STROKES v SPOON

make a spotify playlist imho

listening to comedown machine now, the vocals are very different

bah, refuted by science *shakes fist*

i never checked out comedown machine until last week thanks to that ghastly "take on me" rip they'd released, but some of it was surprisingly pretty. also surprisingly/ironically similar to phoenix. would have thought they'd be too self-conscious to jock the steez of their steez-jockers

great strokes album could be made out of combining first impressions and angles

do it!

wow first impressions is worse than it was in my memory

horribly brickwalled, too

You Only Live Once, Juicebox, Heart in a Cage, Razorblade, Ask Me Anything, Electricityscape, Fear of Sleep, 15 Minutes and Ize of the World are the keepers on First Impressions. Throw in Juicebox's B-Side Hawaii and that's a solid album.

I really liked Angles when it came out but looking at the track listing now I only really remember the first two songs.

Agree that Comedown Machine is pretty underrated. I really didn't think they had a song like Call It Fate Call It Karma in them.

hoo boy do i hate "15 minutes"

Always found his Shane MacGowan really entertaining.
