't know about their hottness. Albert Hammond Jr. is a great dresser, though.

I hope the new record is good so they won't come to be known as a flash in the pan.

oh please

With all due respect Roadie (and honestly...I do have lots of respect), that's a lame thing to say.

I think this calls for another gender conversation in your kitchen. I'll bring along my most feminine nurturing qualities to demonstrate that both males and females possess the power of same-sex aesthetic appreciation.

Roadie, I'm affraid your constant digressions about the state of your sexuality despite claims about your so-called femininity can only be read as latent homosexuality. I hesitate to use the term "homophobia" but if the shoe fits.
The Strokes are somewhat hot dudes and decent dressers though their fashion sense comes off as forced a lot of the time. But who am I to talk? I've seen Julian Casablancas look like everything from a model worthy of his father's mantle to a pale, bloated alcoholic. More than anything else they all seem to look good smoking and holding beers, the true measure of rock star power. It's amazing how far looking cool will get you in the music industry. Why am I not famous yet? Ha, ha dicks!!!!

I would need to see more photos to make a judgment on their hotness.

Musically, they're OK. Nothing great, and nothing I haven't heard before.

However, a favorite activity around the Foolery household is to take the tune to "Is This It?" and change the lyrics entirely.

Latent homosexuality? Thats a hell of a thing to accuse of somebody on a message board. Perhaps my comment was a cop-out, although I did say Albert Hammond Jr. is a fantastic dresser. Of course I will admit that most of the guys in the Strokes are good looking guys, however it seemed to me that the connotation of the word "hot" in this case was in reference to some sort of sexual attraction. Neuboy, when was the last time you referred to a another guy as being "hot"? (other than the convienient instance in your last post.) When have you ever seen a guy in a club or on T.V or in a magazine and said "wow, he is hot"? You haven't, because you understand that word to mean the same thing as I do. So spare me the self righteous bullshit. Also, I wonder how much my single status has to do with all this. Sadly I think there is a real problem in this culture with labeling guys who do not have girlfriends and do not go around fucking anything with a heartbeat as gay. Its like, If you don't have a serious girlfriend, and you're not sleeping with a different girl every week, you must be gay.

Alas, this is not to say a man shouldn't be above admitting that another man is "good looking" or "handsome". So I guess that was my mistake in my last post.

Another thing to consider is the fact that I would consider the "latent homosexual" response to the question posed to be "Fuck the Strokes. They look like a bunch of fags." You know, the College Frat Boy attitude.

You know, what is ironic about all this is the fact that I currently have a huge crush on a girl and can't get her out of my mind. Its like being back in high school. Man its been so long i forgot what that feeling is like...the nervousness when she walks into the room, spending the extra time to look good, wearing your best clothes, heartbeat racing, trying to casually make eye contact.....Even if i don't get to date this girl, at least it feels great to "feel" again. I think I'm happy in my misery when it comes to having a crush on a girl. At the least it makes for great inspiration when writing.

That's god's honest fucking truth.

It was a joke. You're far too sensitive.

I hear gay people are sensitive.

i hear roadie's gay

I don't really have the time to read all these long posts. I just wanted to say fuck the Strokes. They look like a bunch of fags.

this is true.....
