i mean, strokes totally classic still.

I generally have nothing against revivalist bands like The Strokes (I loved "Hard To Explain" and "Last Night"), but do they have to be so shitty live?

I woke up hungover Sunday morning with no memory of Saturday night past 11 (what/who I did), and then I came close to screaming and crying because I thought I was in the room alone. It took me a full five minutes or so to realize that Julian was just in the shower and not in another bed somewhere with another girl(s). Took me only about 5 seconds after that to realize I was about to be sick, so I stumbled to the bathroom and managed to get to the toilet and threw up until I was puking bile. Jules standing there in the shower looking down at me and looking dead said "if only I could hide it as well as you do." Then for different reasons I came close to a breakdown and suddenly hated him more than I'd ever hated anything, but he said head up, baby, this shit isn't new to you anymore, you never do anything you don't intend to. So I got over it, as one does, then a smile and a kiss and a fuck and a song and back to normal.

oh dear...

That is a whole world of wrong.

well that settles that then - strokes: classic!

a smile and a kiss and a fuck and a song and the land that we stand on is ours...

Yikes.

Am I alone in wanting the next Strokes record to be based entirely (lyrically) on that paragraph?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:11 (nineteen years ago) link

i know - he talks just like his songs!!!

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:11 (nineteen years ago) link

meet me in the bathroom!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Like most blogs I've read I kinda wish I didn't know this much about her life. Reading this makes me feel kinda icky.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:15 (nineteen years ago) link

she kinda hot tho

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

aside from the bile

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

she very hot - good times for the strokes

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:19 (nineteen years ago) link

*checks photo again* I disagree with you on this hotness assessment.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Monday was Julian's birthday, happy times. I did my best to make it special, and uhh I think I did..that's all I'll say.

ned you nuts

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:20 (nineteen years ago) link

mcdonalds birthday party!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:21 (nineteen years ago) link

That quote decreases it further.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:22 (nineteen years ago) link

she's got a younger e.g. daily quality but foxier i think

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:22 (nineteen years ago) link

ned if you're gonna start rejecting strokes sloppy seconds you are seriously shrinking your pond dude

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:23 (nineteen years ago) link

agreed with blount and neurotic w/r/t sheer, mindblowing hotness.

maybe she took him to Chuckie Cheese; wasn't real specific.

'heads up baby, here's a real Happy Meal'

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:24 (nineteen years ago) link

*considers that this means Blount hangs around the Strokes' hotels looking for girlfriends*

(Dan in rare tongue-biting moment wrt making fun of Blount)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:27 (nineteen years ago) link

say it don't spray it dude!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:28 (nineteen years ago) link

she really likes pictures of herself, doesn't she?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:30 (nineteen years ago) link

(In retrospect it wasn't as mean as I thought it was, but it also wasn't funny; it was just some tired "Well Ned, where do you expect Blount to look for girlfriends?" bullshit. 3/10)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:30 (nineteen years ago) link

trolling hotelhallways for strokes spunk spitoons would barely rank in skeeviness on my 'the things we do for love' scale

Those are your favorite spittoons, then.

Last night: As I already said, last night was the Libertines show, and as I already said, it was unbelievable. I feel like I'm watching something almost historic in music culture when I see them perform

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Any further claims of hotness have just been torpedoed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

ah ned i see you're unfamiliar with the 'you like tori amos? i LOVE tori amos! she's a genius!' gambit

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

That picture > all the "bus" picks from that rancorous noise thread

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:39 (nineteen years ago) link

it's like it was taken at a mork convention.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

*shivers*

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

ah ned i see you're unfamiliar with the 'you like tori amos? i LOVE tori amos! she's a genius!' gambit

What gambit? I have nearly all of her albums. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:42 (nineteen years ago) link

"nearly"?? no punani for you!

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Uh, thanks?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

"if only I could hide it as well as you do."

classic strokes song of the future!

― Magic City (ano ano), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

he sort of deserves that kinda girlfriend for taking all the credit on the songs. 'all songs by j casablancas' oh *really*?!!

still love the strokes mind.

and i'm not believing those j c quotes either.

― piscesboy, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:54 (nineteen years ago) link

o man julia lennon theory to thread

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 14:57 (nineteen years ago) link

bwahahaha. i've probably had to remove this girl from the backstage area at some point.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:45 (nineteen years ago) link

classics.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow, this chick's CD collection is almost a perfect subset of mine, except for the huge run of John Mayer stuff, and the Strokes completism. That is DEEPLY disturbing, embarrassing, etc. However, the opportunities for Tori Amos-style gambits are virtually unlimited should I run into her.

― southern lights (southern lights), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Not enough metal.
