Plus Daft Punk and hiphop rhythms and stuff. But we've been over this again and again recently.

"take me out" starts as pastiche of the strokes, then turns into pastiche of "interpol" (around the "i say you don't know" bit). in lizzie goodman's recent book, alex k directly admits seeing the strokes and interpol live encouraged him to make music like that

i had never heard of urge overkill until today. sounds like a fictional hair rock band from an 80s/early 90s movie.

I had an album of theirs once which made absolutely no impression on me whatsoever.
